Pet care experience

Born to Help What Can’t Speak

I genuinely enjoy being around pets and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every pet have a different personality and energy level, so I take time to help them feel safe and relaxed. I can help with feeding walks playtime potty breaks and keeping up with their normal routine. I am dependable patient and will care for your pet with attention and kindness. I also send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you are away.

Shayla was wonderful! She kept in contact with me the whole time she had my cat with pictures and updates. She was flexible and accommodating and I plan to use her again anytime I need a pet sitter.

Shayla is awesome! I needed a super short notice cat sitter for just the night due to an emergency in my family and she kept my chubby man Logan happy and chill. I was sent photos within the first 30 mins of him already being super comfortable, relaxed laying sprawled out in her home and Logan can be shy with new people so it was awesome and comforting. I also received updates without even having to ask. He was a very happy guy and he even was cuddling with miss Shayla’s mom and they even called him LoLo which I find adorable. I’m happy he had such a trusting and caring person to be with him at a time that his family couldn’t and I will be 100% giving Shayla a call back next time I need Mr.LoLo with a sitter. Thank you again -a very stressed Cat Uncle, who is thankful you took something off my plate during a chaotic time.

I had a great experience with Shayla. I had a last-minute need for someone to watch my cat, and she took wonderful care of him for an entire week. She was flexible, communicative, and made the whole process completely stress-free. I felt at ease the entire time he was with her. I would absolutely book with her again.

Shayla D. is truly one of the most reliable, compassionate, and responsible people I have ever met. She has such a naturally kind and patient spirit that both people and animals immediately feel safe and comfortable around her. Whether she’s caring for pets, helping others, or simply showing up when someone needs her, Shayla always goes above and beyond with genuine love and attention. What makes Shayla so special is the way she treats every animal as if they were her own. She is attentive, trustworthy, nurturing, and incredibly intuitive with animals’ needs and personalities. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation because I know they would be cared for with the utmost love, safety, and responsibility. Beyond that, Shayla is simply an amazing human being. She is dependable, hardworking, warm-hearted, and the type of person you can always count on. Anyone who chooses Shayla through Rover is not just getting a pet sitter or dog walker they’re getting someone who truly cares and will provide exceptional care every single time.
