Paws & Playtime — Your Pet’s new BF

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a cozy nap buddy. I’ve provided everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication management. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch marathons, or quiet cuddle time, I’ve got it covered!

I stick to their routines, offer plenty of playtime and affection, and ensure your home stays secure while you’re away. From daily visits to overnight stays, I bring peace of mind with regular updates and a strong focus on your pet’s well-being and safety.

Shona does a great job. Princess is well taken care of when we go out of town and Shona comes to visit her.

I declare, with full confidence and zero hesitation, that my wife would be an exceptional pet sitter. In fact, she’s not just good with animals—she thrives around them. That’s why we lovingly call her “Ellie Mae”, a nickname earned from her lifelong passion for animals and her almost magical ability to connect with every creature, great and small. Over the years, Shona has cared for an impressive variety of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, lizards, turtles, axolotls—you name it, she’s probably loved it (and given it a cute name). She has a heart for animals that is as big as her smile, and an instinctive understanding of how to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving meds, going for long walks, or just curling up for some good old cuddle time, Shona is reliable, gentle, and full of love. Anyone who leaves their pets in her care can rest easy knowing they’re in the hands of someone who treats every animal like family. Sincerely, [A very proud and slightly jealous husband of all the animals who get to spend time with her]
