Safety, trust & environment

I find most pets perfer staying in their own familiar home. Keeping them happy and relaxed is a main goal of mine and whether on vacation or working a long day, you and your pet will be less stressed knowing they are safe at home.

Information Shay S. would like to know about your pet

Before every visit or stay, I like meeting with you. Tell me about your pet! Do they take medicine? Only eat specialized food? Like their beds made a certain way before they'll lay down? I have experience in all these areas and more. From eye drop medicine, oral medication, mixing up specific dietary needs and even singing special songs cause "it's they only way they eat" I've done it. No detail is too small, I write everything down and stick to it.

A typical day

If you're worried your pet isn't getting enough exercise, that is no problem for me! If you have a routine exercise plan in mind or already have a scheduled plan set for your pet, we can discuss together and get it all worked out.

Pet care experience

Hello, call me Shay. I've grown up with dogs and have always wanted to be in a profession where I can work with them. I have always had family rely on me when it came to pet sitting their furry family members. Now I am so happy to do it for you. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and even brushing if requested. I am really hoping that with the extra funds I get from this amazing experience, I will be able to fund my future in a career that works with animals daily. I will love and treat your pet like they were one of my own. I am pretty flexible and always willing to take extra time to work with more timid pets. For house stays I always have someone with me so please be sure to let me know if that's something you don't want :)

Shay was the only person my husband and I trusted with our dog when she was just a brand new puppy! She was our dedicated puppy sitter, especially through those early training years. Now our girl is grown, but still loves play visits from Shay and gets so excited to see her, every time! Shay is a very loving person and has great patience for all animals. She is responsible and very trustworthy. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our little fur babies!

Shay is so passionate about working with animals. She is very patience with each animal and treats each one with love. She is respectful towards pet owners rules and cares for my dogs the same way I do. Even sings them the song I sing when I'm making their dinner.

Shay has been the best dog sitter i have found!. She is respectful to myself, my home and my dogs. I have 3 so i know it can be a lot for anyone but she has done a great job. All 3 of my dogs love her. We work long hour days so its nice to have help with them so they dont feel alone. She makes sure they are let out, exicised and fed. I have used her on work days and even when i go on trips. With her around i know my dogs are loved and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
