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 working 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. 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. Please note-I have just relocated to the area, so housesitting hours from August 20 moving forward until my own pets are acclimated to.their environment will be done 800a-7pm in your home, and returning to my own home for the evening.

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!

We highly recommend Shay. This was our 1st time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and we were nervous. Shay helped reassure us, and sent videos and pictures. She is a good person and was very good with our girl and treated her as one of her own. Thank you Shay for helping us have a worry free vacation!

Shay is a wonderful person. I have known her for 20 plus years. She is loving and compassionate with her animals, as well as my own! Shay has taken care of my dogs after surgeries when I was unable to stay home with them and I always come to her when I need someone i can trust. Her background in the veterinary field and desire to help animals is what makes her such a great pet caregiver. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my babies!
