Pamper Your Pets with Love and Care

Pet care experience

Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of forming close bonds with a diverse array of dog and cat companions. This firsthand experience has given me valuable insight into the unique needs and behaviors of different breeds and personalities. Whether it's providing enriching playtime for energetic pups or offering soothing companionship to shy or senior cats, I understand the individualized care required to ensure their well-being and happiness. My deep connection with these beloved animals has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy needed to properly care for them, making me a reliable and compassionate caretaker for your cherished pets.

Shauna has a deep love of all animals. When she takes care of my dogs she takes her time to play and show love for them. She knows what they like and what to do for them. She is the only one I trust with my babies.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for my own pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else. I provide them with love, attention, and compassionate care, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met. Additionally, I understand the importance of discipline and training, as I have successfully addressed and corrected challenging behaviors through patient and extensive training methods. In caring for other people's pets, I apply the same level of love, compassion, and dedication that I give to my own animals. I am committed to fulfilling every request made by the pet owner, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same standard of care that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it's adhering to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, providing regular exercise, or addressing any behavioral issues, I approach each pet with empathy and respect, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for them. By leveraging my personal experiences and the high standards I hold for my own pets, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of every animal in my care. I am dedicated to building trust with both the pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and a sense of security while they are in my care.

Information Shauna W. would like to know about your pet

As a pet sitter, knowing important information about the pet before the initial event and suggesting a meet and greet are crucial for several reasons: 1. Pet's Needs: Understanding the pet's specific needs, habits, and routines allows you to provide appropriate care and ensure the pet's well-being while the owner is away. This includes information about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, any medical conditions, and special instructions for their care. 2. Safety and Comfort: Meeting the pet beforehand allows you to establish a rapport and build trust with the animal. This can be particularly important for pets that may be anxious or wary of new people. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to identify any potential safety concerns in the pet's environment and address them before the pet-sitting begins. 3. Owner's Peace of Mind: Meeting the pet owner and their pet in advance helps to build a relationship based on trust and professionalism. It allows the owner to see how their pet interacts with you and gives them confidence that their pet will be in good hands while they are away. 4. Clarify Expectations: A meet and greet provides an opportunity to discuss the owner's expectations in detail, including any specific requirements or preferences they have for the care of their pet. This ensures that both parties are on the same page and helps to avoid misunderstandings later on. Overall, gathering important information about the pet and suggesting a meet and greet not only allows you to provide better care for the pet but also helps to establish a positive and professional relationship with the pet owner, leading to a successful pet-sitting experience for all involved.

A typical day

As a pet sitter, there are many fun activities I can do with the pets I’m caring for. Here are some ideas for fun and engaging activities: 1. Playtime: Engage the pet in interactive play sessions using toys such as balls, ropes, or interactive puzzle toys. You can also play games like fetch with dogs or interactive laser pointer games with cats. 2. Exercise: Take dogs for walks or runs in the neighborhood or at a nearby park. Regular exercise is not only beneficial for the pet's physical health but also provides mental stimulation and a chance for them to explore new environments. 3. Training: Use positive reinforcement techniques to teach pets new tricks or reinforce existing commands. Training sessions can be mentally stimulating for pets and help strengthen the bond between you and the pet. 4. Puzzle Toys: Use puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys to provide mental stimulation for dogs and cats. These toys can challenge pets to problem solve and keep them entertained while their owners are away. 5. Grooming: Offer grooming sessions such as brushing, bathing, or nail trimming, depending on the pet's needs and preferences. Many pets enjoy being groomed, and it can be a bonding experience for both you and the pet. 6. Relaxation Time: Spend quality time with the pet by simply sitting and petting them or providing a calming massage. This can be particularly beneficial for anxious pets and can help them feel more at ease in your presence.
