Let me give you ☮️ of mind 🐶🐈⬛🏡
A little about myself: I’ve had a special love for animals since I was a child. I remember my best friend and I used to daydream about rescuing animals from the streets….well, that sort of came true. I’ve come across a squirrel that fell out of a tree with spinal injury that I rushed to an animal hospital where unfortunately had to be euthanized, same with several opossums that got hit by cars, even a pigeon that was dazed and confused on an underpass. Picked it up and rushed to an animal hospital where awaiting a rehabber. When I see an animal in need I literally can’t help myself and just spring into action. My senior dog, Pebbles was the puppy from a dog I rescued off the street. Didn’t even know she was pregnant till she started giving birth. Her mother died shortly after giving birth from heart failure. She’s now a senior and diabetic who gets 2 insulin shots a day. So I am able to do the same for your diabetic pet if necessary. I am also comfortable giving subcutaneous fluids to dogs and cats…as long as they are comfortable with me.😅 My cat Raine, was a young neighborhood cat who I saw one night outside my house, I spoke to her, as you do, and she walked up to me with no tail, and broken 'wrist' and the sweetest meows I ever heard. I went to get food which she inhaled and that was it, she was mine. She didn’t give me much choice. She meowed outside my door until I made a deal with her. I told her I’d let her in, if she let me give her a bath. I prepared the bath, went to get her and slowly eased her in…and she purred the whole time. PURRED. She has been my sweet little Rainecloud ever since. My cat Sierra and my other dog, Zoe passed away last year. 💔💔 I know when I travel, the most stressful part is who’s going to watch my babies? Having that peace of mind that not only will they have their basic needs met, but that someone will play with and cuddle them and know that it will be a stressful time for them to have their people away for extended periods of time. Whether the are staying with me or me with them, I will respect your privacy and care for you furry family members, as I do my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I take my dog on daily car rides to open, but away from traffic areas to run around and get her sniffs in. I can do they same for your dogs, but we can discuss what you prefer and of course what types of activities suit your dogs personality. But if boarding or day care, I can walk to a nearby park or neighborhood, many times…and can do several quick tinkles near the house in between walks for younger or older dogs if necessary.
Ratings and reviews
It’s clear that Shiela loves animals. She took great care of our young dog who had never been overnight without us before. She also went above and beyond to take care of our pet caterpillar, water our plants, and she kept the house tidy. She was a great communicator and I felt confident that Maisie was in good hands. Thank you, Shiela!
Great service. Would book again!
Sheila did a great job. My home was left in perfect order and most importantly, Abby was well taken care of. When I returned she was happy and healthy. Abby is an older dog with health issues, so I am always concerned that medications will be overlooked or health issues will crop up and be missed. I would not hesitate to recommed or rebook Sheila.
Very punctual and timely communication.
Shiela did a wonderful job caring for our cats while we were away. Our two cats have been experiencing some tension for the past several months- Shiela did a great job giving them their anxiety supplement during every visit. She also groomed them, played with them and gave them treats. Prior to the cat visits, she also suggested purchasing Feliway spray for our cats, which our cats seemed to like, and she sprayed it during visits as well. Thank you Shiela! 🐱
We trust Shiela completely with our two cats - she has done drop-in visits for us twice now and our kitties are always fed, loved and taken care of well. I really appreciate that she makes the effort to engage with our pets - our shy one even came out of hiding for her.

Schedule
As I mentioned before, I work from home, so my schedule is pretty open. Also my retired mother now lives with me and she’s as big of an animal lover as me. She and my dog are obsessed with each other, so she’ll help me too…and love doing it.
