Pet care experience

Outdoorsy Sitter

I grew up with dogs, cats, goats, chickens, pigs, peacocks. You name it. I’ve been a huge fan of animals since I can remember. I’m super active outside and love taking pups out on hikes or walks. My last dog had to take meds so I’m also extra sensitive to pups that may need more present care. I’ve dog sat and house sat for many years before and just recently decided to give rover a try. I’m also a photographer so pics of your sweet pea will be guaranteed!

Safety, trust & environment

I am generous with my love with pets if they want that. If they are shy I will absolutely listen to what they need and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I am clean and respectful of others’ space and strive to make sure your sweet pup gets the activities they deserve.

Shay! Where to even begin! Essentially, the most loving, thoughtful, gracious and conscientious caregiver. Shay has such respect for space, place, and all beings. She leaves homes better than she finds them, and tends to your four legged friends and babies like they are her own. I cannot recommend Shay highly enough!

Shay did a wonderful job watching over our home and our chickens. She is very conscientious and caring. She clearly loves animals and it was apparent in the attention she gave our feathered friends. We would love to hire her in the future. So impressed!

Shay is an amazing and caring dog sitter and owner. She is also a gem of a human. Shay has been a dog watcher to my Australian Shepherd for 8 years and I completely trust her with my dog in every way. She will always be my first choice when looking for a dog sitter.

We had a great experience with Shay. From the very beginning, communication was outstanding — we always felt updated, informed, and completely at ease while our dog was in her care. It’s clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. A great sign for us was how excited and happy our dog is every time we drop her off. That kind of trust is a great comfort to us. We never have to worry because we know our dog is being treated like family. We feel fortunate to find someone that we can rely on and highly recommend Shay to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Please let me know if your sweet pet needs anything special in caring for them so that I am able to prepare. What kind of activities he/she likes or doesn’t like and if they are okay around other people, children, or dogs if we end up going out in public somewhere.
