Pet care experience

Purrfect loving pet sitter, WFH

I’ve had animals since I was born. I love every type of dog/cat/rabbits/guinea pigs/birds. I work from home so I can spend all my time with your fur baby. Have lots of experience with all ages. From young animals to our loving seniors on medications. Worked in the vet field for a few years and pet sitting for over a decade.

Shayla will always be my #1 pet caregiver. My pets are always excited to see her because of how well they get treated by Shayla. Shayla is always making sure my pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care.

Shayla is amazing with my pet children, I trust her completely every time I travel! She takes such great care of my 9 year old pitbull, Honda, and my 4 year old cat, Willow, and I can tell they’re always comfortable and happy with her. She’s super reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely loves animals. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

I am so happy to write a testimonial for the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure of working with - Shayla. I am a very protective bunny mom and will only allow my buns to be watched by someone savvy. Shayla is incredibly knowledgeable, even for special needs buns. She sends tons of update photos, videos, and truly spoils them rotten! More recently, when my roommate adopted a cat, Shayla began watching the buns and a cat. It was so amazing to see how quickly the cat bonded to Shayla. Once again, there was no stress whatsoever for my roommate or I as we traveled, for we knew our babies were in the most caring hands. Shayla goes above and beyond to make sure our home is clean and tidy when we return. Shayla is worth every penny. She doesn’t just watch your pets, she forms deep relationships with them. They’ll be so excited to see their Auntie Shayla when she comes to visit. I cannot recommend Shayla enough and I reach out to her every time I may need pet sitting services.

Shayla is truthfully one of the best caretakers I have ever had for my fur baby. My pup is a spoiled little spit ball and she is so good caring and tending to all his needs. She has cared for Simba for short weekend up to almost two weeks and honestly, she is like his second mom. 10/10 would recommend!

I love stimulation exercises. Are they a foodie? Perfect! So many puzzle toys we can use to keep them occupied. Different routes on our day to day walks with lots of new smells. Social time with other pets (if allowed) but lots of play time!
