Availability

During the day I work as a solution engineer, so my preferred schedule works best for morning and evening drop-ins or walks at your home, along with more flexible availability on weekends. This schedule allows me to provide consistentg, reliable care during the times pets often need it most—morning routines, evening walks, feedings, and companionship. Because I prioritize quality care and personalized attention, I intentionally keep my client list limited so every pet receives the time and care they deserve.

Information Shantina G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are specifics in taking care of your fur baby that I should know about. I love organized lists with care instructions and to make sure we have a mutual plan prior to commitment.

A typical day

I love exercise so walking or running with your pet is definitely on the plan for a typical day if they enjoy it as well. I love playing ball or frisbee at the park and also enjoy walks either down by the beach or on the trails for a more chill type of walk. Cuddles on the couch with a good show is always great too with lots of love and pets.

Pet care experience

I provide thoughtful, attentive care for pets of all kinds, with a special soft spot for senior animals. I’m very detail-oriented and genuinely enjoy following specific care routines so pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I pride myself on providing a calm, organized environment and treating each home with the same care and respect I would my own. I naturally keep a clean, tidy space and am always happy to handle light housekeeping related to your pet’s care. Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up, my mom worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me an early appreciation for attentive, knowledgeable animal care. Clear communication is a big part of the experience I provide. You can expect detailed updates along with photos and videos so you can feel completely at ease and connected to your pet while you’re away. During the day I work as a solution engineer, so my availability is typically mornings, evenings, and weekends—perfect for walks, check-ins, and dependable routine care. Because I prioritize quality care and personalized attention, I intentionally keep my client list limited so every pet receives the time and care they deserve.

Shantina did a great job watching our senior cat! She was flexible with making pre-trip arrangements, she sent updates, and she made sure to give our kitty her daily meds and some much needed attention and brushing while we were away.

Shantina did a wonderful job watching our kitty cat! She let him outside for supervised play and made sure all the instructions were followed. We know our little guy was well taken care of!

Shantina provided exceptional care for Diesel throughout the week. Her flexibility and genuine love for animals truly stands out. I felt completely at ease knowing Diesel was in great hands. I will highly recommend her to friends and family.

Shantina was absolutely wonderful! She sent me a ton of pictures and detailed updates after every visit which really put my mind at easy while i was gone. My dog, Pierre, was so happy and relaxed when i got home, which is the best sign i could ask for. Highly recommend her services, i will definitely be using her again!
