Pet care experience

Putting your pet’s needs first

I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they can sense that. Many pets warm up to me quickly, and I think it’s because I approach them with patience, calm energy, and respect for their space. I make an effort to create familiarity—especially in their own homes—so they feel safe and comfortable. Building trust with each pet is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy.

Shayna was amazing! She stayed with our two dogs for a little over a week, one of which is a bit of a nut, and they were so happy and calm and well-cared for. Shayna was communicative, friendly, professional, and respectful, and we came home to a clean house and happy pups. We would book her again in a heartbeat!

Shayna was great and took excellent care of our furball. She was prompt and quick with responses leading up to and during the service. It was our first time using Rover and she made it easy and straightforward for us.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently work part-time in a hybrid role while completing my master’s in public health. I’m typically in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with hours varying depending on meetings. Outside of that, I’m home and able to provide structured care, regular outdoor time, and engagement. I’m intentional about scheduling to make sure pets receive dependable, consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care based on each pet’s usual routine and needs. I aim to maintain a consistent routine with regular outdoor time, play, feeding schedules, and structured downtime to help pets feel comfortable and settled. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established household routines as closely as possible.

Pets

A typical day

Your pet’s day will include outdoor time, play with their favorite toys, plenty of affection, and a consistent routine. I balance fun and engagement with calm downtime to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and at ease.
