Highlights
Pet care experience
A peace of mind for cat parents :)
Hi! I’m Shinelle, and I’ve cared for a family member’s cat for about a year. I cleaned the litter box, fed her on time, and kept her entertained. I offer a safe, cozy boarding experience for your cat right here on Linwood Ave in Melrose. I do not have any cats or other pets of my own. This means your kitty will have my entire space all to themselves! No other animals will stress them out, making my home the perfect peaceful getaway while you are away. My home is completely cat-friendly. I have a large window with a wonderful view of the yard and the outdoors—perfect for your cat to sit by and enjoy some "Cat TV" during the day! I love spending time with cats and adapting to their unique personalities.
Ratings and reviews
Shinelle is awesome! I trust her 100% with my cats and they love her. She pays attention to them and cares highly for them. She will offer to brush my cats and its very thoughtful. Highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
I wholeheartedly recommend Shinelle as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has a natural talent for understanding and caring for animals, and her honesty and patience truly set her apart. When she took care of my cat Mia, I could see how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them with the utmost kindness and respect. Shinelle’s attentiveness and gentle approach made Mia feel safe and comfortable, which is a testament to her caring nature. It was clear that she is someone who not only knows how to care for pets but also genuinely enjoys doing so, making her an ideal caregiver for any animal. What impresses me most about Shinelle is her intelligence and dedication to her role. She is always attentive to the needs of the animals she cares for and goes above and beyond to ensure their happiness and well-being. Mia responded to her with affection and trust, which speaks volumes about the bond Shinelle creates with animals. Her loving attitude, combined with her honesty and patience, makes her someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I specialize in in-home cat boarding. I create a peaceful getaway where your cat gets my full attention. Since I do not have any pets of my own, your kitty will have total freedom to roam, lounge on the furniture, and explore my space without the stress of meeting other animals. I'll feed your cat, provide fresh water, and scoop the litter box on your cat's normal schedule to keep them comfortable. The 'Cat TV' Window: Giving your cat access to my large window with a wonderful view of the yard, which is perfect for bird-watching and sunbathing.
A typical day
Play & Love: Dedicating focused time to feather wands, laser pointers, or just quiet companionship and chin scratches on the couch, depending on their personality. Daily Updates: Sending you consistent text updates and cute photos so you can see exactly how they are settling in.
- CatsTakes only 1 client at a timeShinelle can host up to 1 pet per night
- Let me know how much food they need to get, and their normal feeding times so I can match their home routine. If they have any specific habits helps me keep their bathroom area clean and comfortable. I need to know about any allergies and health conditions. I will also ask for your veterinarian's information and an emergency contact just in case.
