Pet care experience

Lots of love for your pup!

Hi! I have 30+ years experience working with many rescued dogs and would love to care for yours. We have a large fenced yard for your dog to play in and live close to two dog parks for long walks by a stream. Your dog will get so much love and attention that it will feel like a mini vacation staying with us! When you book with me you can relax and focus on what you need to, knowing your dog is being cared for like one of my own children. I use a lot of positive reinforcement, but can be firm if needed. Dogs are allowed to roam our home, cuddle on beds so they feel right at home. We also have a dog door for smaller dogs to make those transitions very easy and I will help you pup get comfortable using it. I typically book only 1-3 dogs at a time and if you need help with training we can discuss that. We look forward to meeting your special friend.

canceled after I dropped him off. Told me to pick him up immediately. 2 hours before we had to catch a flight!!! Thankfully a past sitter we have used was available and Justice did great with multiple other dogs contrary to her opinion. My advise is to do a meet and greet especially if your dog is a barker, jumper and isn’t perfectly behaved. The stay was booked well in advance to make that happen all she had to do was communicate that. Thankfully I was able to get a full refund after some back and forth because yes I was charged cancellation fee and a full day originally for less than 1 hour.

Shayla and her family were wonderful. They were very welcoming of Rocco and kept me informed as to his daily activities. Friendly and communicative I would recommend her without qualification.

Shayla took excellent care of our 2 corgis! She helped us out on short notice and was exceptionally kind and thoughtful. Her home was gorgeous and the backyard was perfect for our dogs to run and play! Would absolutely recommend her services.

Thank you Shayla for hosting Juliet this weekend! She absolutely loved her time playing with other dogs and all of her trips to the park!

Shayla is fantastic! I liked how she took the time to thoughtfully meet my dog along with my boyfriend and me before committing to care. Shayla was considering everything including how my dogs temperament would go with the current dogs in her care. I appreciate how she does a lot of different activities with my dog and treats her as if she is a part of the family. I would recommend Shayla if you need any dog care services.
