“Kathy was so incredible! She took care of our chocolate lab for 3 plus weeks and did amazing. Kona was well cared for and I got daily updates which made being away from her a little easier.”
“Very pleasant host to deal with. Her farm has plenty of animal diversity and room for our old pup to roam. I would plan a return visit!”
“Absolutely an 5-Star experience for our dog and for us! Our pup had a happy, fun filled weekend with Dale, his wife and their 7 yr old dog. We needed last minute boarding over the weekend for our 15 yr old Havanese and were so lucky to find Dale had an opening. Our dog was comfortable with these lovely people from the start and had great fun playing with their dog. They paid attention to every detail of his care, walked him, played with him and kept us in the loop with daily photos. As a special treat, they had him all bathed and ready for us when we picked him up at the end of the weekend. We highly recommend these dog lovers for your boarding needs.”
“Jeremy was so kind, and trustworthy. The girls loved him. He has excellent communication and took the best care of our girls. I knew we were leaving them in good hands. 10/10 experience!”
About: I want your pet to feel taken care of when you are out of town. The bond that people have with their pets is special and I know that first hand. I work remotely in the environmental space and have plenty of time through the day to give your pet love and attention. My dogs typically eat 2 times a day and play for ball or go on walks at least once a day. But I am happy to accommodate your pets special needs. I have a fenced in yard and two incredible friendly pups to keep your pet safe and entertained. I will also be taking your pet for daily walks and given them plenty of 1:1 attention and care.
About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.
