Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog and cat advocate!
I have volunteered at animal shelters in WA and worked alongside animal behavioralists to read canine and feline body language to gauge interests, anxiety, and pain levels. I love being able to help my client’s animals reach relaxation without being over stimulated. I’m versed in enrichment activities that alleviate stress and help the animals reconnect with their playful, trusting side! I love to make animals feel like they have a new trusted friend while their pet parents are away and to provide care that makes their owners feel like they're with family.

Safety, trust & environment
I have had animals all my life of various breeds, ages, temperament, and unique needs. I have knowledge and experience through my animal shelter work on what silent pain signals or distress can look like in dogs and cats. I've administered medications before but would prefer to let the animal get to know me before providing injections. My preference is to have a meet and greet with your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled outing so they may acclimate to me and to have a brief in-person discussion to go over the scope of the service you wish to see.
Ratings and reviews
Shay was absolutely amazing! Not only did she take wonderful care of my dog and cat, but she also stayed in touch and sent pictures so I always knew how they were doing. My normally shy cat absolutely adored her.
Shay was terrific! Blue was a happy dawg ;).
Shayleen was awesome with my dog and cats! She was professional and responsive and you can tell she loves animals like they're her own! Highly recommend!
Shay was soooo kind and throughtful with Koby and he clearly loved her from day 1. Thanks Shay!!
Shay took great care of our kitties! She was very responsive and sent lots of fun photos & updates. Our very shy cat even felt comfortable enough to come say hi a few times, which was amazing!
Just fabulous with our dogs!

Schedule
(Disclaimer: I have a full time job working graveyard. Please keep this in consideration if you're looking to book in-home overnight pet-sitting. Thank you! Feel free to message me questions.) I live near Hanover and have reliable transportation. I have no conflicting agenda items or holidays in the near future. I do gig work to help support my best friend going to Dartmouth and have a flexible, open schedule. I try my best to plan outings with pets when the weather is best for their paws and especially if the dog is a breed prone to heat or breathing issues.

- Please let me know if your dog has an allergies, behavioral tendencies (aggression, fear, separation anxiety), or any medical conditions that I should be aware of. I want to ensure your pet is receiving the most love and care when you book me. I try to style my appointments by individual, such as walking times, play style, enrichment activities, and avoiding any unnecessary triggers for more wary animals. You can also tell me their favorite things, too! :) I love positive information as it's just as important as the limitations and capacity.
