Pet care experience

Farmed raised animal lover!

Animals have been at the center of my life since childhood. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals of all kinds is truly in my roots. I was a devoted dog mom for 13 years to my late dachshund, Boston and currently have a big, friendly rescue dog who’s been by my side for 4 years, a beautiful mix of Blue Tick Coonhound, American Foxhound, Lab, Bully, German Shepherd, and who knows what else, or as I like to call her a Supermutt 🩷 Over the years I’ve rescued dogs, cats and other animals off the streets, and I’m constantly learning everything I can about animal health, behavior, and care so that I can always be prepared for any type of pet friend that comes into my home. Friends, family, and neighbors have always turned to me when they need someone they can truly trust with their pets. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love.

Shaneska is one of the biggest animal lovers and advocates alive! She has taken care of numerous pets, her own and those she's encountered, with love, compassion, and true care. I trust my own hyper, silly pitbull mix in her hands and I definitely can't say that for just anyone. Shaneska is responsible tending to the needs of even those medically complex pets.

Shaneska took amazing care of my dog, Water, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Water was well cared for and comfortable with her. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. I highly recommend Shaneska to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I cannot recommend Shaneska enough as a pet caregiver. She is a very compassionate, loving and responsible person who absolutely adores her own dog and treats her like family. Any pet in her care will be treated with the same love, kindness and patience as if they were her own. Anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter would be lucky to have her.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have a partially fenced yard and a secure ground-anchored long lead for supervised outdoor time, so dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. I also live right next to a large park with trails, making it easy to get in enriching walks and outdoor adventures. My own dog Khaleesi is friendly and social with other dogs, so boarded pets will have a welcoming companion. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own, your pet will feel right at home.

Pets

A typical day

It is important to keep a dog in their routine so if you have specific times where food is provided please let me know ahead of time, with that said make sure you send enough food for their stay if you have treats you'd prefer for them to have please bring those as well although I do have treats at home. I will try my best to accommodate your pets little quirks and rituals they have, some simply want food to devour while others need you to pretend you are cooking them a five star meal. I love it when doggos have silly quirks so it's no problem at all. Safety is important and although I know your precious baby is just as perfect as my precious baby do not worry about meal time I always make sure everyone has their own designated area to have a calm meal. I will make sure your pet will be mentally and physically stimulated, by bringing them out for sniff walks/playtime, having fun with commands and treats, I will also include puzzles and snuffle matts for those who enjoy it, along with lick matts. Although your beloved pet will have plenty of outdoor time I would love to know if they have a potty schedule as some pups like to stick to that schedule even if they have gotten outdoor time. After a fun filled day your pet will then have the best night sleep. I know how hard it can be to be away from their hoomans so I have two extra kennels and covers that I use for bedtime, extra beds and blankets and sound machines for an relaxing atmosphere.
