Pet care experience

Im a fun, energetic, animal lover!

Owners will love most that I take pleasure in spoiling their dog while the pet is away from home. I enjoy taking care of & spending time with animals, especially dogs. I grew up with dobermans, so I learned at an early age what goes into proper pet care, time, and attention. I'll treat my client's dogs in the same loving manner that I treat my own dogs. Your dogs will be spoiled in my care, be safe, and have lots of fun! Because I am a dog owner, I have good instincts when it comes to what dogs need & when they need it. Your dogs will enjoy several walks throughout the day, be fed on the same feeding schedule you use in your home, and have plenty of time to run around, play, and enjoy themselves in my fenced in backyard.

Miss Shonta is wonderful! She has watched our Seema for us several times, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in her care. She keeps us updated throughout the day with photos and is always so kind, caring, and attentive.

Shonta was very nice, responsive, and welcoming. She sent me pictures every day and checked in with me while I was away, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her 100%.

I want to be sure owners are maintaining proper flea & hearworm control for their dogs and whether females have been spayed. I want to know if dogs are friendly with other dogs and are not aggressive towards adults. I would prefer dogs are housebroken; however, its not mandatory & I want to be sure the dogs aren't biters with other pets or adults.
