Information Shanie J. would like to know about your pet

During in-home visits, I strictly adhere to your pet’s established routines, ensuring feeding schedules, exercise, and any special needs—like medication or specific care instructions—are precisely followed. I maintain a hazard-free environment and keep a close watch on each pet’s behavior, health, and mood, quickly addressing any signs of stress or discomfort. My approach combines professional, attentive care with open communication, offering you regular updates and photos so that you’re never far from your pet’s day-to-day experience.

Shanie took great care of my pup. Received multiple photos that put a smile on my face. Shanie was extremely flexible when my flight got delayed. I was so grateful. Thank you Shanie for an awesome job.
