BEST DOG SITTER WITH DOG PARK

I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was 15, as well as grown up with dogs since I was a baby. I am an animal lover at heart and prefer getting fur baby cuddles vs. interacting with people! Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets with bathing, walking, feeding, and dog sitting. I am a very active person who loves being outside, so your fur baby will get lots of activity and sunshine. I’ll make sure to give plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I have a 30ish lb mixed breed who is my whole world, so I love having dogs to have him play and interact with. Farley is great with other dogs. I make sure to treat each dog like it’s my own, with endless love and care.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 28, 2026

Shayna was awesome and so caring of our kiddos while we were traveling and visiting ATX. She was flexible with our pickup and drop off times and really made the trip to ATX a breeze with one less thing to worry about for the day. She’s great at communicating, sending us updates on the kiddos and making sure they were comfortable. Really thankful we were able to find a great sitter. We really recommend Shayna and her services. We hope to come back and use her services again.

Shayna took such good care of my pup and sent updates every day! She was able to watch Mojo VERY last minute due to unforeseen circumstances and was such a life saver. I highly recommend Shayna to look after your fur babies!!!

Shayna was great! She was so excited to see Theo when we arrived which made me feel so comfortable in leaving him. She took Theo for a long walk and sent us the cutest photos. Theo came home well exercised and tired from all the fun he had. We look forward to having Shayna watch Theo again soon!

Shayna was so wonderful!! She sent pics and updated us on how they were doing throughout our trip. Our dogs are pretty needy and have some quirks, but she was great about it and acknowledged all of our requests. Our pups definitely loved staying with shayna!

Schedule

I have a flexible work schedule, where I get to choose the days and times I work. My ideal and typical schedule is Monday-Thursday. The best times for dog sitting for me are after work Thursday (after 5pm) through Sunday. I have the full day open on Friday through Sunday. This enables me to give my full attention to your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park perfect for playing fetch and basking in the sun. I live a short drive away from lady bird lake trail. I will always cater to your dog’s routine like going on walks or playing at the dog park. We also can do a meet and greet to see if our pups get along. Farley loves making new friends and gets along well with other dogs. He loves to chase and wrestle! I let my dog sleep with me and sit on the couch, but I will work with you with whatever you are comfortable with. I am very attentive when watching your fur baby. I always make sure to feed the pups separately to avoid food aggression, and I also monitor how the pups are playing together (showing signs of being territorial with toys, playing too rough, etc). I will make sure to keep you updated with pictures and texts so you know how much fun your pet is having! My priority is to make sure that you are at ease while your pet is in my care.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog is going to have so much fun in my care. I have tons of toys to help stimulate your dog mentally and physically. I love being outside and enjoying the sunshine, so we will go on walks throughout the day with your dog on Lady Bird Lake walking trail or playing fetch in the dog park at my apartment building. Your dog will get endless cuddles and belly rubs.
