Vet Technician and animal caregiver

I am a former veterinary technician with many years experience with all types of pups and kitties! I have a love and passion for working with animals, my first job was working on a farm. I love learning about different breeds and behaviors and pride myself in understanding animal behavior. I have worked with all breeds of dogs and all types of behaviors from aggressive to timid to scared and anxious. I hope to meet many new pups and build lasting relationships while helping with you and your pups needs for years to come!

We had to leave our Great Dane for over a week and was hesitant, but we really appreciated the constant communication each day, with photos and updates of how she was doing. The fenced in yard was a hit, and Shane and his girlfriend were great to ensure she was taken care of. We will definitely book again if needed!

My cats were in great hands! Shane and his girlfriend did an excellent job with taking care of my shy kitties. The pictures showed that they were truly having a great time. Thank you again!

Shane was responsive and caring for our dogs, Benji and Sage. We were in CT for a surprise party and Shane was incredibly accommodating with us as we booked with two days notice and flubbed some directions on our way to pick the pups up. Thank you for showing us grace and for taking great care of our babies!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 16, 2025

I have been very conflicted on this review. While the lead up was easy enough and Shane was responsive, the actual day of the service was just a bit odd. We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our 5 month old puppy for the day. I confirmed the day before and Shane stated his girlfriend would be there as he was out until 1. No problem. Asked for her name and how I should contact her once we knew exactly what time we’d be there. He gave us her name and told us to just arrive “whenever” that she’d see us on the ring camera. Drop off was easy enough and Allie was super kind. Clear that she loves animals. We never received a follow up from Shane or any pictures or even just a note that the puppy was doing ok. Every pet sitter we’ve ever had has always sent at least 1 photo from the visit. Wasn’t a huge deal, but just interesting. We were going to arrive to pick the puppy up about 40 mins earlier than originally planned so I messaged Shane to let him know. When we got to the house Allie had the puppy ready to go and handed her over to us. Easy enough. Shane was outside. I said hello to him and thanked him. But, he never acknowledged us or said anything. Never even acknowledged the puppy as we were walking by him to pop her in the car. I was conflicted about what rating to give as the puppy seemed well cared for while there. But, the experience was a bit weird.
