Fenced yard, grew up with animals

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and dogs as my playmates, so my true years of care are almost all of my life. I lost my pet, JoJo, June 2025, but as a pet owner, I understand the companionship and happiness they bring and would love to make sure they are taken care of in your absence. My backyard is fenced in so there is room for them to run around and get some fresh air. I have had to go away and leave my pet in someone else's care, so I truly understand the emotions that are felt. I am here to relieve some of those anxieties. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your pet, and thanks for taking the time to read my profile! Have a nice day!

Our pup always has a great time when he’s with Ms. Shonta. We appreciate the pictures that she sends during his stay. Thanks again!

Another great stay! Always nice to see my fur baby bouncing into my arms when I return to take him home, the same way he bounced into Shonta's when I dropped him off:) It's a good feeling!

This was my puppy’s first time away from my son and me, and I was a little nervous at first. However, Shonta kept me updated daily on how she was doing, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in her care. The regular updates brought peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was throughout. I’m truly grateful!
