I will come to your home and care for your pup. For overnight stays at clients home as well as drop ins I will also provide training, if desired, for an add’l fee. I have references.

Information Shayne D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, favorite toy or treat as well as any medical conditions, fears, idiosyncrasies, or needs medications. If you’d like some training, let’s discuss where your dog’s knowledge level is and what I can do to help.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically & mentally. We will play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood or yours & explore. I will train your dog, if desired.

Shayne was an absolute lifesaver for us!! She came over and walked our dogs three different times on the weekend. We loved the communication she sent and the pictures!! Because of her we were able to enjoy a very special family wedding. Words can’t express how much our heart appreciated her time!!

Thanks for loving Meeko! The pictures and detailed reports made leaving her behind a little easier. It was obvious in your extra cuddles, walks, and treats how much you love dogs. You will hear from us again! :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
