I make sure to pay attention to the pets vibe and needs, I take my time getting to know them and making sure they’re safe and treat every animal as my own. My little jax go out for 30min walks three times a day in addition to park / play time. He’s always has fresh water and healthy yummy treats (limited to one or two treats a day) , high quality food and every now and again homemade. I listen and ask other pet owners what they expect , any tips or things to be aware of with their pet , to make sure each sitting feel as comfortable as possible

Loving, attentive, reliable sitter!

Pet care experience

I have always had a love for all animals since childhood. Growing up I had a small chihuahua family dog, and now proud dog mom to my little terrier dachshund mix! I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks and personally trained him. For years and often I’ve dogsitted for many family and friends as well as fellow pet owners I’ve met in the community. Dogs and cats absolutely love me, they are drawn to my calm demeanor, happy go lucky vibes , always attentive to their needs and comfort . I would love and genuinely enjoy watching after your pet ! I work from home most days , have a regular park/walk schedule and always make plenty of time for cuddles and playtime . My little jax and I love to make new friends !

Shana was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Frank, for 13 days while I was out of the country and gave me complete peace of mind. She kept me updated, was incredibly caring and reliable, and Frank came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Shana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog boarder.
