I am clean quiet and attentive. You won't be able to tell I was there after I leave. I give animals ample time to warm up to my presence and will shower them with attention and affection if/ when they want it.

Information Shaine S. would like to know about your pet

What their temperament is like, how long I should expect for them to warm up to me, any diet concerns, reactivity level, good with other dogs/ cats and what I should generally expect for a day with your beautiful pet :)

A typical day

I love going for long walks, especially with happy dogs in tow. I always stop and let them sniff for as long as it suits them. I love finding fun dog friendly parks and trails to walk around and explore

Pet care experience

I have had animals my entire life, being the primary caretaker for a majority of that time. I have a lot of experience with disabled and elderly animals. I took care of a dog with no function in her back legs, esophageal issues, and was blind in one eye for 8 years. I did end of life care for two adopted elderly cats spanning across 5 years. I work very well with cats and dogs of all ages and animals warm up to me very quickly.
