Pet care experience

Just trying to be the dog park fav

Graduate of FSU, I work as a Licensed Therapist in Tampa! I work part-time from home, and part-time in Hyde Park. I make my own schedule, so my availability is highly flexible. Just let me know your needs and we can begin to curate from there! I've cared for family/friends furry loved ones for years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and will genuinely treat your 4 legged family member like my own! I live in a spacious two bedroom two bath Apartment with a large dog park! I love taking my fur baby for walks and play time at the park; if your dog is friendly with other furry friends, I could do this for you as well!

House Sitting • oct. 24, 2025

Shea was so wonderful with our energetic pups! They immediately loved her during our initial meet-and-greet and we could tell they were happy and well cared for during our time away. Shea was communicative, sent pictures, gave the girls plenty of outside time, and even went above and beyond to fix an issue with our house while we were out of town. We will absolutely reach out to Shea in the future and highly recommend her!

Shea was fantastic with my puppy Murray. She made sure to keep me updated throughout her stay and sent me pictures throughout the day.

Shea was wonderful, she watched my dog in my house and took good care of the house and my dog. She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!

Shea did a great job dog sitting my 11 week old puppy Franklin. She accepted my request last minute when my other dog sitter cancelled unexpectedly. She sent regular updates with photos throughout the night. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Drop-In Visits • juil. 29, 2024

Cats had no water when I got home and it was clear they hadn’t for some time by how long they drank when I refilled it. Visits were <10 mins per my ring camera. Not super reliable and don’t recommend!

Pets

A typical day

As a girl who is an avid Walker, rest assured your dog will get plenty of steps in! I enjoy fenced in backyards for the opportunity of running around with your dog in an environment that feels best for them! Happy to take your dog to a dog park as well. Cats are all different, so I always ask owners prior to my visit what their fur babies favorite toys/activities are!
