Safety, trust & environment
My mother, who is also a Reiki Master, lives with me and loves to help with our guests and keep everyone company. She says she is everyone’s “Oma.” ❤️ Our home is a safe place with warmth and care, and your animals will feel this during their stay! 🥰
Home
Information Shawna R. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with all breeds. I previously shared my home with a Siberian husky and deaf dalmatians and have a soft spot for special needs pets. I currently have a senior basenji mix. Before booking a service, I will discuss your dog's personality and quirks with you to understand all of his/her likes and dislikes. I will ask about any stress triggers, especially things like thunderstorms or other noises, and of course any medical issues or allergies to be aware of.
A typical day
In addition to providing exercise, I strive to create a peaceful environment and experience for my clients' pets. It is already hard for them to be without their owners, so my goal is to reduce stress, leaving them more at ease than they were before I arrived. As a Reiki Master Practitioner and Certified Dog Trainer, I consider every interaction that I have with an animal to be sacred and valuable, both from a behavioral perspective and an energetic one!

Pet care experience
Holistic in-home boarding retreat! Daily exercise, safe socialization, playtime, cuddles, flower essences, and more! Special programs are now available such as 1) CAMP - trail hikes, biking, treadmill, agility, field trips 2) TRAINING TUNE UP - training lessons each day, focusing on basic manners, leash walking, recall, impulse control, and conditioned relaxation. 3) SPA RETREAT - canine massage, Reiki energy healing, red light therapy, and extra cuddles 1:1 time In most cases, I require a Meet and Greet/Trial Day to ensure that your pup will do well in my home. We chat about your dog and then you leave for an hour or so (good opportunity to run errands!). After this, I become your dog’s safe home away from home when you need it! 😊❤️ If you are not local and looking for care while you visit the Hi-Desert, let me know, and we can see if it seems like a good fit. 😊 ** LOCATED JUST MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN JOSHUA TREE AND THE NATIONAL PARK
Reviews



Wonderful human! Reliable & compassionate. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our kitties when we are away. Highly recommend!

Best there is in the Morongo Basin. Shawna is the most capable dog sitter I have ever used. Highly recommend her.

Great dog sitter. Very patient and friendly with our super skittish dog. She took her on a hikes and helped socialize her a bit more for a few days. Definitely will come back next visit.

Shawna had great communication. She was professional and responsive. Her space and routine was a great fit for our pup, Buddha. I felt Shawna well cared for Buddha.
