Safety, trust & environment

I live in a great townhouse community that is tucked away. I have a small fenced-in patio where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. It’s quiet, safe, and has over a mile of side walks that wind throughout the neighborhood. It’s easy to get multiple walks (long or short) everyday. There is also a fenced in dog park in the neighborhood. When I do drop-ins, I always take time to give your pet attention, love, and company. I never just let a pet out and leave. They deserve more, especially after being alone for a few hours. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority.

Information Shana V. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pets routine, personality, and how they do with strangers or other people that aren’t their owners. I’d also love to know if they have any quirks, fears (loud noises, garbage truck, thunder, etc.) favorite toys and treats! As much information as possible will help me provide them with the best care!

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I tailor activities to match their personality and energy level. I love going on long (or short) walks, playing fetch, and exploring nearby parks. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to spend time with them giving scratches behind the ears and belly rubs. I’m happy to do anything special that the animals like or need as well with prior instruction given. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and feeling loved while you’re away!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Shana (Shay-nuh 😉)! I’ve been a trusted go-to for friends and family for years. Caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From puppies to seniors, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I raised my American Bulldog from 10 weeks old, so I know how much consistency, patience, and love matter. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 What you can expect: ✔️ Reliable, loving care ✔️ Experience with big breeds, seniors & puppies ✔️ Flexible scheduling ✔️ Clear communication and plenty of updates ✔️ Lots of walks (if they like them) ✔️ Lots of love and attention, every time I can even run with your dog if they have lots of energy and like running! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I’m extra excited to welcome yours into my life… even if just for a little while. ❤️

We were lucky enough to have Shana AND her mom (staying in town) when we had her watch our two pups for a four day stay! Right off the bat when we met Shana, we knew it would be a great fit. Our older dog is a bit of a grump and doesn’t take to new people very well and doesn’t like other dogs (other than his brother). We had Shana and her mom both “ignore” both of them (at our request) until we could see that Jax was comfortable and at ease and then the rest is history! We will definitely use Shana again in the future (and her mom if we are lucky enough to have her in town during one of our stays!). Cannot recommend Shana enough! I’m sad we didn’t connect with her sooner!

Shana was amazing. She came over and did a meet and greet she’s super kind and I had no worries having her watch my fur babies.

Shana was incredible with Aidee. Communicated great with us and we felt so comfortable having her watch our girl. Definitely will be using her again!
