Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Bestie 🐶🐱

I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities since childhood, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets as if they were my own. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and always focused on keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or medication time, I tailor care to each pet’s unique routine and personality.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 14, 2025

I booked Shanitta to watch my dog, Chronos, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I dropped him off, she invited me inside to see her home and make sure I was comfortable with everything, which I really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent plenty of videos and pictures so I always knew how he was doing. She even logged his activities, including when he ate and when he used the bathroom. Chronos looked so happy and clearly had a great time with her! Shanitta was communicative, patient, and genuinely caring. I felt at ease leaving Chronos with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!

Shanita took amazing care of my cats Pickle and Julio while I was away. She was incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative. She provided regular updates and photos so I always knew they were happy and relaxed. Pickle can be shy at first, but she warmed up right away, and Julio loved all the attention and playtime with Shanita. I came home to two very content cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Shanitta provided exceptional service walking my dog, cooper. She has treated him as if he was her own. She showed up all the time and kept me informed. Thank you.

Shanitta took car of my cat Shadow when I went to Bali this August. Highly recommend her! Shadow was in great hands and I will be using Shanitta whenever I travel.

Shanitta is the best with pets. Incredibly caring and loving to animals and their owners. She has pet sit for me and walked my dog on numerous occasions and I am so happy my dog has her.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where your furry friend can relax, play, and feel loved while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! We’ll go on neighborhood walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or chase toys inside. For cuddle-loving pets, I make time for snuggles, brushing, and calm bonding moments. Every pet gets personalized attention and activities that match their energy and personality.

I like to know each pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs—such as medications, allergies, or behavior quirks. It’s also helpful to know how they do with new people, other animals, and any fears or triggers (like loud noises or certain toys). The more I know, the better I can keep them happy, safe, and comfortable!
