Shona was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and made sure all of our babies were well taken care of. She went above and beyond by staying past the scheduled time because it was thundering, knowing that one of my babies gets scared during storms. That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. She stayed in touch throughout her entire visit, sending photos and regular updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Shona again. Highly recommend!

If there were 100 stars, Shona would get them all! My fiancé and I had Shona dog sit our young puppy while we were out of town. Upon the meet and greet, Shona and Beans instantly bonded! It couldn’t have been more clear that Shona loves animals and cares for them as her own! We got multiple updates, texts, and videos throughout the week! We couldn’t be more grateful to have someone as loving and thorough as Shona is! Anyone would be lucky to have her as a dog sitter!

Shona was amazing with Madison for the 4 days we were away. Madison has severe separation anxiety and Shona spent quality time loving her, playing with her and giving her the attention she truly needed. Once Madison warmed up to her, they were great friends. I would not hesitate to recommend Shona for any dog sitting opportunities.

Shona was a wonderful pet and house sitter! She loved on our pets as if they were her own, sending regular updates and photos. She immediately connected with their personalities. We loved that she was able to be with them all day, as she works from home, so she was able to work from here. We will definitely use her services again and again, and cannot recommend her highly enough!!

My clumsy dog had a bit of an ouchy through no fault of Shona. Shona was very detailed about her injury and took great care of her, she even followed up the next day. As always, such a great experience with her watching Audrey!

Shona is super friendly, communicates very well! Audrey absolutely adored her and I have a peace of mind knowing this while I’m traveling for work. She provided lots of picture, inquired on specific directive to ensure Audrey was happy, and asked insightful questions regarding Audrey’s behavior and habits.
