Shaina Opperman (Pet Care Specialist)

My name is Shaina and I am a Certified Professional Pet Care Specialist with Fur Baby Comfort & Care, a professional pet sitting business that prides itself on providing peace of mind to Fur Baby owners. With two years of experience in this role and seven years of volunteering at animal shelters, I have developed a deep passion for caring for animals. My own rescue cat, Flash, has been a cherished companion in my life for the past 16 years. What I love most about being a Pet Care Specialist is getting to know each pet as an individual. I take joy in understanding their unique preferences, whether it's their favorite toys or activities, and providing them with the physical comfort and support they need. Drawing on my past experience and being fully present in the moment, I strive to meet each pet's specific needs. I have a calm and steady presence that animals can rely on, even those who may be slow to warm up. My patient and quiet approach helps reduce stress and allows me to build relationships based on trust. I consider it a privilege to be welcomed into your home and become friends with your fur babies. My own cat, Flash, is truly a member of my family. We have shared many adventures together, from training him to walk on a harness and leash to camping trips across the country. I have also navigated health issues with him, gaining experience in administering medications on strict schedules. While you are away, I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I bring a fun and adventurous spirit to their care, while also paying close attention to detail. I will provide you with detailed updates and strive to match their daily routine just as you would at home. Additionally, I have experience in gardening and fish keeping, understanding the importance of caring for all members of your family. When it comes to the creatures you deeply care for, from your beloved fur babies to your treasured houseplants, I will give each one my full patience, attention, and heart. You can trust that I will provide the highest level of care and ensure their well-being while you are away.
