Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible and active sitter
Hello! I'm a single mother of two. I've boarded professionally for 6+ years and am a full time boarder. My children are school ages of 5 & 6 and my brother lives with me as well. We all love doggos big and small. We have a pit staffy mix named Bellatrix (Bella) and she loves meeting new pup friends. I'm firm on schedules and planning and on time cancelations. I love playing and walks. I promise to give your pup the best experience possible!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shay was a wonderful house sitter. Both our dog and cat were happy and healthy during her stay. She checked in often and sent pictures or videos daily. She was very communicative and sent questions and updates often. She also went above and beyond by helping with an extra request. Highly recommend!
I was really hoping this was going to work out as I booked a couple future visits with Shay. I saw all the great reviews so was excited for her to stay with my fur baby. Unfortunately this was the total opposite and will be the last time; I cancelled all of the future visits. Yesterday I was on my way to a camp site and was going to lose reception. Shay was supposed to arrive at 11am and I didn’t hear from her so I reached out around 12:30pm. She said she was 20 minutes away at 1:25 and according to my Ring app, she didn’t show up until almost 2pm. Keep in mind, I have lost reception at this point and was at the camp site with zero peace of mind. I understand things come up, but I would’ve appreciated a text so I can plan accordingly. Shay was 3 hours late- half of the time of the stay. On top of that, she brought her young son and didn’t inform me. Luckily my puppy is good with kids. And don’t get me wrong- I love kids but heads up would’ve been nice. I also requested prior to the stay that Shay walked my puppy 2/3 times. She confirmed but did not execute. She told me she walked her at 4:58pm but my Ring app show me that she left at 5:02pm. Again, I just want open communication and honesty. I have voiced my concerns to Shay prior to this review and honestly should’ve been partially refunded. Total waste of time and energy. I really hope none of you experienced what I did!
This was our first time using this service and we were nervous about it. But Shay was great with our animals. She communicated well and sent a picture. And I don’t know what kind of animal whisperer she is but when we got home our dog who suffers separation anxiety was happy to see us but was calm about showing us her love. We would book her again! 🙂
Always leaves my place in good condition and she helped me out on a holiday which was greatly appreciated!
Shay was great with my pup! She was very good at communicating and she left my place in good condition. I’d gladly hire her to watch my dog anytime!
Shay is amazing with my baby girl! And her daily pics and notes about their time together make my day! I highly recommend hiring her!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an open two bedroom apartment with hardwood floors so mess is no problem unless it becomes hazardous. I give baths if requested or needed. I take walks every two hours and feed as scheduled.
Pets
A typical day
I love going on walks and playing fetch. I always get excited when I'm able to do tricks with all the pups. We can have all sorts of fun inside and outside.
