Playful, Loving Care for Your Pets!
Pet care experience
I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me!

Reviews
Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.
Shawna has house-sat and pet-sat for me for many years. She is absolutely wonderful with animals. Incredibly trustworthy and reliable! We love her so much, and our pets do too!
I can’t recommend Shawna enough! She’s incredibly gentle, kind, and truly loves all animals. My dog absolutely adores her! Shawna is patient and caring. She is like a fairy dog-mother. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Shawna’s the one.
Shawna is a pet whisperer! Shawna is absolutely amazing! She has been watching my sassy beagle-basset hound for years, even through the chaotic, chew-everything-in-sight puppy stage — and she’s been nothing short of incredible every single time. Her patience, love, and calm energy are unmatched. My dog absolutely adores her, and I always know he's in the best hands. Shawna is also one of the very few people my feisty (and honestly, kind of mean) cat tolerates — which speaks volumes. Shawna always keeps me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which makes me feel totally at ease when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely amazing with all kinds of pet personalities, Shawna is your person. She’s reliable, communicative, and truly treats your pets like they’re her own. I couldn’t imagine a better petsitter. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it — your pets will thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town.
