Safety, trust & environment

I know each animal is unique in what they need to be happy and healthy, and I follow all instructions to a T to make sure they get the care they need. I also certainly watch for concerning behavior or symptoms that may indicate illness or distress, and will always check in if I think something’s up. I’ll treat your animal like my own!

Information Shaylee R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how best to make your pet comfortable. I’d also like to know how they handle meeting new people and other animals. I’m comfortable watching anxious pets who may require a more careful approach, and would appreciate any help to make interactions go smoothly.

A typical day

I know routine is important for pets, especially when their families are away and they may be feeling anxious. I’m happy to start their day in any order of operations, and ensure they get their needs met. Morning playtime is also important to get out any pent up energy — tug-of-war, fetch, enrichment games, outdoor sniffs and romping. I also love to take dogs to the park, swimming and on hikes.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Shaylee. I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with dogs and bunnies, and took horseback riding lessons as a kid. My family bred several litters of Golden Retrievers, so I’m familiar and comfortable with puppies. I have my own sweet pup, Birdie. She loves to swim, hike and play fetch. I often help out with friends’ pets, and would love to care for others! I’ve cared for reactive dogs in the past, and am open to any additional measures I may need to take to ensure everyone’s comfort. I’m confident in my ability to keep your pet safe and happy.

I highly recommend Shaylee as a pet sitter. She has extensive experience with dogs of all ages, having grown up in a home full of golden retrievers. Shaylee is comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and even multiple dogs at once. She is exceptionally responsible, attentive, and an excellent communicator. Most importantly, Shaylee goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I would not hesitate to trust her with my own dog

Shaylee is a such loving and thoughtful caregiver to animals! She has such an incredible knowledge base about dogs of all ages and abilities with many years of experience. I have trusted Shaylee to care for my dogs while I am traveling and she consistently provides peace of mind that they are loved, safe, and thriving. I cannot recommend her enough! Shaylee truly has the heart of an ideal pet sitter.
