I’m currently in school on weekdays in the morning, but I’m available for walks and pet care after 3 PM. If you need overnight care, I can stay the night, make sure your pup is happy and comfortable, go to school in the morning, and come right back to care for them. I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care to fit your schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick to their routine as closely as possible—ensuring regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always keep the space clean and make sure pets have everything they need, from fresh water to cozy spots for resting. If a pet stays in my home, they’ll have a fun, welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family!

Information Shawnette G. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know important details to ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable. Things like their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs help me provide the best care possible. I also ask about their feeding schedule, medical history, medications, allergies, and any behavioral quirks—like if they’re shy, anxious, or not great with other dogs. Knowing their favorite activities, commands they respond to, and any house rules (like furniture restrictions) helps me keep things consistent. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels at ease and well cared for!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy with fun activities tailored to their energy levels and personalities! For high-energy dogs, I’ll take them on long walks, play fetch, or even go for a jog to help them burn off energy. If they love socializing, we can visit a dog park for some extra fun. For more relaxed or senior dogs, I’ll provide gentle strolls, cuddle time, and brain games like treat puzzles to keep them entertained. No matter the pet, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while in my care!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep passion and hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds. I volunteer at animal services, giving me valuable experience in handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. On top of that, I started my own dog-walking business, which has taught me how to provide personalized care and ensure every pup feels happy and safe. Whether it’s high-energy walks, extra patience with shy dogs, or simply showering them with love, I’m dedicated to making every pet’s experience the best it can be!
