Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. For drop-ins, I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and playtime, while making sure your home is secure. For house sitting, I maintain your pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I treat your home with the same respect and care as my own.

Information Shay W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you want me to feed them while I am there and how much. Also if the dog has any triggers or special care that I should be aware of.

A typical day

I follow a similar route that the pet parents typically go on around the neighborhood and let them sniff as much as they want! I make sure that more energetic dogs get the exercise they need by taking them to a dog park in the neighborhood (if approved by pet parent) and walking/running with them. When we go back inside I make sure their water bowl is full and then give them lots of pets and love.

Reliable Walks, Happy Pups

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Shay and i’m a 20 year old dog sitter with many years of experience! I’m a third year college student at UCF and trying to make some money while also gaining experience and connections. I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifetime of experience around pets. I’ve been taking care of animals since I got my dog in middle school and have been taking care of other people’s dogs ever since I could start driving! Also, for the past year I’ve regularly dog sat for a police officer and her retired senior K-9, building trust and consistency with both owner and pup. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether it’s during a walk or while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.

Shay is caring, responsible and loves all pets. She communicates well and is punctual. We feel relaxed and assured when we know that Shay is watching our dog and cats.

Shay is a true gem! She has been helping me care for my senior dog for over a year. Shay goes above and beyond to care for my Ziva, gives me a play-by-play update on how the visit went, and always provides excellent peace of mind. I would HIGHLY recommend Shay for your pet sitting needs.
