Loving care when you're not there

Pet care experience

Animals have been apart of my life ever since I was born!!! My family has owned everything from your common dogs and cats to aquatic life and even exotics!! I guess you can say I was born to be your regular Dr. Doolittle. I started taking care of animals at the age of 11 when I obtained my first horse. It was then that I learned the importance of feeding schedules, nutrition and clean up duty. I even had a hand in giving vaccinations. By the time I graduated high school, I was responsible for the daily care of 7 horses. I continued to explore my love for everything animals by obtaining my bachelor's in animal science with a focus in veterinary medicine. During that time I also worked and volunteered at animal hospitals in order to gain the hands on experience of administering medications orally, in the muscle and by IV as well as animal handling.

Shatara was such a great fit for my fur baby! I loved that she requested a meet and greet before providing care, it helped ease my anxiety with having to leave him. I will definitely be booking again as needed.

Love her she took really good care of my kitten! She also kept me updated so I didn't have to wonder what was going on with my kitten. Very kind, professional easy-going lady! I will be using her in the future!

Shatara was wonderful. She dropped in and gave the boys love and attention while we were out of town. We will definitely hire her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for animals in or out of the clients' home, the goal is to keep the animal as comfortable as possible. I require an interview to meet the pets and their owners prior to sitting to gain a feel of the environment, the pet parents and fur babies. I also take this time to learn the daily routine and answer any questions. I have beds, crates, toys, treats, anything to cater to your critter. There's daily playtime at the dog parks to ensure your buddy gets plenty of exercise. Each dog walk experience is tailored to the specific personality of the dog. Whether they like to play in groups or one on one treatment, there's something for everyone.

Information Shatara C. would like to know about your pet

Every pet comes with its own quirks and I want to know yours. Please let me know if there is something that your pet isn't fond of ahead of time. I don't want to do anything accidentally that could cause your pet to be uneasy.

A typical day

A typical day with me watching your furry friend consists of adventure overload!! First there are dog parks located within 10 minutes from me to go and explore. I also like to throw in a treat of letting them explore the horses in the pasture (of course from the safety of a fence between them and the horse). I also have all sorts of toys for them to play with by themselves or with me.
