Pet care experience

Reliable Walks. Loving Weekend Stay

What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way.

Shawna has cared for my 2 dogs many times. She is very responsible with pets and truly loves them. Shawna has great communication and is very responsive.

Shawna cares deeply for animals and anyone would be lucky enough to have her watch their animals. She has grown up and been around animals her whole life and loves each and every animal with her whole heart. Out of everyone, Shawna is a person I would recommend to watch my animals. She is a very responsible, respectfully, and kind person and any pet would be lucky to spend time with her.

Schedule

Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality, energy level, and owner’s preferences. We can enjoy neighborhood walks, sniff adventures where they can safely explore and use their senses, playtime with their favorite toys, games of fetch (if appropriate), and plenty of one-on-one attention.
