Pet care experience

Brown medical student, dog lover

Dogs have been a part of my family since childhood, and I would love to provide a comfortable, safe space for your dog! From training, walking, cleaning, feeding, and playing, I have experience taking care of all sorts of breeds. I’ve also volunteered at the Providence Animal Rescue League as a foster for both dogs and cats, and am passionate about making a happy home for all animals. Whether they love to play or would prefer their space, I am confident I can provide the best individualized care for your pet.

Shay was wonderful with our pup, Dash! She communicated clearly and often, sent updates, and was so easy to work with. Dash was well taken care of and enjoyed his time away with such a caring sitter!

Shay took excellent care of Melvin and put my mind at ease with daily updates. I was able to relax, knowing he was in good hands and was having fun without me.

Shay was so sweet and diligent taking care of our 9-week old puppy. She was so patient and kind with him, and he came back from his visit very happy! Shay is very communicative and on top of it! Highly recommend!

Shay was extremely flexible and responsive throughout the booking process, she took the time to get to know Haru’s quirks, habits, and needs, and she provided him a fun, comfortable, and safe place to stay while we were away, all at the last minute too. We are so grateful she was able to watch Haru this weekend and hope to be able to work with her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I do not own any pets currently, so I will be able to provide all my attention and love to caring for your pet! I am open to being active and taking long walks or resting comfortably at home, whatever your pet prefers!

A typical day

I can go on walks or runs with your dog depending on their preference! I would love to play with your pet indoors or outdoors - whether it be playing fetch, running around in circles, or teaching new tricks, I am open doing fun activities matching any level of energy your pet has!
