About Me
My Story
Hi my name is Shayla and I am excited to share my petsitting journey with you and your pets. I was born and raised in Valdosta, GA and grew up a country girl. Animals always have come natural to me. Starting my passion in my hometown, I volunteered at the local animal shelter for some years working with domestic, exotic and even some farm animals. I knew then animals was my love and enjoyment. Following my passion for animals, I moved to the city of Savannah where I graduated from Armstrong State University with a bachelors in Biology and volunteered at a local wildlife rehabilitation center.
I have learned and developed my Veterinary skills and knowledge from working as a kennel technician caring for pets in a boarding style environment and then naturally transitioning to a Veterinary Technician Assistant career at a general vet hospital and then later at a specialty practice that included oncology, neurology, physical therapy, internal medicine and also ER. I enjoy applying my years of experience to the well-being of animals and now offering trusted pet care services.
My dream home would be living on a farm but for now my husband (Antonio), our son (Levi) and I live with our pitbull mix (Oreo), pitbull puppy (Pixie), bearded dragon (Arlo) and a fish (Zira). When not volunteering or fostering, I can be found at dog parks with Oreo and Pixie or fishing with my husband and son. Animals are my passion and providing safe care and love to your pets is my enjoyment so contact me to discuss your pets needs and receive great tailored care.
