Reliable, Gentle & Caring Pet Care

Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover with years of professional experience working in the veterinary industry and running a successful doggy daycare. Today, I live a peaceful life on my narrowboat alongside my own two rescue "granny dogs" and our rescue chicken, Regina! While I don't own a cat right now, I grew up with them and have extensive experience handling all feline personalities from my years in vet clinics. I provide dedicated dog walking and drop-in visits for all dogs and cats, with a specialized focus on senior companions and rescue animals who need an experienced, gentle touch. Why choose me? Veterinary & First Aid Trained: Experienced to safely administer medications, manage strict health schedules, and spot early signs of medical distress. Expert Senior & Rescue Handling: Comfortable lifting large, elderly dogs with mobility issues, managing slow-paced walks, and safely handling feisty or anxious kitties. Patient & Trust-Based Approach: My experience with rescues has taught me how to read animal body language, letting shy pets warm up to me entirely at their own pace.I pride myself on maintaining your exact routine to keep stress levels low while you are out. If you would like to see photos and read reviews from my previous clients. Book a free Meet & Greet to see if I’m the perfect match for your furry family member!

Shanna is incredible with all animals. She is experienced and having worked at a vet for many years is intuitive to your animals needs and in touch with their bahviour. Your dogs will love her and will be grateful for the stimulation!

Fantastic pet sitting service! Shanna is the best dog sitter we have ever had! Shanna is very patient with senior dogs and took great care of Libi and Loki while we were away. Shanna made sure they both were comfortable, warm and happy. They were well looked after and had lots of exercises. Shanna sent us updates, videos and pictures every day. We could see the love, cuddles and pampering she was giving to our babies. Shanna is very professional, kind and caring. Thank you so much for looking after Libi and Loki.
