Information Shawonika E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs or routines. I know some pets like special gravy on their food or ice in their water maybe even frozen bananas for a midday treat. Let me know what your fur baby needs

A typical day

I have toys from my late dog for a day(s) of stimulation and dog TV for nap time! I love long walks for new scents the pups can explore. There’s a nice park with a walking trail right across the street..

Pet care experience

I have always grown up with pets since I was able to walk. Dogs are my favorite thing in life!! I recently had to send my dog to heaven and haven’t been quite ever to get over it. I still have his toy and often pet sit for family and friends to try and fill the void. This will give me just that!!

Shawonika was absolutely AMAZING! It was my first time leaving Blitz with a sitter and I was so nervous but Shawonika eased all of my fears. She was so communicative and attentive. She was able to accommodate me for a last minute out of town trip and took amazing care of my baby. She sent me updates and pictures and stayed in contact while I was out of town. Blitz had a GREAT time with her and even seemed like he didn’t want to leave! I can tell he totally missed her when he left. Shawonika also did an amazing job of keeping him entertained and expending all of his high energy! I would 100% use her again and again. Shawonika thank you thank you! You’re the best! Blitz misses you already! I can’t wait to book you again!

Shawonkia was amazing. Gave us daily updates and was very communicative. Our Dallas was happy to see me but, not ready to leave.

My dog Deuce had his first stay with Shawonika and she took excellent care of him. She checked in every day, sent tons of photos, and made me feel completely at ease. I’ll definitely book with her again.

I had a great experience with Shawonika. She was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. From the start, she made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My dog warmed up to her quickly and seemed happy and relaxed the entire time. I also appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Overall, she is a reliable and caring sitter who treats your pet like her own. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future.
