About Shanna S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in the client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and adherence to the owner’s preferences. I begin by following any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, medication, walking routines, and behavioral management. I ensure all doors, gates, and windows remain securely closed and monitor the environment for any hazards such as cords, chemicals, or items pets could ingest. I keep pets on leashes when appropriate and supervise interactions with other animals or children. I also maintain a clean space, promptly disposing of waste and sanitizing areas as needed, while respecting the owner’s home and belongings. Emergency contact information and veterinarian details are kept readily available, and I provide regular updates to reassure the owner that their pets are safe, happy, and receiving attentive care. Every action is guided by the owner’s preferences to ensure a consistent, stress-free experience for both pets and their family.
Information Shanna S. would like to know about your pet
Before I start dog sitting, I like to ask the owner important questions to make sure I can care for their pet properly. I ask about their daily routine, including feeding times, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. I also want to know their exercise needs, favorite activities, and how they like to play. I ask about any medical conditions, medications, or behavioral issues, like fear or anxiety. I make sure I understand their bathroom schedule, preferred commands, and favorite toys. Finally, I confirm emergency contacts, including their veterinarian, so I’m fully prepared to keep their dog safe and happy.
A typical day
When watching dogs, I focus on keeping them active, happy, and engaged. I enjoy playing fetch, going on walks, practicing gentle training commands, and setting up small obstacle courses. I also spend time giving belly rubs, brushing their fur, and offering treats for good behavior. Interactive toys and games help keep their minds stimulated, while plenty of cuddle time strengthens our bond. Overall, I aim to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy both physical activity and mental engagement while feeling cared for and happy.
