Pet care experience

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!
