Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats and starting independently taking care of them at a very young age. I would walk dogs for neighbors as a child and, as a teenager, I began house and pet sitting - which provided me with the resources to take care of the home while giving my attention to the animal as well.
Reviews
Shea was a wonderful, responsible, communicative house and pet sitter! Daisy, the cockapoo, was happy to see Shea and was clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend Shea!
Shea did a wonderful job house-sitting our almost 2 year-old-pup. She was conscientious and communicative, from her flexibility in finding a time to do a meet-and-greet to sending us daily updates and photos while we were away. It's very clear how much Shea cares about animals and their comfort. Our sensitive dog was at ease with Shea from the first; when we arrived home, our pup was happy, calm, and tired from a weekend of walks and play. Shea left our home absolutely spotless--I would highly recommend her!
Shaw is the best and wil have her watch our pooch anytime!
Both my pup and house were left in great hands with Shea, I would definitely hire her again, very easy to work with and a great attitude.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently a student at UMass Amherst, which means my pet care is provided in my client's home on the majority of occasions. This also means I am built with an extra set of precautions as I have to be aware of my client's safety and trust. I establish this initially by trying to set up meeting times for me to meet with the client and their pet before I will be alone with them, so we can ensure they feel comfortable. I am very aware of my client's space during the time I'm in their space and being raised in the Midwest has left me with a simple value... leave the place cleaner then you found it. However, my main priority is making sure the pet feels a presence in their environment without owners around, letting them target their energy in a healthy way, making sure their food, water, and bathroom times are provided.

Availability
I have pets of my own at home. Any pet owner knows this means they eat at my day even unintentionally... someone needs a walk, someone's litter box needs changing, somebody is rubbing up against me for food - but it's the little joys and reminders of their presence!
