I can’t say enough good things about Shayna as my pet sitter! From the very beginning, she made me feel at ease with her warmth and genuine love for cats. She took wonderful care of my two feline companions, carefully following all my instructions and taking time to play with them and give them plenty of cuddles. Shayna sent me daily updates and the sweetest photos, which made me smile and reassured me that my cats were happy and content. When I came home, the cats were calm, well-fed, and obviously enjoyed her company. It’s such a relief to know I can count on Shayna—she truly treats my cats like her own!

Shayna has been my go-to cat sitter for the last few years! She is very professional and reliable, and I can tell she really loves all the animals she looks after. I can count on her during holiday travel and I know my kitty is in good hands with her!

Shayna is gifted pet care professional who truly cares about the pets under her care. She meticulously provides updates on a pet boarding app with pictures and updates that help you stay connected to your pet while she takes great care of them. Our dog mavery loves being with Shayna and other dogs that he meets under her care. Mavery is so excited to see Shayna when we drop him off. He wags his tail and runs to her as soon as he sees her. For me and my family, that says it all! I highly recommend Shayna for anyone's pet care needs. She's the best!

Shayna is amazing! I’ve used her services for a couple years. I have an elderly dog with medical needs and hate having to leave her when I go out of town. I’m so happy I found Shayna, now I don’t have to worry and I know my pup is well taken care of. Shayna provides excellent care and I love all the pictures and updates I get while I’m gone. Highly recommend!!

Shayna came highly recommended from a neighbor and she was so responsive and sweet. We setup a meet and greet so she could see their personalities which I appreciated! It gives me such peace of mind knowing my babies are under excellent care when I’m away. She kept in constant communication with lots of updates, sent photos, asked questions, and was very flexible with pickup. Even my cat-chasing dog didn’t have any issues with her kitty! They came home calm, in great spirits and I could tell they were well taken care of as sometimes my boys get stressed when I have left them with other sitters. Shayna will be our go-to for any of our care needs in the future! Thank you Shayna! ???♥️

I found Shayna on here and we set up a free in-person meet-and-greet with her and my two cats before deciding to go with her for pet sitting over 10 days during the Christmas break. Shayna was a great communicator, did everything we discussed during each visit, she was trying to engage with the cats even when they were a little lazy and tired of playing which I really appreciate. She sent us updates and pictures during every visit. 10/10 recommend working with Shayna and she will be my go-to pet sitter from now on!

Shayna took care of our furbabies (3 cats and a senior dog) over Christmas 2018. We trusted her not only with our pets, but also with our home as overnight care was needed. She did an exceptional job! She sent retailer updates with photos, cleaned the cat boxes twice a day, and even left a dog cookie for our good boy. I would 100% hire her again!
