About: I’m reliable, always early and upbeat. I have two dogs at present. A 10lb Havanese and a 80 pound lab. I have had cats in my lifetime but presently don’t own one. I am retired and looking for part time work to fill my time. I lost my husband two years ago to dementia/alzheimers and need to fill my time. What’s better that fur babies who are always happy to see you. I always have my pets on leash. Here on Sanibel, we have cane toads and other harmful things for pets. I do have a screened in Lanai that my dogs can use. Both of my dogs are very friendly to other animals and humans.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I recently graduated with a degree in Biology and plan to attend veterinary school, so I take animal care seriously, whether that means recognizing subtle behavior changes or just giving them the love and attention they deserve. I have experience with senior, reactive, and more laid back pets, along with practice administering medications, and have handled animals in clinical, research, and in home settings. I’m calm, responsible, and genuinely love building trust with each pet I care for. I’m currently working in a research lab at the UW-Madison Veterinary School, which keeps me involved in animal science and care on a daily basis. Outside of that, I’d love to spend more of my time walking dogs or pet sitting when my schedule allows. It’s a great way for me to stay active, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely enjoy. I’m happy to help when I can! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I always follow owner instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets have everything they need. I’m mindful of pet-proofing spaces and keeping doors secure, and I’m always happy to send updates so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

Laurie was awesome! I went to work knowing my puppy was in good hands. Furthermore, with her extensive history in training dogs I knew she would do nothing but help my puppy become a well mannered adult dog on their walks. Furthermore, she gave me great tips as a first time dog owner. She's flexible and kind and very professional.

About: My name is Bella, and I love animals❤️‍🔥 I love taking care of each and every one of them. I love being adventurous with them I just moved here, and currently work a second job right now, but I can easily make time for taking care of these precious animals! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I keep doors and gates secured, watch pets closely during play, and follow their routines exactly as you describe to help them feel safe. I’m experienced with puppies, cats, and multi-pet homes, so I’m always careful with feeding times, introductions, and energy levels. I give constant supervision, lots of reassurance, and make sure every pet has their own comfortable space to relax. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

Shauna was amazing with my Stephy. She walked her twice a day for two weeks. Stephy would sit by the door wagging her tail and dancing whenever she would hear her car pull up. Shauna went above and beyond, she loves Stephy as I am sure she does every dog in her care. I would recommend her. Should I ever need pet service in the future, no doubt Shauna will be my go-to girl. Thank you for a job well done.
