I just want to cuddle your pet

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets since I was young. Starting with all my family pets growing up (dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) I am a big animal lover. I will treat every animal like my own. I have 3 of my own pets; my cat Milo who I’ve had for 9 years, my dog Chico and my dog Rolo, both are just over a year old. Chico is leash reactive on walks so I have lots of experience working through that reactivity and keeping dogs calm and comfortable

Shania is amazing! My fur baby has been well taken care of in a way that fits exactly her needs. She Even made new fur friends. 🐶 I received regular pictures and my mind was at peace at all time. Highly recommended!!! 💖

Shania was one of Walter’s favourite sitters! She is communicative, attentive, and conscientious. Walter loves playing with her two dogs who match his lively play style.
