Pet care experience

Dog will be treated like my own!

Hi my name is Shay and I love dogs! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have since then lived with another Shepherd mix and Akita mix. I am unable to care for my own dog currently, that is why I love having this opportunity to take care of others'! I have volunteered at the Adopt and Shop in Culver City, CA and loved it! I took the dogs on walks, fed them, cleaned their kennels, played with them and watched them during daycare. I loved going and looked forward to it every week. And I look forward to meeting your dog(s) as well! I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I am available anytime to sit your pup as well as take them on walks, play with them, etc.! PS I love cats too! 🐱

I came home from a last minute booking with Shay to two very happy dogs and a clean house! Shay’s communication was excellent, and we loved seeing the videos and photos that were sent everyday. I would highly recommend Shay to anyone who is looking for someone who treats their pets like family.

Shay was an incredible pet sitter for our cat and dog! Our pup can be quite anxious when we head out of town, but Shay was amazing and our dog warmed up right away. Lots of communication and cute pet pics, too. Can highly recommend!

We left our dog and house in great hands with Shay! When we got home I could tell that Levee, our dog, had been well taken care of over the course of our five day trip. Would recommend and rebook Shay in a heartbeat!

Shay took great care of my cat while I was away for four nights. She kept me updated and sent pictures, but the best part is that she was able to give my shy cat his transdermal medication each night. I was worried that it would be hard for someone else to do this since it takes awhile for my cat to warm up to new people, but even when she first came over for a meet and greet, he walked right up to her and let her pet him. I had much greater peace of mind on my vacation knowing that he was in good hands!

Shay has taken such good care of Stella for us! Great and quick communicator, shares photos so we know they’re doing well, and is very reliable. Thank you!

Shay was wonderful! I have a shy kitty and she took on to Shay immediately. Shay played with her, fed her, brushed her and cleaned her litter box daily. She also sent great daily updates and photos. Very consistent and reliable. Highly recommend!

It is helpful to learn any triggers your pet may have. I have no breed preference and love them all as long as I am fully equipped to take care of them 100%.
