Pet care experience

All pups are lifetime pack fam

I have had pets my entire life, and in adult life have fostered, adopted, trained, and cared for many animals including hospice, illness, old age, and puppies/kittens. Volunteered for many years with local animal shelter. Large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of room for play, relaxing, or isolation if desired/required. All are treated like my own.

Shawna is incredible!!! My dog has never been so calm walking into someone’s apt before! Preemptively for photos and reassurance the whole time. My dog looked so calm and thrilled the whole time and made other dog friends ❤️ would book a 1000 more times

Shawna was super responsive and took our sweet meadow in with short notice. Shawna sent me lots of videos and pictures of meadow who definitely had a blast playing with another dog She was taking care of. 10/10 Will book with Shawna again

Shawna sat for our two cats and was a fantastic sitter she was flexible and kept us updated, especially since this was the first time we left them for an extended period of time.

Shawna took great care of Albert! She sends updates frequently and I can tell Albert had a lot of fun with her and the other pops!

Shawna was great! Communicative, responsible, and made sure that Olaf had an absolute blast. Plus she was flexible when our flight home got cancelled. Can’t wait for the next time Olaf gets to stay with her! Thank you!!!

Schedule

Right now I am home 24/7 and have an online resale business, so only trips to the post office or for supplies fit into pet care routine.

Safety, trust & environment

We don't have a yard, but there is a small park right outside, on the waterfront, and next door has a large walk along the waterfront and around the building. My home is large, with lots of room for play, rest, isolation if requested/needed. 2 bedrooms with large main area, and plenty of sofa, dog beds, and 2 "human" beds. lol.

Pets

A typical day

Combination of long walks, and park play. Lots of toys, balls, games, etc. for indoor play - large apartment and hallways for running and playing with no worries (all sizes). Also lots of snuggling with them, loads of affection, and anything requested by you that they may need.

Let me know anything quirky (good or bad, haha) or unusual about them, and how they interact with other dogs on-leash or off. I can handle all.
