Shawnee | Pet care Specialist
My name is Shawnee and I am a Buckeye . . . born and raised in the Cleveland, Ohio area and a happy transplant to beautiful Ventura County.
Since I was a young child I have been passionate about animals and all living creatures. I grew up in 4H and riding horses. I was a very competitive and accomplished barrel racer . . . took a nearly 13 year break, and have gotten back into it since moving to California.
I have worked with animals or in the field for the majority of my career. I worked for an animal hospital for over 10 years, and managed a boarding, doggie daycare, and grooming facility. I would often find myself caring for clients’ pets at their homes or in mine . . . a fun perk of the job!
I moved here with my now 13 year old Corgi, Cinch. He's my best friend in life! We lost his brother, Tuff, in September of 2015 . . . we miss him terribly. Tuff taught me much about life, and the kind of person that I want to be.
Tuff was diagnosed with DM - Degenerative Myelopathy two years before he crossed the bridge, and spent the last two years of his life fighting the awful disease that put him in a wheelchair. I'm now helping raise awareness of the disease, supporting and educating pet owners who are faced with it, and helping find a cure with the Finding A Cure for DM Foundation.
I take great pride in my work, and want to provide the care for your pets that I would want my own pets to have. I look forward to building bonds with your pets and relationships with you.
