Pet care experience

Trusted Care for Happy Tails!

I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have always had a deep love and respect for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, an adult dog, or a senior pet that needs extra patience and gentle care, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands.

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Shawnayah was dependable, kind, and clearly loves animals. She made sure my pet had fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and everything they needed during the drop-in visit. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely book with Shawnayah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.

Shawnayah, you are truly a cat whisperer! My cat can be a bit particular, especially with her special needs, but you handled her with such grace and expertise. It's clear you have a genuine love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in your hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry friend!

Shawnayah, you were an absolute lifesaver with my dog! Their medical needs are pretty intense, but you handled everything with such care and precision. I never had to worry, and that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you for being so amazing!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply companionship. I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine and provide attentive, reliable care whenever they need it, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and are always supervised in a safe environment. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and favorite activities. Once they’re comfortable, our days are filled with fun and enrichment! We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy—whether that’s getting the zoomies out at the dog park or safely playing in my fully fenced yard. I also love keeping pets mentally engaged with interactive activities, puzzle games, and enrichment exercises. One of my favorite things is teaching new tricks using positive reinforcement, and of course, celebrating their success with plenty of praise and treats (if approved by you!). My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

Before each stay or visit, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet so I can provide the best possible care. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any commands they know. It’s also important to share any medications, allergies, medical conditions, fears or anxieties (such as thunderstorms or fireworks), behavioral quirks, and how they interact with other people and animals. I also appreciate knowing what treats they’re allowed to have, where their supplies are kept, emergency contact information, and your veterinarian’s information. The more I know about your pet’s needs and personality, the more comfortable, safe, and happy I can make their time with me.
