Shaina can care for
Availability
I currently work caring for animals through Rover, per request and availability. During the weekend, I work at a doggy daycare. I must say that I love dogs and cats most of all animals, but I do also enjoy many other creatures too. They each have something that makes them fascinating and fun. Additionally, I love working with young children. Before branching off to work with animals on a regular reoccurring basis, I was a nanny for 11 years. I still currently work with children, on an as needed basis with a few families for occasional care. The blend of work between both jobs has been a great experience so far! I like the balance.

About Shaina S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I am in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their privacy and boundaries. I am mindful of my environment and the energy I carry with me, throughout the time I’m there. I value open, kind communication between the household members. I honor the commitments I’ve made, to the families who have hired me.
Information Shaina S. would like to know about your pet
I can accommodate specific requests and am flexible with special needs, especially if expressed ahead of time. I’m happy to follow instructions given to meet specific individual needs. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs.
A typical day
I enjoy going for walks and spending time outside together. Additionally, I can easily match the energy of the dog(s), to make sure that an adequate amount of exercise is given. Playtime and physical touch is key in building trust, having fun, and to show affection. If allowed, treats/meals and fresh water are provided too. Indoors, cuddles and playtime are a favorite of mine and can easily be accommodated. I always make an effort to incorporate activities that the pet likes to do best, as per the parents.

Pet care experience
I have extensive experience, both personally and professionally, working with animals of all ages and sizes. These experiences have allowed me to learn and acquire a great deal of knowledge. The majority of my work experience is with dogs and cats, but I have worked with some amphibians & reptiles too. Although I’m not a certified dog trainer, I’ve successfully trained several dogs, by using a combination of training methods suitable for their individual needs. Additionally, I’m very comfortable administering medication, when necessary.
Cat care experience
Shaina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Shaina was fantastically communicative and made sure my two little ones were comfortable and cared for exceptionally well. Highly recommend!
Great sitter for our little prince
Shaina is so kind and patient with the pups as they got used to her for the first day or two. One of my dogs can be moody and she handled him with grace and patience until he was comfortable. Highly recommend!
Shaina was excellent with Atlas. She is personable, professional and very considerate. Atlas enjoyed his walks with her.
