I work from home, so I’m around all day and love having pets as part of my routine. My schedule is steady but flexible, which means I can easily adjust to each pet’s needs. I like starting the day with a walk or some playtime and taking plenty of breaks for cuddles, outdoor time, or just keeping a pup company. Caring for animals fits naturally into my life, it’s something I truly enjoy.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding schedule, favorite walking route, or bedtime routine. I keep communication open with pet parents and send plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind.

Your Pup’s New Best Friend

Pet care experience

I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including my own shih tzu who was with me for 16 wonderful years. Working with the Michigan Humane Society’s Dog Day Getaway taught me how to handle pups of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I specialize in gentle senior care, patient puppy training, and making every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s slow walks for seniors or playful zoomies for puppies, I meet every dog where they’re happiest.

Shanta was great with Marty! We had a call beforehand to talk about his habits and preferences, which made me very comfortable. Marty seemed comfortable with her right away. We will definitely book with Shanta again!
