Pet care experience

Snub nose + Special need experience

I've grown up with animals my whole life so reading their cues & moods comes naturally to me. I treat every pet as an individual & always meet them where they're at. Having recently said goodbye to my own lil one, spending time w animals right now brings me comfort & a lil extra company would be truly welcome. Whether your baby needs a quick potty break, a gentle/BRISK walk or just company while you're away, I’d love to be there for them. Book a meet n greet; I’m sure your pet will tell you if they like me or not .

Shay was great to our sweet boy! He requires lots of love and medication; Shay administered every dose as instructed and made sure our boy felt loved while we were away.

House Sitting • Jul 28, 2025

Shay was absolutely amazing with our dog, Oliver. From the start, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. While we were away, we received the most beautiful pictures and thoughtful updates. Oliver looked so happy, relaxed, and full of smiles in every single one. It meant the world to us. During the stay, it made us happy that Shay communicated that Oli peed on his bed and was bleeding a little on his paw. It’s important to feel comfortable communicating when things aren’t perfect, and Shay resolved everything with confidence and ease. When we came home, we were welcomed by a calm, well-balanced pup who had clearly been loved, followed his routine, taken all his meds, and just looked so content. Our home was also spotless, which was such a lovely surprise. You can tell Shay truly cares, Oliver clearly made a new best buddy, and it shows (he was around the house looking for them last night) We’re beyond grateful and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust them again. Thank you, Shay! You’re a gem 💎

S did a solid job watching my pitbull while I was away. She’s strong and has a ton of energy, but they handled her well. I got updates, and everything was in good shape when I got back. Would book again!

My cats sprint to the door when they hear Shay walk in no joke. Shay’s the best pet sitter we’ve had. They spend the entire time playing with our pets and purely focus on them the entire time. This is why I always come back to booking Shay over and over! I can truly trust them with my animals, no stress when I’m away. Shay also sends such good pictures and videos when pet sitting and they make my day every time I see them. Highly Recommend :)

Shay is an amazing pet sitter. She thrives with cats, dogs, and probably other animals too. I personally have a very anxious cat, and Shay is one of the few people who my cat seems at peace around. Shay also does great with my cat’s needs, like multiple types of medicine, a disability, and specific litter box preferences. When Shay is watching my cat I can be assured that she is in great hands, and that I’ll get some very cute pictures. 🥰

Shay is the first person I call when I need my cat cared for, they are responsible and loving. My cat gets excited to see Shay and loves getting to spend time with them. I know when Shay is with my cats, my cats are happy!

Safety, trust & environment

I stay alone in an apartment with a private back patio (perfect if your baby likes to sunbathe like me) & an enclosed dog run in the apt building for all dogs if your pup (or other pet) like to run around/play. I’m super close to vets & Carlson parks (Culver City) too. If your pet is nervous or doesn’t like change, I’m happy to stay at your place or walk your pet around your neighbourhood instead.

A typical day

Honestly, it all depends on your pets. I think I’m pretty good at picking up on their subtle signs, behaviors, and moods, so I just follow their lead and go with whatever they want to do unless of course you want me to follow a strict routine / build habits then we follow that.
