Reliable and Caring Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I want to make you and your pet happy. I will gladly work with you to meet the individual needs of your pet and will happily communicate to you while they are in my care. I understand every pet is different and will do whatever is needed to ensure happiness for you and your fur baby! I adore animals and will treat your pet like my own. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, ferrets, hedgehogs, and horses. I grew up with a Siberian Husky and have cared for multiple breeds over the years in all sizes from Pomeranian to German Shepherd. I currently have a hedgehog named Snuffles and a horse named Kismet. I am available to watch your horse as well! If your pet requires special needs and care, they will be in good hands with me. I will handle medications or special instructions with patience and care. I am open to caring for all types of animals. I have been around animals my whole life and even studied Veterinary Technology and had a job at an Emergency Vet office as an Vet Tech assistant. I have volunteered a couple different animal rescues over multiple summers as well. I also started my own pet care business in my neighborhood when I was just 10 years old. I have had such a passion for animals my whole life. I enjoy all animals and look forward to meeting yours!

Shawna was an amazing pet sitter for Ash! Ash has end stage CKD, so it is stressful to leave him as he requires a lot of TLC. I appreciate how careful, and meticulous she was with all his medical and food needs. It is clear she has experience with giving cats oral meds and was able to administer his subcutaneous fluids without stressing him out. She was patient and loving towards Ash, taking her time with him and sending many pictures and updates every time she came to visit. Shawna was also flexible and able to add an extra visit on top of what I had requested. I would highly recommend Shawna as a pet sitter!

Shawna is a wonderful pet sitter!! She took excellent care of our furry crew while we were out of the country for 11 days, and sent sweet, detailed updates and photos that helped us feel more at ease about being away. She also managed the crew with grace, entertaining an active puppy with lots of fun walks and hikes (despite multiple rainy days), while also giving lots of love and care to two senior kitties (ages 18 and 19). She was incredibly conscientious during about our initial meet and greet, and even did a follow-up visit with us to get to know the crew before starting and to make sure she had all the information she needed. The best review was from our animals, who were all totally relaxed and happy when we returned! She also took great care of the house: watering plants, bringing in the mail, washing sheets and towels, and leaving everything clean and welcoming for us. I will definitely request her services again anytime I am going out of town, and I highly recommend her!

Shawna was amazing! Having just moved here and needing to travel for work she calmed my nerves and took great care of Jolene. I cannot recommend or thank Shawna enough!

Shawna was great! My kitty immediately ran up to greet her during the meet and greet, which was so sweet! She sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away and it was clear my cat adored her. Thank you, Shawna!
