Experienced Veterinanary Assistant

Pet care experience

I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs.

Shay did a wonderful job watching our pet while we were away. Shay took time to check in with us, send pictures and updates on how our fur baby was adjusting. Returning home we could tell our cat Pumpkin was happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your fur babies just as well as you do, Shay is the person to trust!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
