Calm, engaging, loving care
Pet care experience
I grew up having dogs and cats as pets throughout my childhood. I've had some formal training and experience volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society as a Dog Walker / Kennel Buddy as well as 8 months of full-time professional pet care experience working with a local company based out of the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. I've been a reliable and consistent pet sitter for friends both short-term and extended stays. Many compliments have been given about how clean their home is when they come back from their trip!
Reviews
Shayla is the best! My very needy pups are always happy and healthy when I return, and my house is cleaner than when I left. I can have peace of mind when I am out of town and that is the best. Thank you, Shayla!!!
Shayla and Bootzilla the Rescue Cat got along fabulously, She was very communicative, sent lots of sweet pictures, and took great care of our place. I highly recommend her!
Shayla did an amazing job with Fern. We appreciated lots of photos and updates as well as coming home to a spotless home. Fern seemed so relaxed!
Shayla takes the time to lovingly care for pets in her charge and I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe in leaving your living space at least as clean or cleaner than I found it. I understand how huge a responsibility it is to take care of not only someone else's pets, but their home as well. If any issues arise, I notify you soon as possible. I love sending updates as much as you need - especially snapping album worthy photos and video clips so that you feel safe knowing how well loved and taken care of your pets are!
Information Shayla F. would like to know about your pet
How would you describe your dog's general energetic needs / personality style? Are there any medical issues or needs I will need to be attentive to? Are you working with them on any particular behaviors or tricks? How well do they get along with the presence of other dogs while out walking or in a park? Are they able to be off-leash at any point while in a non-fenced area?
A typical day
I love getting dogs outside and exploring for longer periods of time. Giving them ample time to go to a park or find fresh routes to explore is my forte. Plenty of cuddles, belly rubs and butt scratches are in endless supply, as well as fun playing with their favorite toys!

It is an honor being chosen to take care of and loving your pets as much as possible! If I am staying overnight, I make sure to devote as much of my free time to being present and actively engaged with your pets according their specific needs. I do have a part-time job in which I work a couple of 8 hour shifts per week, but because it is a flexible schedule, I have the choice to schedule my days to fit around the needs of your pet(s).
