Active & Cuddly Home Away From Home

Pets have always been a big part of my life. Dogs are deeply important to me as I see them for the intelligent emotional beings they are. They deserve all the love, attention, and nourishment from us and that is what I strive to provide. You can be assured that your pet will be treated positively and cared for preciously.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 29, 2026

Shekeyla took wonderful care of our dog, Lucca, while we were away. It was obvious Lucca was comfortable and well cared for, and we really appreciated receiving a photo during the stay. Shekeyla was dependable, kind, and made the whole experience worry-free. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Shekeyla was amazing. She communicated with us for every drop-in visit, along with pictures and how each of our pets responded to her. She gave us peace of mind that our girls were well taken of!

House Sitting • Apr 28, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Shekeyla was warm, professional, thoughtful, detail-oriented and brought such calm, positive energy from the moment we met her. Our 17-year-old dog has kidney disease and requires medication, so leaving her isn’t something we take lightly – but we felt completely comfortable and confident in her care. Shekeyla kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant a lot. One of our favorites was a picture of the two of them snuggled up together – something our dog doesn’t even do with us anymore! At this stage in her life, we’re mostly just food providers and chauffeurs to the Jersey Mike’s parking lot for her favorite pastime: scouting for snacks. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and relaxed when we returned. We highly recommend Shekeyla and will absolutely be using her again!

Boarding • Apr 23, 2026

Shekeyla and her family loved our two pups while we were away on vacation, they showed amazing care and attention to them, walking, feeding, sleeping arrangements, all day attention. We received photos and videos and updates daily. You couldn't ask for more from one of the top rated rover sitters in our area. We were very grateful and would 100% book again. 🐶 🐶

Schedule

Every pet in my care is treated with love like my very own fur baby. I enjoy learning about every animal's personality and quirks. I have house-trained multiple puppies. I have cared for my senior rescue pet, PearlJam, who had medical concerns for over 4 years (deaf, vision loss, lung diseases). I currently have a 5yr old Golden-doodle, Pretzel, who loves making new friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home and I am generally available all day to be with pets. I enjoy daily walks and/or jogs with a pet that benefits from the activity. For the lovey-dovey pets, they are most welcome to accompany me right on my lap or in a cozy bed next to my desk as I work.

Pets

A typical day

Every animal has their own needs and I adhere to that. Energetic dogs will get the physical activity they need with outside walks/jogs and play. Pups with calmer spirits will get all the cuddle time they can manage.
