Drop-In Visits • Aug 09, 2026

Shyla was very reliable stopping in to care for my 6 cats. I didn't worry at all, except that 4 of them wouldn't come out of hiding when she came! That's not unusual, though. She left the house clean and in order. Everything was done properly. She was good at communicating with me and sent some cute pictures. I am so happy I found her and have another trip coming up, so I hope she is available! Shyla, please let me know if there is anything that would make your visits easier or if you have any suggestions for me. Thank you!

Chili was more then spoiled. I would describe his stay as "Hollywood" style. Shyla was great a communicating and my daughter realized the comfort she provided to her Autism comfort dog.

Shyla is the best! So attentive and knowledgeable about cats. She kept us informed about any behavior she felt might be out of the ordinary, and sent photos and videos periodically so that we could see how he was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Calvin- We knew he was in good hands!

Shyla has been dependable, professional, and incredibly kind. It’s clear that caring for animals isn’t just something she does — it’s something she truly loves. She treats every pet as if they were her own, paying close attention to their routines, comfort, and unique personalities. 🐾 Highly trusted. Highly recommended. 🐾

I met Shyla years ago through work, getting to know her during this time. I have realized how big of an animal lover she is how caring and loving and how she literally is saving animals daily. I found out she works with many rescue shelters and has many rescues at home to help foster out. So I had her come over to meet my very picky cat gizmo, who don't really like people, I wanted to see if she would be okay with Shyla taking care of her while we went on a 2 week vacation. I believe gizmo sensed her kindness right away.Because Shila was able to pet her and give her treats which she don't let anybody but us do it went great.She took care of gizmo that first vacation and for the others over the past 3 years, I would highly recommend her for a fur baby sitting for anyone who is in need.If gizmo approved of her , I can guarantee any for baby will!

Shyla has 4 dogs and 3 cats and she fosters animals at her home also. She is the only one I would trust with my animal. Not only do I now they are taking care of but also they would get physical exercise, cuddles love and treats.

A typical day

I love training dogs, from basic commands to a some that are a little more challenging. This helps stimulate them mentally and sometimes physically. Playing outside with a ball or a stick is something I love to do with animals, or just a basic walk.
