Pet care experience

Your pets favourite staycation!

Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️

Shania was great! She took good care of cielo and sent me plenty of updates of their day. I would definitely recommend her!

Shania is such a great sitter for our dog Sport. She’s so attentive and caring. Our dog get excited when she comes to watch him. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and my family feels so much comfort in knowing that Sport is in great care with Shania.

Schedule

📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. 
• During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well.
 From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me!

Every pet is unique, and I want to provide the best care possible. Before your booking, I'd love to know things like: • Feeding schedule
 • Potty routine
 • Favorite toys or activities
 • Medications or supplements
 • Allergies or health concerns
 • Commands they know
 • Any fears or anxieties
 • Sleeping routine 
• Anything else that helps them feel comfortable The more I know, the better I can keep your pet happy and maintain their normal routine.
