Trusthworthy & Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have over 30 years of pet care experience. Your fur babies will be treated as my own! I love to take long walks around our small neighborhood or in our 4 acre yard along our trails in the woods, play with toys and cuddle on the couch. I am experienced with caring for senior pets and giving them their medications as needed. I work from home, so your loved one will never be alone. I am also able to text updates/photos while you're away to help ease your nerves while you're away. Contact me to set up a free meet and greet or to ask any questions. I look forward to helping with your fur babies soon! ****New Clients**** A short meet & greet is required before confirmation of booking/boarding. I have two young children, so I have to make sure your dog will be a good fit with us. ****I do not take same-day requests for boarding****

Shay & her family did a great job of caring for my golden retriever! She was good at sending pictures and communicating with me. I would definitely book with her in the future.

Hi! I just wanted to leave a quick note to say how wonderful you were with my dog. I really appreciated the care, patience, and attention you gave her while she was with you. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Thank you for being reliable, communicative, and so kind to her. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

We dropped our dogs off for the weekend and they had a blast! We received pictures the whole time and pick up and drop off was easy. Our younger dog gets anxiety and we dropped off his medication with him, Shay was great to work with! We will definitely be using her again for our pups
