Pet care experience
Second Den for your Furry Friend!
Ever met someone who'd choose the company of pets over people any day? Well, that's me. I'm naturally curious and always trying to understand why animals and people do the things they do. Getting to know their individual personalities has been a lifelong hobby, and I'd love the chance to get to know your pet's quirks! My pack currently includes Aurora, a goofy 2-year-old golden retriever bursting with love that she's too afraid to give, and Trillian, a wise but grumpy 14-year-old mini schnauzer mix who hates everyone but me and my husband (don't worry, she keeps to herself). The feline contingent is comprised of Sir Wilfred the Bleps, a distinguished 4-year-old tabby, and Speck, a 5-month-old Manx who is so weird that she's beyond description. I also have two spirited human boys who are 8 and 10.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shawna was awesome, very professional. Followed all our requests and took great care of our kitties. Sent information everyday and photos. Definitely recommend and will hire again.
Shawna was amazing with communication and Honey absolutely loved her! She took into consideration the heat and what would be safer for Honey’s paws and left me know how the walks were everyday and made me feel really at ease knowing Honey was safe while I was at work. Would definitely book with her again
Thank you for giving Buddy a fun environment to spend his day. Your location was ideal for our day of Bourbon tasting.
Thank you very much Shawna for taking such great care of our girls . We had peace of mind that they were in experienced, trustworthy, caring and attentive care . We will def use again when we come back to Kentucky to visit family . We loved our videos and pictures of how their day was going .
We were very comfortable with the safe, efficient daycare Shawna provided for our fur babies. We needed someone who could provide extra care as one dog was a senior and the other had some special needs/requests for care. Shawna responsibly provided great care. She communicated well before and during the care. Would definitely use her again.
We have a very spoiled doxie with some extra needs. We have extremely high standards on leaving him with anyone. (we worry about him being trouble and being safe). Having used Shawna in the past, she was the only one I trusted to keep him when I needed a recent surgery. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Gave good safe care, love, communication and was accommodating to any and all our requests and needs.

Schedule
I work from home so their day is my day! My older son gets on the bus on weekdays at 7am. I work and homeschool my younger son for most of the day. Evenings here are very relaxed and involve a lot of couch and tv or video game time. I am still a mom of kids so we occasionally have appointments and activities that take us away from the house. I either don't watch dogs on these days or I make sure you're aware and okay with that happening.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in backyard and live in a neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and a green space for pets that board or do daycare. I also love doing drop-ins and walks because it gets me out of the house!
Pets
A typical day
My dogs and boarders get let out every 2-3 hours. Depending on the weather we play in the backyard or if they enjoy Aurora she keeps them busy. Rainy days I try to do mental stimulation like food puzzles and games for the dogs that have energy they need to burn.
