Information Shawna W. would like to know about your pet

I can keep small to medium breeds. I am not physically strong enough to handle anything over 65lbs, unless it has exceptional leash manners and/or recall. I have 5 dogs of my own, so your dog must be friendly with other dogs. I love communication! So, please share anything unique about your dog: any allergies, personality, routine, favorite activities--anything to help me make their stay more happy and comfortable. I am very open to do meet and greets before booking your dog's first stay with me. Please plan to stay no less than 1/2 an hour, if you come for a meet and greet. I look forward to meeting you and your babies! Due to recent events and education, I will now be requesting proof of vaccination at the time of drop-off. For the safety of both your dogs and mine, I will only be able to keep fully vaccinated dogs in the future. Thank you.

A typical day

I love to take long nature walks on our personal wooded trail. I have a large field for playing fetch as well. On rainy days and for exceptionally busy dogs, I have treat puzzles and lick mats available. I have balls and assorted toys as well. I also have small pools and plenty of fresh spring water for water play if your dog likes to swim.

Wonderful Wilderness Boarding

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs since I was about 14 years old. I have had different breeds from dachshund to now Australian Cattle dog. I currently own 3 ACDs, an English setter/Feist, and a senior long-haired Chihuahua.I have raised and sold two litters of puppies. I have good relationships with all my clients. I still have a group chat including most of my puppy owners. I enjoy communication with everyone I work with. I like to send daily pictures and updates. I have trained puppies successfully. I love dogs! I also have lots of experience with after spay/neuter care. If you need someone to care for your pet while they are recovering from surgery, I am happy to help! Most importantly, I am a Christian. I strive to do all things to the glory of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Shawna is amazing. She has a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, took my dog on daily walks on a beautiful trail, and let my dog find her happy place at all times throughout the day and night. She loves animals, knows how to serve their needs, and brought us relief that all was going well by sending us updates with photos and videos. We will be using Shawna again without a doubt. Thank you so much Shawna!

Shawna, is an excellent dog sitter. She goes above and beyond and exceeds expectations constantly. She has kept my dogs for an extended stay while I was recovering from a hip replacement surgery that got infected. I can’t say enough about the care she gives to each dog daily. You definitely will not go wrong by picking her. She and her family are a blessing to me.

If you are looking for someone to love and care for your fur baby, Shawna is your person. She is truly gifted with kindness and patience. I just picked up my Bella (Husky) and I'm not 100% sure she wanted to leave. LOL. Shawna has a doggy playground, complete with a wading pool, she has a beautiful walking trail she walks them on daily, she even vacuumed my Bella. I forgot to mention, the day before I dropped Bella off, she injured herself causing her to get a couple of stiches. I called Shawna and she said no problem, I can take care of her. She did an amazing job and I felt good with leaving Bella with Shawna. Bella had no anxiety at all. So blessed and grateful for you Shawna, thank you. See you soon. (Yes, Shawna is keeping Bella while we go on vacation in June) James 1:17
