Animal Love ❤️

Pet care experience

It started with my first business venture, at 12 years old, with a dog walking business. It never ended. :) I have worked in shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, as well as adoption clinics. I have rescued numerous animals, and have been trained in the care of many predatory mammals. Canines are generally my favorite to work with. Although I love cats as well. I can also care for snakes, fish, lizards, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters, tarantulas, rats/mice, horses, llamas, alpacas, pigs, chickens and more- while you are away. Please send me a message about these services. I specialize in the care of: Wild/PartWild/partFeral Canines. <Wolf mixes, Coydog mixes, Dingo mixes, Reservation (Rez) dogs, etc> I have worked with ‘aggresive’ Canines that needed to be retrained with positive reinforcement techniques. I am proficient with and enjoy working with: large dogs (Danes,Mastiffs,Newfys and more), Wolf-Dogs/Malamutes/Huskies) and so many others. I would love to come hang with your furry beast! We can run around in the dog parks and can go on hikes and play ball. My pup Panda has Diabetes, so administering meds is what I do. I love working with animals with special needs. And have many references for this as well. **All boarding stays (**currently not taking boarding clients) include a brushing (bath with organic shampoo-at your request - seasonal). A 30 minute canine massage. A bag of homemade dog treats (by us!) - allergies permitting. And a two hour hike in the woods (health permitting). **please see: not currently boarding- •All bookings receive photographs and updates through the visit/stay!! (Sent via text or email, please specify) •Pick up fees are listed, please take note. I love felines and caring for them, I can not board them though-due to household allergies and three dogs. I am in the process of starting a Holistic Healing Sanctuary with community Art Space, workshops, herb/ vegetable growing- And more, that also fosters part wild pups. It is called Wild Ones Sanctuary and all the money I make here through Rover will be going directly to the start up and opening of Wild Ones (searchable on FB and IG). We appreciate your business immensely! Watching and working with your pup(s) helps me gain the knowledge I need to further my studies; help the sanctuary grow, and I thank you sincerely for that.

Shyla.. this gal is so full of life and love. She is one that won’t flinch when it comes to flexing her heart or sweet nature. She is excellent with animals. Not just her own either. I think she like myself gets kinda bubbly and engaged with four legged creatures. If you are considering a pet sitter, walker, or house sitter, I can assure that you will be in good hands. I wish she lived closer as i would recommend her to my considerable client base.

Where do I begin, She is truly wonderful when it comes to her taking care of her own pets, and if she came to see me she would always bring her dogs, she loves them so much ! Her dogs that she has are so wonderful with people, they are very well mannered because of all the time and effort that she takes with them. The love that she has for animals is unconditional, there is so much love and time that she gives them. And they all just love her so much ! She is truly amazing with all animals always.

Information Shyla C. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know all the things that bring your pup (and you!) happiness. Favorite games, treats, toys, etc. Their favorite places, leash/off leash trained. Any aggressive behaviors, bite history (neither will deter me, but I do need to know so that I may plan activities accordinly.) Any allergies, irritations (physical or psychological). Any quirks, triggers, bad habits or things to watch for/work with. I have no breed preferences. Only behavior preferences. :) Please send me a message; we can set up a meet and greet to assess our options. I am extremely flexible and can work with ‘difficult’ / special cases to the best of my ability.

A typical day

We will surely adventure in every way we can find! Hiking, Walking, Running, Fetching, Training, Loving, Swimming, River/Snow playing, Fireside lounging, Belly rubs, and more!
