Pet care experience

Walking your bestfriend is an honor

Hi! My name is Shayla, and I’m 29 years old with over 11 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I was a proud dog mom to Max, my senior pup and best friend of 15 years, and I currently have two young pups, Theodore (5) and Karolina (3). They’ve taught me how important patience, structure, play, and affection are for happy pets. I’m a respectful and dependable house guest who treats every home and pet with care. Cleaning up after myself and your pets is always a priority. I work overnight shifts, typically leaving between 9:30–9:40 PM and returning around 8:15–8:30 AM. During the day and evening, I’m home and available for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I always make sure pets are settled and comfortable before I leave and cared for right away when I return. Pet sitting is something I continue to do because I truly love working with dogs and have done so for many years. I offer consistent, reliable care and plan to continue long-term. I’m flexible with pricing and happy to discuss options that work best for you. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your pet!

Took great care of our cats while we were away and was able to modify booking due to last minute changes.

House Sitting • Jan 03, 2022

Shayla was an excellent house sitter when we were away during the holidays. She sent us pictures everyday of our dog, Scout. She was great about communicating and helping the house cleaner in. But even on top of all that, she helped us by playing Santa while we were away -- she put the presents under the tree and candy in a stocking so that our son would see Santa visited while we were away! This brought him a lot of joy. I totally recommend Shayla!
