Availability
Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).

Information Shawna B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs (such as crates, separate space from high energy dog for potty breaks, etc) so that I can plan accordingly and make sure everyone is safe and happy for their stay!
A typical day
The day starts with Libby doing her jumps and twirls in the day excited to run her morning laps around the backyard. She occasionally gets distracted with that darn squirrel who taunts her from the top of our fence. She will undoubtedly attempt to get your pup to join in on her shenanigans (such as running laps around the trailer, and exploring all the fun spots in the backyard. We play ball for a bit and then head inside for breakfast. After breakfast, Libby digs through her toy bins and comes to remind me that I’m not allowed to work for longer than a few minutes without giving belly rubs or playing with her toys. She lays on the couch while I’m working on the computer. Libby usually presses her “outside potty” button, and we head outside to get some Vitamin D. At this point, she’s usually tuckered and will take a nap while I head out. I’m usually gone for no longer than 2-3 hours at a time and will make sure all of your pups needs are met right before leaving, and upon my return. My brother will usually play ball with her outside and give the pups plenty of attention and playtime. Dinner time happens, and then we all hang out in the living room with the pups. Before bed, we go outside for one more play session, and then grab a snack (chicken foot, freeze dried sardines or salmon bits, strawberries, or peanut butter) and then head to bed. I would love to say my dog uses her fancy bed, however prefers to be cuddled up on the pillow beside me. Your pup will most likely be right beside her, however will have their bed in the room in case they need their space.

Pets
Large fenced yard, dogs are family!
Pet care experience
My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away!
Cat care experience
Shawna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Shawna was absolutely amazing with Huggy! She took such great care of him while I was away for a few days, and her daily updates and photo check-ins gave me total peace of mind. Communication was super easy from start to finish, which made the whole boarding process completely stress-free. I’d trust her with Huggy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!
Shawna was great to work with! She was very thorough in making sure our dog would be safe and was a good fit for her home. Her dog is extremely friendly and was a great playmate! Shawna communicated promptly and provided updates throughout the booking and stay. She even bathed our dog before pickup, so despite all the outdoor playtime, our dog looked and smelled clean when we picked her up! I highly recommend Shawna to anyone looking for peace of mind and a fun, comfortable stay for their dog!
I really enjoyed booking with Shawna! Her house was probably the cleanest dog sitter house I’ve seen in Gainesville. I appreciate her timeliness in response and how many items she has to take care of the dogs. There was a slight mishaps where bearbear got the the trash, but she told me right away and was thorough enough that I could easily call the vet (it was not a big deal)
Great with my high energy pup. She makes sure that every stay is safe and fun for the dogs. Bonus points for giving my dog a slow feeder puzzle with pumpkin puree. Great communicator, responsible and punctual. She really cares for your dogs as if it were her own.
