Pet care experience

Reindeer are better than people.

(Just to clarify that headline is from Frozen.) I'm a former dog owner and I loved my elderly dog till she passed. I've also pet sat for multiple families over the last five years. I'm familiar with high anxiety dogs, dogs with diet restrictions, I've house sat for multiple dogs and cats. I also recently helped feed and home a stray mama cat and her kittens over the summer. I approach with calm, confidence and joy. Its important to me that when I first meet an animal, the critter feels safe to approach me in their own time. Some animals can be anxious so I try not to be over stimulating.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog of ten years that passed had a special diet for a sensitive stomache, I had to wash her bedding more often. Even though she was a small breed I still took her on walks. As she entered her golden years I frequently took care of accidents, put her in diapers, took her to the doctors for her stomach and her anxiety. Gave her medicine to ease her ailments. I do the same for the animals in my care, make sure they are loved and cared for the way their per parents outline for me. Down to walks, play time and special food requirements. Our fur buddies deserve care for the unconditional love they give us.

Shania was an amazing dog sitting for my anxious older dog. She had great communication and patience when meeting her and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My dog is very anxious and Shania made it much easier for Lily and made her so comfortable. She took Greta care of Lily and will be using her in the future.

Shania was amazing to work with; she took great care of our dogs and was communicative and quick to respond to our messages. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing while we were away.

Shania is conscientious and takes care to do things just as asked. As a dog mom of dog with some anxiety and a medical condition requiring using a Bailey chair for feeding it is important to have someone who cares. Shania gave exceptional care, attention to my dog and appreciated that I have a manual. Often people say I know I know. She listened to my concerns and took care to know my dogs walking routes and how to prepare special meals. She is a diamond. I want to keep her all to myself and that isnt right because your dog will be well cared for if you hire Shania. I had a worry free and relaxing vacation with her house and dog sitting. She sent photos and kept in touch which is a must for me. She responded to text and left my house clean. I would highly recommend for dog sitting or house sitting with dog at your home.

Please let me know ahead of time what your dogs needs are. Such as any medical needs (incontinence, teeth/ear/eye irritability, open wounds ect.) any changes in mood or behavior (more anxious, more lax ect). As well as if they have new behaviors that I should keep an eye out for. (Obsessive scratching, or fixations. Things of that manner.)
