Highlights
Pet care experience
🐶 Dog Trainer and Sitter 🐾
Hello! My name is Shayna — thank you for considering me to care for your pet! :) I’ve worked with animals my entire life and have spent the last seven years focused exclusively on dog training. I previously worked at a board-and-train facility where I led both behavioral and obedience programs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with reactivity or anxiety. I’m confident handling reactive dogs, and my own dogs are trained to calmly walk away from conflict. If your dog needs extra time to feel comfortable, I do slow, structured introductions over the first couple of days. You’ll receive daily photos and videos, and your dog will be treated like part of the family. My dogs get along well with dogs big and small. Small dogs often enjoy walking alongside one of my calm, larger dogs for extra confidence.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nova had a great time with Shayna and her dogs. We really appreciate the communication and daily photos/videos. Shayna is really knowledgeable about dog behavior which made us feel comfortable leaving our new puppy with her. During her time with Shayna’s dogs Nova became more socialized with dogs including big dogs which use to intimidate her. We would definitely use Shayna again next time we need a dog sitter.
Shayna did a wonderful job taking care of Maru and was so patient given my dog’s high fear and anxiety with strangers. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great pointers. She also sent us a ton of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which helped ease our anxiety!
Shayna was amazing! Not only was she able to watch our puppy and give her all the love and snuggles, she helped us lay the foundation for training our doggy, establishing healthy routines, habits and groundwork to improve our dogs separation anxiety. Throughout our whole week trip away she was extremely communicative and sent many many pictures of our little puppers the whole time without fail. Definitely recommend any and all dog owners to book with Shayna, we know we’ll most certainly be booking with her again for any and all other services we may want in the future!
Shayna’s knowledge of dogs really stood out. She understood my anxious guy right away, and I felt very comfortable trusting her with his care (:
I have to say Shayna’s love of animals is a beautiful thing. She is a wonderful caregiver , our fur baby is very nervous around other dogs and people and she absolutely loved Shayna. I would definitely recommend Shayna she’s a 5 star and above.
Always appreciate Shayna watching over Isaac. Pick up and drop off was quick and easy and she always keeps us up to date with pictures.

Schedule
I work from home, so your pet will have consistent company and supervision throughout the day. They'll get regular walks and plenty of playtime, so your pet feels comfortable and cared for all day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced with brick walls, and all outdoor time is supervised. I also have crates in several sizes on hand to ensure each dog has a safe, comfortable space if needed.
Pets
A typical day
Each day includes peaceful neighborhood walks, backyard fetch, and fun training sessions with treats and toys. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level, and many go home having learned something new, including better leash manners.
