Information Shayla W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs, like anxiety, or if they take daily medications, or has any specific instructions for care.

A typical day

Pet in my care will enjoy off leash play in my big backyard and long walks to the park. If they like fetch I love to see how far I can throw the ball for them. I also run from time to time to keep in shape. There’s also plenty of quiet places for naps for our senior dogs.

Pet care experience

Hi, I am a stay at home mom of two teenage children and we all love dogs. I also love walks. I try to walk about 10,000 steps a day. Your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention from me. I have taken several lessons and online courses on dog training. I also am very patient. I know your pet is a family member to you and I will treat him as such. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting your pet!

Shayla was fantastic! Daily updates to let me know how my pup was doing gave me peace of mind while away. She was also flexible with times and very responsive via text.

I can’t recommend our dog sitter enough! From the first meet-and-greet, they were warm, professional, and clearly experienced. My dog can be a little anxious when I’m away, but she kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. She followed my care instructions perfectly, and when I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly great with your pet, this is the sitter you want. Will definitely be booking again!

Shayla was very good with my baby juju. This was the first time using Shayla as his orginal sitter wasn't able to watch juju as we had a family vacation. Shayla came through and we were very happy with her service. Shayla communications was excellent and sent pics everyday to ensure us he was in good hands. We will be definitely using her services again.
