🐾 Spoiling Pets Since Day One

Hey there! My name is Shayla, and I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2012, including working closely with celebrity clients and their beloved animals — many of whom required special attention, medical care, patience, and individualized routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but with the comfort and safety of your home I provide loving, reliable pet care with a calm and attentive approach, and I’m happy to accommodate unique schedules, routines, medications, and special requests. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer dog walking, overnight care, house sitting, and companionship visits. ✨ What sets me apart: I create a safe, low-stress, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and cared for like family. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior pets needing gentle patience and support. 🐾 Special experience with: ✔︎ Senior pets & puppies ✔︎ Special-needs and disabled pets ✔︎ Administering medicine ✔︎ Anxiety-prone pets & separation anxiety ✔︎ Maintaining routines for comfort and stability ✔︎ Providing attentive, one-on-one care I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I genuinely love taking the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also really love photography and sending you videos/photos throughout the day!

Shayla was amazing. It was my first time leaving Luma and Shalya made my vacation stress free. She made sure to go above and beyond and sent the cutest photos every visit. I will most definitely be booking Shayla again!

Shayla was great with our boys! We had to go out of town last minute, and Shayla was on top of all of their needs. We have a younger dog that she kept up with his training, and our older dog has a schedule for medications. She didn't have a problem keeping up with them and making sure they got plenty of exercise. Thank you Shay!

Shayla is truly one of the best pet caregivers I know. She has cared for my special-needs cats personally, including administering medication and giving shots with such confidence, care, and compassion. As a pet owner, that level of trust means everything to me. I’ve also seen Shayla care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and she is incredible with them. Whether it’s daily care, administering medications, taking pets to vet visits, or making sure every animal gets the attention and support they need, she goes above and beyond. What really makes Shayla stand out is her natural connection with animals. Pets genuinely trust her, and she understands their behaviors, needs, and personalities on a deeper level. She’s knowledgeable, professional, patient, and incredibly smart when it comes to proper pet care. She even has training experience with both dogs and cats, which is such a huge bonus. I always feel completely at ease when Shayla is watching my pets because I know they are in loving, capable hands. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Shayla care for their furry family members!

I swear my dog loves Shayla more than he loves me. She’s the absolute best sitter, I’m so lucky to have found her! She follows all of the (admittedly tedious) instructions I leave for my needy senior boy to a T and makes sure he feels so loved while I’m away. She updates me with photos of the two of them during their days together too, I love getting to see my chunky man still getting his snuggles in.

Shayla is the only person I trust to take care of my kitties when I’m out of town! She cares for them as if they were her own and they LOVE her too, which is the truest test because they hide from everyone. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Shayla is one of the most caring people I've ever met! Her love for animals knows no bounds and she will always make sure the needs of the animals are taken care of. I've seen firsthand the love and care she provides animals. She will go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy.
