Pet care experience

Responsible, Dependable, Experience

With me your dog will have lots of wags and a friend to keep him/her busy while you are away. My motto is a “tired puppy is a happy puppy”, and that’s what I bring to every pet experience - a calm approach, energetic play, a lazy nap, or a mixture of all of it depending on your pets needs. Almost 10 years experience dog-sitting has taught me to be aware & respectful of a dog’s boundaries with other animals, and aware of a dog’s need for rest and play to stay happy! Dog’s in my care at my home will have a fenced in yard & will be kept clean, safe, and busy. The best care for your pet is a familiar face, so I hope to build long-term pet-sitter confidence. I work from home & I only take small dogs who are friendly towards other dogs. No cats or children in my home.

House Sitting • giu 01, 2021

Where to even start? This was our first time using Rover, as well as our first time leaving our puppies overnight, and to say we were nervous and concerned would be an understatement. But we had NOTHING to worry about because of Shay. From the meet and greet where it was clear she was going to love our pups as if they were her own, to the conversations leading up to the stay, to the stay itself, Shay was A+++. She kept us updated with multiple daily pictures, videos, and messages and we could tell the pups just loved her. That made our trip that much more enjoyable. At the end it felt like a member of our family had stayed at our house with our dogs. We can’t recommend Shay highly enough. She is the absolute best!

Drop-In Visits • apr 12, 2021

Shay has done drop in visits for us on 2 separate occasions. Both times, our night away came up last minute and she was able to accommodate the request. She sends pictures and an update after each visit and we know Tikis in good hands and in the comfort of his own home. Thanks Shay!

Drop-In Visits • gen 14, 2021

Shay was wonderful! Extremely responsive, attentive to our baby (75lb boxer named Murphy), and just a pleasure to chat with. She provided plenty of photos and even a video of her visit for my wife and I which certainly put us at ease. Murphy clearly had a great time with her and we look forward to more walks for him and great times with Shay.

I currently work fully remote & have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood so I have regular breaks to play with your pet outside. I have a 12lb doxie who loves other small dogs. As an experienced dog owner & sitter, I always introduce dogs outside for the first meeting.

It’s important to know your pets potty habits so that we can reinforce good potty breaks & habits here. It’s important to know of any history of your pets with other dogs so that I can ensure your pets safety & comfort as well as plan any other pet stays concurrently with yours appropriately.
