Pet care experience

Reliable and trustworthy pet sitter

I’ve been around animals my entire life and have grown up with dogs and cats, I also have experience with other animals as well ( such as reptiles and fish, larger animals). I’ve taken care of dogs that range from reactivity to no problems at all, so I guarantee you even in an iffy situation that your animal will remain safe and will be taken care of accordingly to set instructions and nothing less

Shayla did an amazing job with our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a challenge and she managed her wonderfully. We communicated daily and she sent photos of them. We’ve never had to leave our pups for 8 days before and were quite anxious about it. But Shayla was very responsive to our needs and we came home to 2 happy and healthy pups. I would certainly recommend Shayla.

Shayla did a wonderful job with taking care of our dog and our house while we were away. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone which I really appreciated. Our dog seemed very happy and liked Shayla. Our house was spotless when we came home. We felt very comfortable having her here and would recommend her to anyone to take care of their pets.

Shayla took great care of our two dogs and our house while we traveled. She is very sweet, responsive, and kept us updated. The house was spotless when we came home. Would definitely rebook and recommend Shayla!

I needed a dog sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I was thrilled that Shayla was available and willing to help us out. I was 800 miles from home, so she had to coordinate with my husband beforehand. Everything went well, and I will definitely reach out to her again for help.

Schedule

I currently have a pretty open schedule and lots of free time, taking care of pets on limited to open time frame shouldn’t be an issue for me. I often leave to run small errands, but i’m never gone for long periods of time!

Shayla can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know if your dog has any phobias and reactivity issues, and how to administer medication (if any). If your dog has certain boundaries (such as being touched certain places, or resource guarding problems) I have no problem with ‘special’ and needy dogs (and cats!) as long as im aware of any problems or any conditions.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
