Pet care experience

Care as if They’re My Own!

Just a gal who loves dogs and works from home 🐾 I lost my German Shepherd about a year ago, and while nothing could ever replace him, I’ve found so much joy in caring for other people’s babies and getting to know all the different breeds and personalities out there. Your pup will be safe, loved, spoiled with attention, and treated like family in my care. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel right at home 🤍

Shyla was absolutely wonderful with Wally! She was incredibly responsive and always replied very quickly to our messages. She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Wally was a little nervous being in a new environment and wasn’t eating, but Shyla was so patient and caring. She tried several different things to encourage him to eat and clearly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She was also very accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything incredibly easy for us. We could tell that Wally was in great hands, and we would absolutely trust Shyla to watch him again. Highly recommend her!

Shyla was amazing with my two pups! She sent multiple photo updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear how sweet and attentive she was with them. I could tell they were in great hands the whole time. Would highly recommend her!

I’ve known Shyla for many years now and have always known her to be the most caring and loving to not just dogs but all animals. She would no doubt take care of any pet with all her heart and responsibility. She would be a responsible and loving pet caregiver to any dog and any personality that comes with it. She’s had many dogs of her own as well as fostered many throughout the years which has equipped her to know and understand dog cues and emotions. I would trust her with my dogs and would feel safe knowing they are in her care. I know she will be an excellent caretaker to any pet she gets the opportunity of meeting!
