I’m a full-time student currently completing my clinical rotations, so my schedule is pretty set. I’m available for morning and evening visits, which makes me a great fit for pets who just need two check-ins a day or regular walks. I can stop by before 8 a.m. and again after 5 p.m. to make sure your pets are fed, walked, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and know how important it is to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I always make sure pets are in a calm and secure environment. I follow any routines or instructions you share, keep things clean, and give plenty of love and attention so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!

Information Shawna K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or quirks that I should know about. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, but I always like to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. If there’s anything that helps them feel more comfortable or any medication they need, just let me know ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible.

A typical day

I love to keep pets active and happy. For dogs, that means walks, exploring new smells, playing games, and maybe a few cuddles if they’re up for it. For cats or smaller pets, I like to match their energy — playtime when they want it, quiet company when they need it. My goal is always to make each pet’s day a little brighter!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life and have been helping take care of them for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have always counted on me to walk, feed, and hang out with their pets while they’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a good game of fetch, or keeping up with their routines, I treat every animal like my own!

Shawna followed all instructions and took excellent care of my two boys. She did great with my cat’s insulin injection as well as kept them well fed and watered.

Shawna is very friendly and was great with my cats. She administered Tofu’s insulin correctly and took good care of my two boys!
