“This was our third sitting trip with Theresa and she was lovely as always! Everything was in perfect order when we came back and we loved the updates we received while away. 😄”
About: I've walked my aunt's dog after school almost everyday when I was in middle school. I also took my aunt's dog in for a year and would bathe her and take care of little Brooklyn the yorkiepooh. Although I had some bad experiences with dogs in my childhood, I grew up to realize that dogs are awesome and you need to tread lightly when dealing with k9. I'm available weekdays Monday through Friday, but weekends wouldn't be available. I'll be excited to work with some friendly owners and and take care of their pets with proper care and love. I honestly don't have a dog as of right now of my own, but there's a dog park where I live. At the client's home I would walk and clean up after their dog.
About: Grew up in Alaska always with a pack of dogs by my side. Have tended dog sled teams. Would love to work with your dog regardless of size, breed, or temperament. Available before 11am M-F and after 8pm M-F. Available most weekends and holidays. Reach out with your needs and I'm sure we can figure it out! Will work with your animal based on their specific needs in their own home. No two dogs are the same and I understand that proper animal husbandry cannot take a one size fits all approach.
About: I’ve worked with rescue animals for over 15 years! Had pets of my own since childhood. I’ve had just about every type of animal in my care. I’m an active person. I work as an ER nurse in my full time career. I’ve decided to take the summer off and have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of others! I’m looking forward to spending time with your pets and enjoying the sunshine! I will follow the steps provided for your pets and give them the best care! We will enjoy pet specific treats and walks as scheduled!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I am the family member that takes care of my relatives animals when needed.

My availability is as follows: Monday-Friday 12:00pm-1:00pm 5:00pm-7:00pm Saturday-Sunday 8:00am-7:00pm As long as notice is given, I can be flexible with the above hours mentioned.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals since I was a child for my family and neighbors. My first pet sitting job was watching a cat and a rabbit for my neighbor. As an adult I’ve also had to care for injured dogs and cats. I love animals and want to enrich their lives within my abilities. On a daily basis I take Maggie out several times a day for walks and play sessions in our dog park. Combining my high energy with my love of animals and the outdoors made dog walking a natural choice for a new opportunity for me. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I am attentive, playful, accommodating, loving, and so much more. If you have a specific exercise or feeding schedule or ANY specifics that you want me to adhere to I am very detail oriented and happy to oblige.
About: I'm super attentive and love keeping pets entertained with games and cuddles! I've also got experience with basic training for puppies and giving extra TLC to senior pets. I usually schedule my day around pet care, making sure there's plenty of time for walks, playtime, and feeding. I also keep some flexibility for unexpected needs or extra cuddles! My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe and comfy. I will stick to their routine for feeding and walks, and I'm all about giving them lots of love and attention until you are able to come home and be with your babies.
“Shannon was so very helpful for our last minute need for a drop-in on Christmas day! Our usual sitter didnt respond to our booking request AGAIN & this is the second time we've used Shannon on a last minute notice. I felt super bad because it was Christmas, but she accepted the job & gave our golden retriever lots of love. Thank you so much Shannon, we'll be firing our usual sitter & going with you from now on!”
