Stetson had so much fun at Shayla’s house! She is great with communication and you can tell she loves animals!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience with Shyla watching our dog, Jax! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of him and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She took him on a walk, kept us updated throughout her time with him, and sent us pictures, which we absolutely loved! It was so nice knowing Jax was happy, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. Shyla was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, and her price was also very reasonable. We would absolutely recommend Shyla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter/ walker. We will definitely be using her more. We already have her booked for boarding in September which I am completely at ease about since she has been fantastic this far!
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. 🐾

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a portion of the property that is far from the road and boxed in by trees. My dogs are friendly and love to run around and play.
Pets
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.

- Special needs, medications that need to be given, and attitudes towards meeting new people are all things that can help me safely and slowly gain trust with your animal.
