Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a two-story townhome with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. We have a spacious, unused bathroom for overnight use and two office rooms that are useful for separating during meal times or for introducing pets slowly.

Information Shayla M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any safety considerations and personal preferences to ensure the best care, such as any anxiety triggers or if any situations might make them feel uncomfortable or nervous.

A typical day

I like to build trust and create a calm presence with introductions. Listening to the needs of each pet is key. Some animals are playful and energetic, and others are more timid. I will provide a consistent routine with a little variety as a nice surprise.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a happy mama to 1 toddler and 3 fur babies. During the week, I work full-time as a nurse. I enjoy pet-sitting with Rover as a fun hobby on the weekends. Caring for people and animals is my passion. I hope to care for your pets as I've cared for mine. Please reach out for availability by messaging! Safety is a top priority. We can chat more about specific security needs (i.e. hidden keys, door code, picking up keys). Please let me know how I can make you and your pets feel more comfortable. Over the time I've been working with Rover, I have experience with the following... -Dog breeds: Labrador Retriever, American Bulldog, Boxer, French Bulldog, Toy Poodle, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Mixed Breeds and more. Weight 10 lb - 70 lb dogs. -Cat breeds: Domestic Shorthair, Domestic Long Hair Asian Tabby, Russian Blue, Munchkin and more. I will be polite and give space to your shy cats also! -Cares: nail-trimming, eye cleaning, ear cleaning, baths, basic grooming, walking, litter box cleaning, oral medication administration, eye medication administration

Shayla was wonderful! This ended up being a last minute trip we took and Shayla took the time to even squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. The check-ins and details updates were great and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Harvey was in good hands. We will be rebooking again - Thank you Shayla!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
