Pet care experience

Looking for a walking buddy :)

I have owned dogs my whole life, cats since I was 10 years old, as well as worked as a vet assistant for 3 years and managed a humane society for 2, in that time I have learned a lot about care for furry friends and how to keep them happy and healthy. I love going on walks and being active, and I’m excited to share that energy with a dog who needs some company. My apartment doesn’t let me have a dog right now, so I’m looking forward to spending time with pups who need love, attention, and fun walks. I am open to pet sitting and drop in visits as well but cannot do boarding unfortunately at the moment.

House Sitting • May 19, 2026

This was my first time booking with Shay and I will absolutely use her again. I came home to a very calm and happy dog - proof that he was well cared for and loved during my absence. Shay reached out when she had questions and was also very flexible with changes to Steve's schedule. I am sure Steve misses her dearly! Hope to use her again in the future. I highly recommend!

Shaylen was great with Murphy! He got the exercise he needed and good company. She was quick to reply and communicated clearly. Definitely rebooking her again!

Shaylen is a true lover of animals of all kinds. She is kind, caring and patient and loves her animal friends. Shaylen is one of those people who the dogs love as she truly connects with them and she shows love and compassion. Shaylen is someone I would trust my pet with wholeheartedly. She is responsible and trustworthy. I will be having Shay pet sit for me soon and I feel confident and comfortable going on holiday knowing she will be caring for my dog. I highly recommend Shaylen to care for anyone’s pets.

Schedule

I am currently working a rotating evening schedule, but my shifts do not start until 3pm so I am available on all days before 3 or any time on my days off.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat at home that I do my best to ensure he has the best care that he deserves. I am grateful for the education I received while working as a vet assistant on how to provide the best care for my animals that I would of course have that same mentality towards the care of other animals in my care. I ensure my cat is exercised regularly and stimulated mentally throughout the day to keep him in a good mood and keep his eating area and litter box as clean as possible.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pups active, happy, and comfortable. A typical day with me might include a long walk or two, some playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and personality whether that’s a slow stroll, a fun game of fetch, or just relaxing together. I also make sure they’re well fed, hydrated, and safe, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or instructions you have.

It’s really helpful for me to know about your dog’s personality, likes and dislikes, energy level, and any health concerns or special routines. Knowing if they have anxiety or reactivity towards certain things, need medication, or have specific play or walk preferences helps me make sure they feel comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
