Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

Shantalee takes excellent care of my animals and leaves me with great peace of mind while I’m away. I can’t recommend them enough.

This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!

Shantalee did an amazing job taking care of our dog and cat! She gave them affection, communicated well, and was so respectful of our home. We look forward to having her stay again to watch our pets!

Shantalee took excellent care of my cat and dog over the weekend and I was so grateful that they were available to pet sit for me. Shantalee is extremely responsible and trustworthy and left my home in great condition. I would recommend them to anyone.
