Pet care experience

Your furbaby is in good hands!

I have been taking care of my family and friends' dogs for over 30 years now and have decided to do this to help out family, friends and to meet new friends as well. I absolutely love animals, but dogs are the best! There is something about them that gives me peace, comfort and joy! I am available whenever you need, except when I travel. My apartment will only accommodate small and medium dogs. Preferably hypoallergenic. I would prefer meeting the dog prior to boarding. I have experience administering meds if needed. I do work during the day from home, so I will be home all day with my pups!! Special skills would be lots of loving and cuddling! :) I will love and care for your dog as if they were my own!

Dallas had a great time and was well loved. I recommend Shawanda at any time and we will definitely be calling on her again. She has a very sweet and loving disposition.

Shawanda is great with Sparkle. She treats her just like her own little baby. Sparkle loves going to her and gets excited as soon as she realizes we have pulled up in the parking lot. So much love they have for each other.

Shawanda and her daughter took good care of Prince. I was sent pictures of him which eased my mind that he was enjoying himself and when I picked him up, he was a happy camper.

Schedule

I work from home, so unless I need to run out or have an event, they will not be left alone for no more than 4 to 6 hours depending on the event. Generally speaking, I do not have that many events. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

I do have carpet and the majority of my dogs are crate trained for when I need to leave the house. Since I'm home, I will only need to crate if I can't take them with me. I do not want to risk any damages so this is non-negotiable. Crate-trained only.

A typical day

We like to go to Dairy Queen for pup cups and Starbucks for pupaccinos! We take trips to PetSmart and the boardwalk on the beach.

Takes only 1 client at a time
Shawanda can host up to 1 pet per night
I just need to know that the dogs are fixed, have flea and tick treatments and have all shots. They need to be fully potty trained (this is not negotiable). I am not able to watch puppies that are not fully potty trained. I would need to know if they are crate trained and comfortable in a crate or a pen when I go out. They must get along with other dogs.
