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!!

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.

Shawonika is a caring, attentive, and dependable pet caregiver. I’ve personally seen how naturally she connects with dogs, especially smaller breeds. My Cavapoo is always excited to see her and feels completely comfortable in her presence, which says a lot about her calm and positive energy. She is patient, responsible, and takes the time to make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I would absolutely trust her with dogs that thrive in a nurturing and attentive environment.

Shawonika is a great individual, and even better pet parent! I call her the dog whisperer! She has taken such great care of my pups, and is a big lover of animals all around. She takes great care of my pups when I am out of town, and when she comes to visit. I will always recommend Shawonika as my pups’ sitter. Your animals are in good hands with Shawonika!
