Highlights
Pet care experience
playing, watching & caring for dogs
I started watching dogs around 6 years ago now (I was 15 at the time) where my first client was a coworker of my mothers with 2 12 week old puppies. I would watch them everyday for an hour over the summers then throughout the year I would watch them and the house for multiple weekends and weeks. That job itself made me develop such a love for watching and caring for animals as well as gave me an opportunity to learn how to properly care for a house and growing dogs (especially with learning how to handle more than one dog at a time). I have a huge soft spot in my heart for these animals and plan on working with them in my career (when I get there, currently a junior in college). I am respectful, responsible and reliable when it comes to both pet and house care, what you need I will do! I have attended pet care and training classes for my own dogs, I have grown up with animals with behavior issues and have learned how to handle a dog with anxiety. Every dog deserves love and I will love them as much as you do! I think you will find that I am passionate and eager to help with your pet needs!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for your pet in your own home, I will follow any and all rules you have already established with the dog(s) and myself. I will not do anything that is not ran by you first and I will always make sure your dog is comfortable with me and what we are doing.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much! Also I love that our Otis greeted you at the front door. So happy Duke was a good boy for you :)
Shay was punctual, trustworthy and very comfortable walking my German Shepherd while I was out of town. She always provided a detailed summary of their time together and sent photos, which let me know he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommended dog sitter!
Another awesome drop in visit with pic!!
Shay was on time and great with Lucy. I will definitely have Shay check in on Lucy again!
Shay was awesome. Kept me updated on how things were going with Sully. High recommend if you need a dog/house sitter.
Shay was fantastic - she walked our dog half the time over a month-long vacation. Our dog liked her immediately, and communication, updates and info from her was always given promptly and clearly. Will definitely book again!

Schedule
I am a senior at Siena College which makes my schedule a bit complicated. As for the summer months (as in May-August) I am home in North Tonawanda, New York whereas during the school year (September-May) I am in Latham, New York. Since it is summer, I am home and currently working as a basketball coach 2-4 days a week in the afternoon. Other than that, my schedule is extremely flexible which should make it easier for me to make accommodations for you and your pet!
