Highlights
Pet care experience
Hire me for a pawsitive experience!
With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, I bring a deep love and understanding to every pet I look after. From playful zoomies to peaceful senior strolls, I’m here to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’ve personally raised and cared for three dogs of different breeds, and I’m confident handling all kinds of temperaments and energy levels. I’m happy to help with bathing, walks, playtime, and even basic training — including sit, recall, leash manners, and potty training. I’m especially mindful of age-specific needs, whether it’s soothing anxiety, supporting mobility issues, or simply knowing when a pup needs a little extra patience or comfort. Whatever your dog requires — special instructions, medications, or routines — I’ll follow it closely to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’d be honored to care for them like one of my own

Ratings and reviews
Everything went well with Shania. Good communication in the lead up to going away, and kitties were well taken care of.
Shania was very accommodating for the half day I needed someone to watch my boy!
Went above and beyond when taking care of Sadie!
My dog loves Shania. :) She has provided excellent care whenever we need assistance in the Okanagan, or we have family visiting who have animals who would like to have a day out and about. I will not hesitate to use Shania's services in the future. Thank you, -TB
I'd like to give to thumbs up for Shania. She has taken care of my dog Max while I was away overnight, and treated him very well. You can tell she is great with animals, and takes care of them as if it were her pet/family member. Thank you thank you!!!
Shania’s love for animals is extremely apparent as soon as you meet her. She absolutely adores her family dogs, Bella and Tika, and this is so clear when she talks about all of the memories she has created with them. Shania has a natural nurturing quality to her and is very organized. She’s an ideal sitter for any pet care and I know your animals will be in the best hands. She’s a lovely girl, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or full-time pet sitting, I make sure each pet has a set routine they can rely on — from morning potty breaks and mealtime to evening walks and wind-down time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain their familiar routine and environment. I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone — whether that means quiet companionship or engaging activities. From feeding and walking to medications or special care, I treat your home and pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
A typical day
Here are just a few things your pet can look forward to: 🐾 Walks and Outdoor Adventures – Whether it’s a leisurely sniff stroll or a more active walk, I tailor outings to your pet’s energy level and needs. 🎾 Playtime Galore – From fetch and tug-of-war to squeaky toys and zoomie sessions, I love keeping play interactive and engaging. 🧠 Enrichment Games – I use puzzle toys, treat hunts, and training games to challenge their minds and keep boredom at bay. 💤 Chill Time – After the fun, we wind down with cuddle time, belly rubs, or just relaxing together in a calm, safe space. 🎓 Basic Training Refreshers – For puppies or pets who enjoy learning, I can reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, or leash manners in a fun and positive way. Every pet is different, so I adjust our activities based on age, energy, and any special needs. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels happy, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away!
