I’m currently working part-time, and my husband is ALWAYS home. We have plenty of time for your furbabies and there are always plenty of hands (and paws) on deck in my home to keep your precious babies feeling loved and entertained in your absence. I’m also happy to come to your home and provide the best care possible to keep your pets feeling safe comfortable until you return.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fully fenced, and I have two friendly and energetic Siberian huskies to keep your dog(s) very busy! Happy to work on training if needed (including kennel training), provide enrichment toys/games, quiet time, cuddles… the whole nine yards. We also have 3 cats (our huskies are VERY cat friendly!) so kitty parents, you’re not lost, your babies are also welcome here! Our spare room/office in our home can be utilized for kitties who aren’t so keen on dogs/other cats and will want a quiet space of their own! I’m happy to administer medications, follow dietary needs/restrictions, and keep your pets on their regular schedule to avoid any additional stress to them.

Information Shayla S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any dietary restrictions, or specific behaviours that need minding. Are there any medications or supplements your pet regularly receives? Do they prefer to eat from a specific bowl or plate? Let me know a fun or quirky fact about your baby!

A typical day

I believe mental enrichment is just as important, if not more-so than physical enrichment and I love to implement enrichment toys, puzzles, games and training into my days with my own pets and am happy to do the same with yours. Let me know what your pets typical day looks like so I can keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for them!

Very grateful to Shayla for taking such great care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was very communicative and she's very kind with pets. Would definitely recommend her services. Thank you!

Shayla came by to meet my dogs well before my trip away! I was super nervous as I was headed out for a week and using a new sitter for the first time. Shayla is super responsive and timely when I messaged her and she provided photos and updates on my furballs daily.
