Miss Brooklynn has certainly mastered the adorable head tilt! I asked her about a squirrel and this was the look I got 🤣🤣

One of the only jobs where it’s okay to take a nap 😆 not my best angle here but really can life get any better? Snuggled up on the couch on a rainy cool day with some pups?! We are enjoying our house guest Blaze and his chill personality!

Mr. Rigby had an exciting weekend hanging out with the Greenvill Gal Fam! He joined us for a Father’s Day cookout and campfire, fort building in the backyard, a movie night, and curled up so sweetly on the bed at night. 💓💓

His family is gracious and allows me to bring my children over when we visit his cat sisters and water flowers. They have an amazing pond that my kids love to play around!

Today I had an awesome playdate with these two funny boys! During our walk they traded off carrying their ball the entire time 🤣

It’s been a fun weekend visiting this old gal, Ava! She is 18 years old and living the best life, seriously. She has spent the weekend watching True Crime, sleeping on a heating pad, and getting canned food and lots of pets twice a day!

👋 Hello Pet friends!

It’s been a while since our last post, because of the school year being busy. Now that school is out and everyone is starting to plan their summer fun I thought it would be a good time to say hello again!

Here’s the current services I’m offering and average rates! I’ve received four inquiries this week and my calendar is already starting to fill up! Feel free reach out for a better quote!

What do you mean summer is almost over and your availability window for pet services is getting smaller?! 🐾 Ruby

Sadly, Ruby is right. I’m gearing up to head back to school (teaching and a student myself) and my pet sitting schedule is winding down to only a few afternoons and weekends for drop in visits.

I’ve LOVED spending time with your pets this summer and hope to see a few of them again soon! Thanks for trusting me with your babies.

❤️🐾 Please continue to reach out and if I can make it work with my new schedule I’d love to help!

Buddy gives the new Dog Walking Water Bottle I picked up on Prime Day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ {link below}

Speaking of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I have cared for your pets would you pretty please give my page a review! I’ve only been up and running for a month, but I have had the privilege of caring for quite a few pets since then.

Fun Fact: 85% of the small businesses surveyed said customers learn about them through word of mouth! One of the best things you can do for small businesses is refer your friends 😉

“Cats can workout mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause the most inconvenience.”

✍️ Pam Brown

I fully believe this is 💯 spot on! This beauty deliberately walked over the papers every time I was trying to read or write notes about my visits with her family 🤣

Rrrrrrrigby!! This happy lil guy just lives his best life… He jogs around the pond in his backyard, greets the fish, plays a little with his cat siblings, chews on some bones, and relaxes while guarding his house from his perch on the back of the couch!

I think my second favorite part about Pet Sitting (first being all the snuggles and love they give) is hearing each animals story! This awesome dude, Kobuck, is from Alaska and he didn’t make the cut as a sled dog so he was left out on the streets 🥶 So his mom saw him running loose and brought him home! I’m not sure how he didn’t make the team because this guy can RUN!! We played lots of frisbee at our visit today so I got to see his speed first hand. His tongue may give you an indication on how much we played 😉 🥱

His feline brother Herman is pretty cool too. He chatted {meow} me up while I was writing out notes for his parents from my visit!

🎶 Does your tongue hang low 🎶
🎶 Does it wobble to and fro 🎶

Ha! It certainly does for Buddy when we clock in a 2.75 mile walk! 🏃‍♀️ Looking forward to more visits with this dude to help wear him out while his mom is at work during the day 😎

Ruby’s mom (who also happens to be my mom 😝) messaged me this morning realizing it might be a super long day for her home alone. No worries, we stopped over for a potty break and play session. She was VERY excited to see Miss Charlotte. (See photo in comments 🤣)

Fun Fact 🖊

With in home care/visits for your pets it also covers watering any plants you may need! Also bringing in your mail, opening/closing blinds, and daily turning lights on and off. This week I’m making daily visits here and watering (no pets here).

If you’d like a quote please message the page! I’m trying my best to remain at reasonable rates considering the amount of trips and time needed for care 🙂

Did you know more pets go missing on the 4th of July than any other day of the year?!

While it’s a great time for us to be out enjoying the weather, BBQs, and fireworks our pets don’t typically feel the same way 😕 here’s a few tips to keeping your pets safe during the holiday!

1.) Keep your dogs and cats inside: A startled pet may bolt unexpectedly, and even their own backyard can feel scary when fireworks are going off. Restricting them to the house for a few critical hours is a small price to pay for their safety.
Create a quiet, cool space: Stressed pets often overheat and a cooler space may be more comforting.

2.) Use distraction: Play soothing music or turn on the television for white noise to drown out exploding firecracker sounds. A favorite toy or treats also can reduce anxiety.

3.) Keep your pets away from windows: More than one veterinarian has seen a startled dog smash through a window.

4.) Don’t bring your dog to fireworks displays: Veterinarians recommend that you resist the urge to take pets to firework displays. Even if your dog isn’t afraid of loud sounds, fireworks may stress out and frighten your pet. Just don’t do it.

5.) Learn about available medications or other options for calming nervous pets before the big day: For some animals, medication can help decrease stress and calm a nervous pet. Non-pharmaceutical products, such as calming coats can be considered. Consult your veterinarian about medications and their side effects, as well as other strategies to help your pet.

6.) Update microchip and ID tag information: Make sure your pet’s microchip and ID tag information has your current contact information. It’s the best way to get your pet safely returned should they get startled and make a run for it.

7.) Avoid table scraps: Avoid the urge to feed your pets fatty barbeque scraps or foods intended for your people guests. Some food can cause upset stomachs and may even be toxic to your pet.
Don’t forget the horses: If there are fireworks in the area, depending on the temperament or routine of your animals, decide if it is best to have your horse remain in its stall or out in the pasture. Make sure fencing is secure and gates are firmly latched.

Knowing your pets are safe and relaxed will help you enjoy your holiday celebrations. We hope you and your pet have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Little Miss Busy Izzy was sooo excited to see me this afternoon for lunch and a play session while her parents were away for a day trip.

She was just too cute! Greeted me so happily at the door, showed me right where her food is kept, and let me give her a million pets.

Thank you for trusting me with your baby!

Hello 👋 Thanks for landing on my page!! I’m Sheena, a small town animal lovin gal.

I grew up on a dairy farm “vetting” abandoned kittens at 6 years old ha (feeding, caring for, giving medicine, etc). I begged my parents for a dog my entire childhood, but they never agreed. My mom always said the heartbreak of loosing them was too hard. It wasn’t until college that I got my own dog (in a no pets apartment building 🤦🏽‍♀️) and I found out the bond she was speaking about.

I’m married with 3 children and our home in Greenville has 2 boxers (have had small dogs previously as well), and a cat. We have fostered around 10 dogs for Saving Sully Rescue and volunteered with transporting animals for a local rescue from Minneapolis to the Valley.

I’m available for drop in visits, home stays, and if meeting the right qualifications boarding in my home. Feel free to send me a message if you find yourself in need!
