Hi! I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing compassionate, dependable care. My career has taught me the value of patience, trust, and creating a calm, supportive environment—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I offer evening dog walks after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their dogs get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. 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.

About Shawna P.

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.

Information Shawna P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care while you’re away. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, medications, allergies, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with other people or animals.

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.

Pet care experience

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.
