Shontaeia can care for
Availability
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I often say they understand me better than most people. I feel at peace and truly myself around them. I currently have four cats who are my world, and I take their care very seriously. Pet care fits easily into my daily life, and I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule right now. While I do have a few vacations planned this summer and am a college student, I work remotely from my MacBook and can often adjust around client needs.

About Shontaeia R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take a calm, patient approach when meeting and caring for pets. I never rush interactions. instead, I read their body language and use gentle cues (plus a few treats) to build trust. I carefully follow any instructions you provide and tailor my routine to each pet’s needs, including potty breaks and walks that can range from 10 minutes to an hour. Whether I’m in your home or hosting your pet, their comfort and safety always come first.
Information Shontaeia R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, habits, or things they don’t like. I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and heard. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets, so I’ll always take things at their pace.
A typical day
I love to get your dogs moving and thinking. We’ll play games, sniff around the neighborhood, and maybe visit a park if they’re up for it. I adjust things based on their energy and mood, so they always feel comfortable and happy.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Tay. I’m licensed, insured, and CPR + first aid certified. I have had dogs my whole life, for 21 years, and I have been a cat mom for the last two. For the past five years, I have worked professionally with pets of all sizes, from 10-pound lap dogs to 110-pound giants. I am very familiar with breeds like German Shepherds and Chow Chows, but I enjoy connecting with every pet I meet. I have hands-on experience with senior pets, special diets, and giving both pill and liquid medications. I have also helped manage tricky behaviors, like leash pulling or keeping pets from eating things they should not. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer because I can read animal moods easily and adjust to what each one needs, whether that is play, calm, or comfort.

Reviews
Shontaeia gave us so much peace of mind with the care she provided to our senior cat! Our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and has been on a new medication, and Shontaeia was attentive to this and extremely reliable in administering the right dose at the right time for this and a separate med. And photos and report with each drop-in visit! We came home to a happy cat!
Shontaeia took amazing care of my two cats! She was great at communicating with me as well as giving them each love and attention.
Shontaeia was great! A huge help while we were out of town, I was given pictures and videos and the whole run down after the visit. I definitely would recommend her to anyone and will be a returning customer whenever we need her!
She crushed it. My dogs are such high energy and she took amazing care of both of them.
