Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been a huge lover of all animals since day one, even the spiders get “rescued” in my house 😂. I helped my mom look after then neighbor’s dogs and cats all growing up, then as a teen, started watching pets for my friends when they’d leave. Now I get my “pet love” from helping strangers by taking the best care of their precious babies while they’re gone! I have experience caring for dogs (young and old, big and small), cats, birds, bearded dragons, snakes, rats, even sugar gliders! Kind of unrelated, but I also have experience looking after pools if you need me to net up flowers to prevent stains or scrape pool walls for algae bloom

Shelia was wonderful! She was very attentive to my dog and my cat. Always in communication with me. She stayed at my house and treated it as if it was her own. As long as she is available, I will use her every time to look after my pets.

I can't rate Sheliya high enough. My pet loves her so much. My dog gets super excited when she drops in for an unexpected visit and everything feels comfortable and safe with her. Sheliya is my go-to-gal for all things dog !

I wish it was ethical to leave a bad review so my new fabulous dog sitter isn’t always booked. I am the most paranoid annoying dog owner who trust no one and actually enjoyed my trip this time. If you truly want to not be anxious, this is the sitter for you.

Absolutely perfect! kind, gentle, calm, trusting. Our basset is 10 months, never been on vacation, rode for 9 hours, and had anxiety. Sheilya is the best and Burt loved her so much he cried when she left. If you want your pups loved on and cared for I highly recommend Sheilya.

Schedule

I’m a college student living with my mom and only take online classes so I can be at your home with the pets all day everyday if you need, minus the odd grocery trip or two. I’m fit and love going on long walks or run around the yard with your pups just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. If your fur baby likes to sleep on the bed with you, they are welcome to sleep on the bed with me too. But if you have a strict “no furniture” rule with your pets, I will definitely respect that and keep them off the beds and couches. If you’re pets have a set routine they stick to such as “breakfast in the morning at 6am” I will make sure to wake up in time for their scheduled, same for a late routine. Over all, I’m really just excited to give your pets the happiest experience while you’re gone and will pretty much do anything to make sure that they get everything they need to feel loved and cared for till you get back 🥰.
