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!!

Shanna is the best. She take great care of my pups and let’s me know if she notices anything unusual with them. Such as the are more / less energetic. Do or don’t want walk. If the do anything amusing she will share that as well. My dogs both took to her as soon as they met her. Even Otis who is particular about humans.

Shanna came for a meet and greet and immediately the dogs took to her. She walked Solo and gave lots of feedback. I would highly recommend her for your doggy needs!

Shanna started walking our dog Linus twice a week shortly after I had our first baby - it was one of the best decisions we made post partum! Shanna is so wonderful and kind with our dog and I always feel completely confident when he is out with her. We call her 'Linus' special friend' because it was so nice he got special attention and love while we adjusted to having a human baby in the family. Linus is 75-80lbs and doesn't always walk well on a leash, Shanna had no problem and he has gottem much better at walking since she started working with him. Shanna and her sons are just kind, friendly people and its always a treat to have them in our home - she goes above and beyond. We love you Shanna, thanks for everything you do for us!

Safety, trust & environment

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.

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.
