Mom and Sons, animal lovers❤️🐶 🐈
Pet care experience
I’m a mom of 3 humans and 2 fur babies with an entire life of loving animals! My family had a farm when I was younger where I would love to go help take care of the horses, chickens, and lots of dogs. Growing up, I also had a variety of pets. I cared for birds, fish, a cat, a rabbit, hamsters, and dogs. As I became older and had 3 sons of my own, they became animal lovers too! We have 2 dogs of our own that we’ve had since they were puppies. They’re both well behaved, potty trained, and great with other dogs. I have lots of puppy training experience. I also had a black lab for 14 years, and have watched multiple senior dogs, so I have some training with older dogs also. I would prefer to do a meet and greet before committing, to make sure we’re both a good fit for each other, and I can get to know everything about your animal. I do have 3 sons, ages 11, 13, and 16 at home, but no young children though. My youngest would love to be able to help on a daily basis. I’m home most of the time, so I’ll have plenty of time and attention to give to your animal. Hopefully I’ll get to meet your little fur baby/babies soon!!
Reviews
Did an amazing job watching the moose! Her dogs were extremely friendly and I feel like Moose went on his own doggie vacation!
Shanna was amazing with Hooky. She kept in touch, sent us pictures, and our girl got along great with her family of dogs and humans! Will definitely use again if we’re in need!!!
Shanna is great with my dogs. She notices if they are a little off and lets me know. She walks them every visit except when it’s raining which is fine because they don’t like to walk in the rain anyway. Shanna shows up on time every day and is flexible about swapping days if needed. I have her come 3 days a week. Shanna is super reliable.
Shanna is the best! Highly, highly recommend her. She genuinely cares for your pet. My pup loves her!

I own my home in Allen Park, with a fenced in backyard. I keep my yard sprayed for fleas and ticks. Both my dogs are fully vaccinated and I keep flea and tick medicine on them. I don’t require that clients keep flea and tick meds on them, but I do require proof of a rabies vaccination of their animal to keep my dogs, us, and other dogs safe. When I’m away from the house for short periods of time, I do have cameras in and outside my home to still be able to monitor what’s going on.

Information Shanna S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, allergies, or needs to be administered any medications before committing to anything. I have plenty of experience giving oral medications, but have never given injections before. Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any temperament issues, so I can plan accordingly.
A typical day
I’ll play fetch, let your dog have some outside time in the backyard, and go for walks, if allowed. We’ll go over what is in the best interest and wants for the dog and their owner first.

Availability
I currently work outside of the home 2 days a week part time. I work very early mornings from usually 4am-9 or 10am. If I’m going to be longer than 4 hours at work, I come home and let the dogs out, then go back. I work every other weekend, and every other Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the time, I’m almost always home. I do require you bring their normal food with them, so their diet isn’t messed up when you’re away. Please let me know if you have an aggressive or unpredictable animal ahead of time. I’m willing to work with you for drop in visits, but I do have 3 children at home that I need to keep safe when boarding animals. Please note: If my schedule says I’m unavailable for a certain day you need me to board your animal, and you’re a repeat customer, don’t hesitate to ask me if I can. I do get up very early for work, so I don’t like to board new dogs on nights I work (due to unpredictable sleep patterns). Boarding rates are based on 24 hour days. If you drop a dog off at 7am on a Monday, and can’t pick them up until 10pm on Friday, that Friday will have an additional charge for the extra hours over that 24 hour period. If you pay for doggy day care and only need me for 4 hours or less, remind me and I’ll take half off my daily daycare rate. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
