🦋👋🏾 Hi Pet Parents, I’m Shontel, a work-from-home premium pet sitter based in Los Angeles🌴 I offer a crate-free, cage-free, structured & gentle care environment curated to support your fur babies emotional, physical, and behavioral wellbeing. 🐶 My Care Approach: I specialize in trauma-informed care for rescue animals, as well as puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs or behavioral sensitivities such as separation anxiety, blind, paralyzed, and deaf. Much of my experience has been with rescue animals who require patience, consistency, and a calm, structured environment to feel safe and supported. Every fur baby in my care receives individualized attention based on their temperament, routine, and comfort level. 🏠 Experience & Trust: I’ve been on Rover since 2016 with over 10 years of hands-on experience and 95+ verified reviews. Over the years, I’ve built long-term relationships with clients who trust me for consistent, attentive, and reliable care. I provide walking, structured routine support, hygiene care, and enrichment-based engagement as part of my daily pet care approach. 🧼 Safety & Environment: My home is kept clean and maintained with pet-safe, EPA-registered disinfecting products to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for every stay. I maintain a calm, low-stress atmosphere so pets can relax and adjust comfortably during their time away from home. ⏰ Availability & Structure: I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up hours between 5:00 AM and 12:00 AM. I accept an only 1 client at a time to ensure each pet receives focused, high-quality care and attention. In my home, I prioritize stability, routine, and emotional comfort especially for pets who need extra reassurance. 👩🏾‍🌾 About Me: I’m a multidisciplinary artist and athlete who works from home, which allows me to be fully present throughout the day. When I’m not caring for animals or creating, I’m travelling, often skating around Venice Beach or Santa Monica. Animals bring structure, joy, and connection to my daily life, and I genuinely value the time I spend with each pet in my care. 💕 My Long-Term Vision: With over a decade of experience caring for animals, I hope to one day open an animal haven for rescues and strays a space dedicated to rehabilitation, safety, and love for animals in need. 🐾✨The Premium Pet Care Experience✨🐾 When you choose my premium services, your furry friend will receive top-tier care in a safe, engaging, and loving environment: 👉🏾 Medical-Grade Cleanliness: I use an EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant that kills respiratory and gastrointestinal pathogens, bacteria, and viruses, ensuring a clean, safe, and healthy environment for every dog & cat. 👉🏾 Pet-Proofed Home: My apartment is fully pet-proofed—wires, chemicals, and other hazards are safely out of reach. 👉🏾 Exercise & Walks: Regular walks of 35–60 minutes ensure your pet stays active, healthy, and happy. 👉🏾 Mental Stimulation: A bin full of diverse, mentally engaging toys keeps your pet’s mind sharp and entertained. 👉🏾 Health Support: I can recommend supplements to support your pet’s well-being (as appropriate for their needs). 👉🏾 My Signature Deep Bath Service: Give your fur baby the ultimate spa day!
