Flexible friend to all furry fam
Pet care experience
I'm excited to become a new friend who will love your pet while you're out and give them all the attention they need. I have patience and empathy for all critters and I have a lot of energy so I'm looking forward to having a buddy to go on walks or runs with. I'm mostly interested in dog sitting to learn if I could be a full-time dog parent someday soon, having sat a number of friends' dogs and cats in the past. I live with my partner (who also loves dogs) and my small snake, Plissken, who I have loved for 10+ years - he is kept high up in his own lair. We have a split level apartment/workshop with private access to a back yard - plenty of space for more creatures! We also live close to a number of nice parks and are very near some high-quality pet stores should any needs arise.
Reviews
Shea took great care of our dog while we went away for the first time - she sent regular updates and photos and made sure he felt loved and taken care of while we were gone. We will be booking again!
Shea was incredible! I felt so at ease leaving my dog Bruce with her and I plan on doing it again in the future! I’m always nervous that his high energy and sometimes moody behavior with other dogs will be an issue when staying at someone’s house, but Shea really put those worries to rest and dealt with his wild energy so well. Bruce was well taken care of and well exercised when I picked him up. Can’t wait to drop him off for more fun!
Shea was an amazing dog sitter!! She was super responsive, very flexible, and sent so many pictures! I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days but Shea made it super comfortable. I’ll definitely be using her again next time :)
Shea is an excellent pet parent! We worked together for many years and she is a very caring and conscientious person in general, which I think is ideal for being able to see to pets needs and also make them feel loved. She is also very active and would definitely take the dogs on fun walks, or give them access to her backyard. She has cared for all types of pets, including cats and snakes-- I'm sure she'd be a great dog caregiver.

Information Shea M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how social and how clever your dog is beforehand, for safety reasons. It would also be helpful to know sleep schedule, separation behaviors, and existing training.
A typical day
We'll be exploring Saratoga park, Irving park, and for Highland park for long walks! I'd love a running or fetch buddy if that's your dog's jam, otherwise we will take more meandering trips.

I work from home 10-6 4-5 days a week and love having company in a quiet house, so caring for your cutie will be the best way to make sure I take lots of breaks.
