Bone-a-fide caretaker of all pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog caretaker and sitter for about 17 years, and I’ve owned animals my entire life (32years); animals are my life. From dogs and cats to fish and turtles (and even tarantulas!), I have had extensive experience with them all. All I know is that, personally, there is nothing in the entire world better than coming home after a long day and seeing your pet; even on your worst day, they will ALWAYS be there to put a smile on your face. They are truly there for us no matter what, and that unconditional love is something that all of us need! I understand how special these creatures are, and the responsibility of taking care of them isn’t just an honor, it also makes me the happiest person in the world!

Shana is an excellent sitter! She went above and beyond expectations with my cat, Hobbes. 100% would recommend to anyone else.

Shana took such good care of our timid little girl! She is very communicative, caring, and attentive to detail. We can’t wait for her to walk Persimmon again.

Shana is THE BEST! She watched our two (high maintenance) pugs while my fiancé and I were in Mexico for 4 days. The pugs are not the easiest to watch- one of them eats everything in sight and the other pees if he has anxiety. Shana made us feel so comfortable while we were away and was in constant communication always sending photos, videos, and updates. When we came home, the house was so clean and the pugs were very happy :) Not to mention, Shana is one of the sweetest people ever! Thank you so much Shana for watching the puggies! Will definitely book again

I literally consider your pet as your child - it’s a tiny precious little soul that needs love (as well as food, walks, etc.); while you also need someone to make sure that they receive that while you’re away - comfort reassured with pictures and text updates. I’ll also leave your house spotless! :)

Information Shana M. would like to know about your pet

The only things I would need to be informed of would be if they have any special needs or disabilities, if they have any issues during a walk with people or other dogs, and what food/portion size/time to feed them :)

Walking, wrestling, playing, cuddling, and (depending on the dog) dog parks! Just hanging out and being around your dog or cat is precious time well spent! :)

I’m back in school (online courses) so aside from schoolwork, my full attention is focused on taking care of your child (pet) - as well as making sure you know that they are in loving, responsible, and safe hands.
