Pet care experience
Hello my name is Shawna! I live with my husband, our 3 boys under 5, and our 10 year old dog Zoe. I have many years of dog and farm animal experience. I live on just over an acre of land in the Ranchettes which is a rural neighborhood 5 miles from Punta Gorda Airport.. Our entire property is fenced (even the driveway) and the gate is always shut so no need to worry about your dog running off. Our family loves to be outside with the dogs. If it is a hot day we make sure the dogs don’t stay out too long at a time and keep them hydrated. We play fetch or just let the dogs explore and enjoy the outdoors. While inside the dogs will be allowed to roam freely and given plenty of attention and treated like our own. Zoe loves to bark at people and their dogs when they first arrive but she is friendly and loves the chance to socialize and play with other dogs. I am able to be home all but 2 days a week which are Wednesday and Thursday. I am gone for 7 hours those days but able to come home after 4 hours to give dogs a bathroom break. I ask for puppies who are not fully housebroken to be crate trained at night.
Reviews
Shawna was very communicative with responding to messages and sending pictures.I was very comfortable with her care of Maddy and it freed me up not to think about her as we where moving in from another state. It as nice to know her yard was secure so I did not have to think of Maddy running out a door and away. I would use Shawna again.
Shawna was a wonderful communicator ! I received updates and pictures during Dax's stay and he seemed very "at home" there. Shawna and her family kept Dax company and gave him the run of the house and treated him as their own. Dax came home happy and sleepy. Highly recommend and will use her again. Thank you Shawna for taking care of my fur baby.
Shawna and her family were absolutely wonderful with Charlie! Great property for animals. Really appreciated them taking time to play fetch & send videos/pics each day…also the ability and willingness to take him last minute for us! Will def use again.
Our dog looked great after picking her up. Shawna was a great communicater. We would use her again.

Information shawna J. would like to know about your pet
I can not take agressive dogs and dogs who aren’t good with kids around. I Need to know if your dog will try and escape the fence such as dig or jump the fence. Will they come back inside if called? If not they will need to be leash walked. We are always outside with the dogs but our fenced in area is large. Does your dog have any unusual quirks ?
A typical day
walks or free range in large fenced in area. Plenty of down time relaxing freely in the house. Lots of attention given by us and the kids
