Pet care experience

🐾 Full Time Animal Lover 🐾

I’m a full time professional pet sitter and companion who has taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have many years of experience with a variety of dog breeds, puppies, seniors and dogs with high anxiety. I love caring for dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, as well as small animals like Guinea Pigs, rabbits, pot-belly pigs and fish. I can do drop in visits or walks anytime during the week and will be available most weekends. I will care for your fur babies with the same love and attention I give to my own. I will make sure they have clean food and water, plenty of cuddles, play time and send you photos of our adventures together! I always make sure their habitat/kennel/area is clean and safe before ending our visit. A safe, loved and well cared for pet is a happy pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Trustworthiness involves four major qualities: integrity, honesty, promise-keeping, and loyalty. Earning and keeping your trust is a very important core value of mine. When I am in your home and taking care of your furry family member, you can rest assured I will be acting as an extension of you. Making sure your pets are safe, cared for, their belongings placed back where I found them and your home locked up tight when I leave is important to me. I care for your space as if it were my own. Bonus Services: As an experienced plant mom to over 80 different indoor plants, I also offer watering, checking humidifiers and/or adjusting and turning on grow lights during my visits (by request). I always bring in any packages delivered to your door while I am there as well as your mail if you’re away for an extended period of time. Should you ever have any questions, requests or comments for me, don’t hesitate to reach out or ask!

Shayla was amazing! As a first time pet parent and first time Rover user, this couldn’t have gone better. Shayla was communicative and I felt my kitties were in safe hands. She sent the best photos during her check-ins which always brightened my day. I will definitely be using Shayla for all future pet visits.

Let me know if your fur baby has any special needs, takes medicine or sensitivities . Please also let me know what makes your pet happiest! My goal is to give your furry family excellent care, an excellent experience and you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands!
