Located in Uptown or Central Phoenix, North of Downtown, approximately Central Ave and Camelback, Close to the Biltmore, & the Bridle Path, bicycling canal paths, plus numerous parks and the bridle path, I am local with impeccable references, background check and confidentiality and non disclosure contracts available.

I adhere to the Monks of New Skeet training methods, which is about constant positive reinforcement. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I am extremely reliable and will care for your pets as if they are my own. I am a mature individual; not a young fly by night dog walker or an overbooked company. I DO NOT charge extra money for nights, weekends or holidays. My fees are calculated in 24-hour increments. If your stay extends beyond that 24-hour period, I do charge extra for that additional time. The number one cause of canine behavioral issues is lack of exercise.

Shannon was wonderful with Zeus! She kept us updated and sent pictures of their days together. Thanks for making me feel comfortable when we need to leave Zeus.

We met Shannon when we were neighbors over three years ago. We became friends and have continued to spend time together since relocating to new homes. Since then she has watched our german shepard, Bruno, many times. Shannon always takes excellent care of him, whether just taking him for a quick stroll or over a long weekend away. She ensures all his needs are taken care of: food, water and lots of love! Shannon is always trustworthy and flexible, which makes going on vacation much more enjoyable.

Shannon is FABULOUS!! She walks my dog Razor 3 times/week. He sits on my upstairs balcony waiting for her to arrive. The second he sees her, the bedroom & stairs become an obstacle course all the while howling his love and adoration for her. If you are looking for a dog walker/sitter, you will not be disappointed with Shannon. She loves Razor as much (if not more) as he loves her!

I think my dog, Tucker, had a better vacation than I did! It was his first time away from home and Shannon was amazing. He had long walks every day and was spoiled all the time. Shannon sent lots of pictures and updates. Tucker will always stay with Shannon if I have to leave him.

Why I love dog sitting I have had a canine companion since I was child. As an adult: My three big dogs: BJ, SD and CD have defined the decades of my life! CD lifted off in April 2012 at 13.5 years of age so all the fantastic dogs I have met since then have helped me move through my grief !!
