GSD lover, but I love ALL animals!

Pet care experience

I have been a German Shepherd “mom”, ever since my family brought home Lady, my 1st GSD, when I was in kindergarten. Since then, it is the only breed I have ever had (minus a few strays I’ve taken in over the years). I lost my heart in 2016, when my 1st baby, Dakota, got cancer. I was devastated. In January of this year, I lost her 14yo brother, Kruz-also to cancer. I am also a breast cancer survivor. I have 1 baby, Sophie, left. As much as I want to adopt another one, I’m not sure my heart is ready. So, what better way to fill the void, than to play with & dog-sit other people’s fur babies?! :) I recently fostered a GSD puppy for 2 months. I know how to work with large & small breeds alike. I love dogs more than anything, and I will ensure that yours has all the affection/attention its heart desires! I am well-versed in voice and hand commands, as well; so rest assured, I will follow whatever your routine is for your fur baby. :)

Shana is flexible, communicative, and great with our 2 dogs (And 4 cats when occasionally housesitting). We primarily do drop ins and have never had an issue. I would highly recommend Shana as a petsitter.

Shana did an awesome job watching over my two fur babies while I was on vacation. Thank you so much Shana for being reliable and dependable. I appreciate the kindness and my fur babies appreciated your kisses. Xxoxoxoxo

I co-own a restaurant, and don’t have to be on-site. So as of now, my schedule is wide open and flexible. When I hire a dog-sitter, my #1 priority is knowing that they will actually BE HERE. I will happily be there for your pet(s), as much as you would like.
