Shana cared for my beloved chocolate lab, and my high end vacation home, for 10 days while my daughter and I went camping. Fudge is a sweet, but relatively high maintenance, dog. Shana is one of the few people that I have trusted to care for her. She fed, walked more than an hour each day, and provided companionship for Fudge. When we have left Fudge with inadequate caregivers we have returned home to an anxious, agitated dog who barked to get our attention. But Fudge was calm, relaxed, and had clearly been well exercised and loved during her time with Shana. Shana likewise took exceptional care of our cherished home, perfectly maintaining its pristine condition. When we returned home everything was exactly how we had left it, and I could honestly not even tell someone had been living there. Linens and towels used were laundered, beds remade, and trash, recycling, compost, and all personal items had been removed. Personally Shana is warm, caring, funny, smart, honest, positive, passionate and sincere. I've known her for more than 5 years, during which time I have trusted her with my daughter also. Tess took theater classes with Shana, who has an exceptional gift to bring out the best in all children. I initially thought Tess and Shana had a special, unique relationship. But with time I realized Shana truly instills passion and confidence in all teens, and makes them feel empowered. In conclusion, I am certain Shana will take exceptional care of your pets, home, children and anything else that you may highly value , as she has for me.
