About Shawna

I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents. While I do not have paid professional experience in animal care, I have developed strong, practical knowledge through long-term personal ownership and daily care responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, cleaning, habitat maintenance, handling, basic health monitoring, and understanding species-specific needs such as temperature control for reptiles and enrichment for small mammals. I am comfortable following care routines, noticing changes in behavior or health, and ensuring animals are kept in clean, safe, and stable environments. I am attentive, patient, and responsible, with a genuine comfort around animals of all sizes and temperaments.
