About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)

About: I grew up in a household that rarely had less than 3 dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs - big, small, mutt or purebred - they all have hearts of gold. Contact me if your pup (or any other fur babies) needs some extra attention (either in-home or in my home), exercise, or boarding! All breeds/sizes/ages welcome. Your pet will receive plenty of care, attention and love. I have extensive experience working with anxious pups. My parents’ dog shakes/cries at any loud noise, the smell of bacon cooking (yes, really... makes her think of the smoke detector going off), etc. I’ve always been able to calm her down. I have also worked with skittish and aggressive dogs. My friend has a pup that bites/barks at almost everyone, but he now cuddles up and cries of excitement whenever I come over. I am currently self-employed, and my schedule is very flexible. I can work with your schedule. I also accept last minute bookings as well, so don't hesitate to reach out! I live in a spacious duplex and welcome boarding. Animals are allowed to explore and are allowed on the furniture if they so choose. I am more than happy to house-sit too--I can travel upwards of 50 miles for stays and I always leave homes in the same condition I found them.

“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”
