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 did an excellent job taking care of my pup. She went above and beyond to care for him and keep him happy and busy. She was communicative, sent excellent pictures, and was so accommodating. I especially loved that she treated my dog as if he was her own. It was a home away from home for him and it gave me peace of mind while I was out of town.

Shana did an outstanding job taking care of my baby. She let me take him to her place before my dog's visit to ensure he would be a good fit to stay with her. During the entire stay, she kept me up to date daily with more than one photo or video to make sure I knew he was having a great time. Shana did more than I expected, and I'm sure she would have accommodated any other requests if I had asked. I plan to ask her to watch my baby the next time I am out of town as well.

Shana was great! She sent so many pictures of Gia, and I can tell she was very cared for while I was gone 😊

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
