Information Shanna S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can accommodate for meals, going up and down stairs or even how frequently they need let out. I really love all of the details so please don’t think it’s overwhelming or you’re providing too much information.

A typical day

We could provide lots of cuddles, play fetch out back or walk to Huntley Meadows! We live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of places to walk to. Also, our bernadoodle loves to play, but he can also nap with the best of them!

Loving home with big fenced in yard

Pet care experience

I have been a lover of animals my entire life. My earlier childhood years were spent on a farm in Pennsylvania, where we had horses, dogs, cats, parakeets, guinea pigs, and bunnies. We currently live in the most wonderful neighborhood for walks and have a huge fenced in yard! I am at home all day, every day, so I am available for extra care for your pet. We have three young kids and a Bernadoodle named, Koda that can provide play or cuddles when needed!

Second stay with Shana and it was great! Waldo had such a good time with her and got lots of love and attention the whole weekend. She sent updates and pictures everyday and was easy to communicate with. Definitely going to be booking another stay!

Shanna has been an amazing help with my two dogs. Not only is she very communicative letting me know how they are doing and what’s going on, but she’s a treat in the neighborhood! I hear great things about her all of the time from my neighbors, who see her in action during the day.

Shanna is AMAZING! It can be tough to find someone to care for your fur baby when you are new to an area. I am so happy I found Shanna! She addressed all my concerns, answered all my questions and was so kind to both me and Waldo. She sent daily updates and photos and gave our dog all the love. Waldo will definitely be back!
