About Shawneen W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard and live close to some lovely trails. I tend to leave the patio door open so they can go in and out as they want, but will modify that if a dog requires more 'oversight'. Pets have run of the house so I let them go where they are comfortable. Unless specifically directed, I don't crate dogs. My general philosophy is that dogs are part of the family so I treat them like that. However, if a pet parent has specific instructions (like not getting on furniture) I honour their requests.
Home
Information Shawneen W. would like to know about your pet
Because I do work from home, I cannot provide constant attention but I have looked after dogs with a variety of energy levels. I tend to have multiple dogs at one time so it is important that they get along with other dogs.
A typical day
I have a big back yard that the dogs have constant access to, as well as a variety of toys. Depending on the time I take the dogs on sniffer walks to the nearby pond.

I'll love your pet as much as mine
Pet care experience
I have had pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with a wide range or animals, but I really love dogs and cats. Pets are family and I will love yours like my own. I have experience administering topical and oral medications as well.
Reviews

Freddie was well taken care and returned to us happy and healthy!
Kept me notified how my little guy was doing, which was important. He sometimes has separation anxiety, but I think Shawneen, her daughter, and the other dogs kept him busy. Thanks!

Great communication. Easy to coordinate daycare with Shawneen


Shawneen was very accommodating and clearly very relaxed around dogs. My Westies had a good day, and they were both tired when they got home. A bonus that there were a couple of other dogs to play with. I would definitely recommend Shawneen to other pet parents and will connect with Shawneen again when the need arises. She is in a good location for me. Kathy K
