Former Dog Groomer

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Shylah and I am a former dog groomer now turned a work-from-home Medical Coder! I was in the doggy industry for around 15 years. I started in 2008 learning how to groom pets and did that full-time for 8 years! I have worked at big pet retailers, vet clinics, and private boarding facilities. I have experience with all breeds and love meeting new pets! I have been caring for pets since I can remember. I absolutely adore dogs and will treat your kiddo like they are my own! I own my home and although I don't have a fenced in yard, I do work from home every day during the week and have plenty of time to walk your pup around whenever they need! I also offer grooming for dogs 20 pounds or smaller for an extra fee. I have two dogs, Daisy and Dixon. Daisy is a Maltese/Yorkie mix and Dixon is a Dachshund/Cavalier King Charles mix. Both are good with other dogs, so your pup would need to also be good with other pups! I'm super excited to meet you and your four-legged kid!

Shylah was the perfect pal for our Barney while we were away. Kind and conscientious, she made sure his love tank was always filled. She was great about sending pictures and feedback. Thanks, Shylah!

Shylah is beyond wonderful! Our precious Roscoe would barely eat for anyone else whenever we would travel, but he thrived in Shylah's care. He trusted and adored her, and we could always feel assured that he'd be happy in her company. During one of our trips, he fell ill (upon our return, we learned he had a large mass on his pancreas). Shylah nursed and cared for him as if he were her own until we got home. When he discontinued eating for us, it was her recommended diet that gave him strength and quality of life until it was time for us to say our final good-byes. We now have two cats, and Shylah is our first choice for looking in on them whenever we're away. We trust her implicitly, and our kitties love her too. You couldn't ask for a better caregiver for your furballs.

Shylah is amazing! She is great with animals and is very patient and loving! My dogs are always excited to see her. We adopted a dog from a breeder who didn't allow him out of his kennel from the time he was born until we got him at 7 months old. Needless to say he was very timid and reluctant to meet new people. Jeter runs right up to Shylah and gives her big kisses when he sees her. Shylah has also groomed my other dog for 10+ years and treats him like he belongs to her. I would highly recommend Shylah for any breed of dog, she loves them all.... and they love her!!!!

I've known Shylah for more than seven years, and she is one of the most honest, dependable people I know. She loves everyone's dog like they're her own. She has house and dog-sat for me countless times. Never am I nervous about allowing her into my home, or worried about the care she'll be giving my dog, Cain. Cain loves her, and she adores Cain. They're buddies, and I have no doubt that she'll be just as good of a friend to anyone else's dog!
