Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My priority is safety, trust, and comfort in every visit. I ensure the pets are secure, fed, exercised, and comfortable. I monitor their health and behavior, provide plenty of attention and calm energy, and keep owners updated. During walks or playtime, I stay cautious, watch for hazards or potential conflicts, and adapt to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home or my own, I maintain a clean, organized environment and follow a routine to keep things predictable and comfortable. I treat every pet like family, providing the love and care they are used to, to make transitions easier and keep them at ease!

Shay did a wonderful job taking care of our girls. We were so pleased on how she kept us informed on the daily visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone who is so passionate and caring about her job. It was comforting seeing her posts and how she was loving our girls. We will be using her again for our next trip if she is available.

Shay was amazing with my two pups. When she came for the meet and greet the dogs loved her and she was not worried about them being bigger dogs. She sent me plenty of photos of my babies. She was great and I would book with her every time!!

Shay was absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything she did for my little puppy! She was excellent with communication and letting me know any updates as I was having a hard time leaving my girl for a work trip!

She is absolutely wonderful with cats! I have two cats, including a long-haired cat who needs extra attention, and she takes incredible care of them. She formed a great connection with both of my cats, and they’re always happy to see her and spend time with her. She’s also very dependable with daily medications, giving me total peace of mind!! I highly recommend her!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care- walks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and any time dependent medications. I’m very attentive and want pet owners and pets to reduce separation anxiety by knowing they can trust me. My schedule allows for unique needs and care.
