Treating all animals with love!

Pet care experience

I’m a huge animal lover. To me, pets are not only companions, but therapeutic partners in life. I enjoy getting to know their unique and individual personalities and building relationships with them. As a patient and gentle caretaker, I treat pets as if they’re my own. Providing clients with excellent customer service is a responsibility I take very seriously. Not only do I take extremely good care of their pets, but I am sure to be in communication as much as you need. Sending updates, photos, and videos of your furry friends are just a few ways I provide excellent love and care. In my years of experience caring for pups, I’ve learned how to responsibly supervise all kinds of dogs, including various breeds. One of my most cherished clients is a family with four rescued street dogs. Being around them has encouraged me to begin volunteering at a local adoption center. When I’m not spending time with a pup or my cat, Monster, I enjoy experiencing new things and making friends. I live in a wonderful apartment with my husband, Tony, who is also a big dog lover. He’ll be around to help assist me, giving your dog extra cuddles and love. And with over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds - cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and more - he’s the perfect fit for me and you! Though I enjoy yoga, traveling, reading, and roaming the city of New York, spending time with my family is what truly makes me happy. I’ve always been an outgoing person with lots of energy, which is perfect for spending time with pups! I also love to maintain a positive outlook and mindset as I go through life, making me the perfect friend for your loved one.

Shay was awesome. She is attentive, responsive on the phone and truly loves dogs. I would highly recommend Shay for all of your dog needs and will definitely be using her again. Thank you for everything!

Thank you Shay for walking Penny on such short notice. The video was a great touch and Penny looks forward to seeing you again soon!

Shay was great! She provided so many updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. She even tidied up the house before we came home! We will definitely ask her to sit for us again next time we are out of town!

Shay is really responsive. She accepted my fairly last minute requests after 2 sitters canceled. She is super sweet to my cat and very detailed. She not only sends me pictures and report on Pipi’s status over the course of her drop in. She stays the full 30 minutes and sometimes more to make sure my cat is accompanied. The service provides me peace of mind while traveling. When I came home, my cat is really happy and well fed. I’m so happy too. Something exceeds my expectation is that Shay cleaned up the cat hair on the couch in her last sitting. I will definitely come back for her next time.

Information Shay S. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? Does your pup have any medical or health issues that I should be aware of? Dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What are your pup's favorite toys, treats, and games?

A typical day

On a stay with me, your dog will feel safe and loved. I live in a wonderful apartment in Jersey City that has a large doggy playground on the 8th floor! It’s a perfect spot for dogs who stay with me to play, run, and explore! When we’re not snuggling inside, I love taking pups out to the boardwalk on the Hudson River, only 10 minutes away. It’s a peaceful journey and at the end, a beautiful view awaits. It’s great for any furry friend that I’m with.
