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!

Shayla was fantastic. She walked our dog while we were away on vacation and she was dog's best friend that week. My dog is reactive to other dogs and Shayla handled that perfectly. We would definitely rebook in the future.

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

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I take care of dogs as if they were my own and I try to keep the pup on their routine as much as possible!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I try to make a connection with the pup or cat such as play time and treats. Going on walks and ensuring that the dog is comfortable while giving updates to the owners.

Pets

A typical day

If the owner wants me to walk their dog(s), I will take them wherever they are comfortable with me going. Whether that is around the yard, around the block, or to a park!
