My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

Information Shanna S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, it’s important for me to know about your pet’s personality, habits, and any special needs before we get started. Please share details like: -Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions -Medical conditions or medications -Any behavioral traits or fears (like noise sensitivity or stranger anxiety) -Exercise preferences and energy level -Socialization with other pets or people Any commands or routines they respond well to the more I know upfront, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away.
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For dogs, that could mean neighborhood walks, playtime with their favorite toys, or relaxing in the sun together. I’m happy to play fetch, practice basic training commands, or just enjoy some quiet cuddle time if that’s more their style. For cats, I enjoy interactive play like wand toys, gentle brushing, and making sure they have cozy spots to nap or perch. I also respect their independence—giving them space to come to me on their terms while making sure they feel calm and comfortable. Whether it’s silly play, calm companionship, or enriching little routines, I make sure each visit includes connection, comfort, and care—just like you would if you were home.

Passionate Pet Lover
Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
Shanna was very friendly, professional, and took great care of my dog. I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Took great care, excellent communication, and timely. Would definitely recommend!
We have used Shanna multiple times for overnight stays and dog walking; we were lucky this week that we was available for a last minute request, she is awesome. Highly recommend.
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!
