Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Shannon, a mom of two, a 15 and a 5-year old. We were initially looking for our very own furry friend to join our family but have really enjoyed having all the different pups hang with us over the past few years! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I grew up on acreage in Belfair, Washington where my parents have always had 2 dogs and as many as 5 cats at once, so I’m experienced taking care of both. Over the past decade or so I’ve cared for many dogs and cats while people are tied up with work or travel. I’m now working a fully remote job and would love to help care for your furry pal whenever our schedule permits! We live downtown and have lots of sidewalks to walk your pup. I understand how stressful it can be for you and your pet when you are away, so I will provide extra love and attention to your little one! I'll make sure they're eating, drinking, and in good spirits in addition to getting some fresh air and exercise (for no additional walking fee!). I do like to send pictures frequently but do not feel obligated to respond as I know you're likely out enjoying your time away! Feel free to message me about my schedule and plan a meet and greet!
Reviews
Shannon took such amazing care of our older dog. He struggles with anxiety in his old age and she made him feel very relaxed. He came home happy as can be and no anxiety at all! She is amazing!
“LShannon was so great with our boy, Duke! She took him last minute when we had a last minute commitment. She’s very friendly and responds within a reasonable timeframe. We will definitely be booking her again!
I took Kermit back for a multi night stay with Shannon and it was great! Shannon took good care of Kermit and provided plenty of updates and photos, so I knew she was doing well. Very much appreciated and we'll be back soon! Thanks!
Shannon took great care of our wild and crazy almost 1 year old pitty shepherd mix puppy. She was very tolerant of our pup's craziness and followed all of our instructions. We would absolutely have her take care of our dog again.

While inside, I’m open to furniture snuggles or floor if that’s not allowed at home 😆. Happy to kennel or let your pal roam free at night (and maybe bed snuggles depending on their size).

Information Shannon M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and I can do my best to accommodate. It’s important that your dog is good with small children so please do not book if you’re unsure.
A typical day
We are a calm but active family. We love taking the dogs on walks to the park down the street. We also like to lounge at night and enjoy fur baby snuggles.

Availability
My typical drop off and pick up times are 7am to 7pm. If you anticipate a later pickup, please expect to have your pup stay until the next morning as we are an early bedtime family. I'm home most of the day with the exception of school drop-off/pick-ups and an occasional appointment. If your dog cannot be left alone for short periods of time, please consider another caregiver.
