Information Shanell L. would like to know about your pet

Any behaviors around other dogs and how I should work with that. I will change my park destinations depending on that. I don’t want to put them in situations they don’t like like socializing with other dogs if they prefer one on one

A typical day

Well I always believed that being active is the most important. So we wake up early and go for a walk, then come home and have Breakfast. I like to get some work done but I always make sure a park break is set for lunch time. We run and throw around the ball if they enjoy that. Back at home we rest and cuddles when needed. I have many friends with pets so maybe play dates can be scheduled. I live by the lake so we can go to the dog beach.

My Australian Shepard absolutely loves Shanell. Shanell is very good about sending updates with pictures and videos. She maintained my dogs routine assuring she got plenty of exercise while being safe. She is flexible with caregiving hours and walks, definitely recommend.

Shanell is one of the most caring and thoughtful person I know. She loves animals and will treat each of your pet as her own. She is dedicated, caring, disciplined and above all loving when it comes to animals. Having her as a pet caregiver would give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is well taken care of.

10/10 pet sitter. Shanell is great with both cats and dogs. Her love and care for them is what you want around your pet speaking as a dog mom. Super sweet and kind. My furry baby enjoyed having her around. Great with cuddles and always on it when it comes to strict meal times and potty time. Her warm, loving & nurturing energy is what you’ll pet love the most. Highly recommend Shanell as a pet caregiver
