“Jordan took great care of our boy Thor. We’ve never used Rover before so I was nervous leaving him, especially with being a puppy. But she made me feel so much better by offering a meet and greet and keeping me updated throughout his stay with her. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: I have had my own dogs for five years. I am not a dog trainer or anything like that just a loving dog mom with capacity to host others. I'm most comfortable with dogs under 50lbs like mine. An adjacent set of skills I have are experience with supporting children with mental health challenges for over 20 years so I have developed a keen since of patience and a very loving affect I work remotely on zoom meetings all day so I am home nearly 24/7 during the days. My dogs are the center of my days (outside of work) they would enjoy seeing other dogs and I keep them well exercised, fed, and loved. I have two mini golden doodles (Astra 20lbs and Simba 32lbs). They have free range of the house and they like to play and cuddle with other dogs when family and friends have visited with their dogs. When they board at my sitter's home they are also used to being around other dogs and even a cat. It doesn’t take long for them to settle into play and cuddling after a few minutes meeting new dogs at home. My dogs are groomed every 6 weeks and are up to date on all of their vet care.

About: I was born into a home full of animals. As a child we had 3 dogs(1medium/2large, 3 cats, and the random array of fish/turtles between me and my 6 siblings. As a teenager we had 2 dog(1small/1medium) and 1 cat. Now as an adult my family and I have 1 dog and 1 cat. We did have a senior (21 years old) cat that passed away in 2023 due to old age. We have a Labrador retriever and a black and white cat . My family and I love animals and helping people. I have cared for my own pets as well as the pets of my family and friends my whole life. I’m sure with detailed instructions I can help care for your furry loved ones! Our schedule is all over the place. My husband works for the fire department on a rotating schedule. I work Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday// Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday as a rotating schedule because I work in EMS too. Either myself or my husband is almost always home to watch our son and our own animals. On the rare occasion our shifts line up (once or twice every few weeks) a sitter would come to my home to help with the kids if we are both gone. My availability is very open since my husband is usually home when I am not, your pet will get love around the clock! For our home: I have a 8.5 year old black lab golden retriever mix. A 1 year old cat. A 2.5 year old human toddler and an 6 month old infant. We have baby gates to separate the living room from the kitchen and the living room from the hallway/bedrooms. We also added a baby gate between the laundry room and the kitchen. There are multiple barriers able to be used if needed. The gates are wall mounted for increased safety. Since there is almost always an adult home we have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! We have a water bubbler that we have connected to the Alexa so we are able to turn it on and off for our pets even if we are not home. We have a few parks around us that are just a short drive away. We have a large metal cage that’s available if needed. We have a very large fenced yard with lots of room for running and exploring! We have cameras around the house in almost every room for security, safety, and to catch funny moments. One camera is pointed at the dog cage as well for safety. For at your home: I will follow all acceptable and agreed upon rules and care for your pets the way that you tell me too! I will admit that sometimes I run a few minutes late due to having my 2 year son and my infant daughter with me! But for short visits (potty breaks) I can keep them in the car if needed!

About: I've taken care of different types of breeds of dogs in all stages of life. From my own pups to my friends beloved pets, I have 10+ years of experience. I currently work from home, so I am available to board your beloved pet in my house weekdays and weekends; or if you prefer your pet feels more comfortable in their own home. we have a fenced in back yard, but usually I take my pet out for a walk to use the bathroom; not a long walk but maybe to the end of the block and back. leashed of course. I feel it gives dogs a little more satisfaction to walk around and sniff while looking for the perfect spot to do their business. Of course if I am in a clients house, whatever makes their pet feel safe/good, I will always follow their preferred instructions.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

“Maddox stayed with Shannon for about 6 hours while our family hosted a Christmas Buffet at our home. Shannon was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout the evening and got great feedback from her when we went to pick him up. During our correspondence before the stay she got back to me so quickly and was just all around great! Thanks so much, Shannon!”

About: I have experience caring for all types of animals: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, etc. You name it, I can care for it! Whatever your needs may be, your pets will be in great hands! I plan to devote all of my time and effort into ensuring your animals get all of their needs met, whether you have a high energy pup who needs lots of stimulation or just a chill baby who wants to cuddle on the couch. I have a fenced-in backyard and a friendly dog to keep yours company! I can also easily provide crate training if necessary or requested. I have 3 cats who are very used to all other animals but can easily be put up if your animal doesn't like cats. Whether I watch your animals at my house or yours, I simply ask for a detailed list of everything you want/need done, specifically if they have any special needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I watch my parents dog when they are out of town also a friends two pups when she goes out of town. I’m currently only working as needed at my job and have extra free time during the day to take walks with your dog when they need let out or just some time to get out and get some exercise. I will always make sure your dog is on a leash and is safe inside and outside the home. If the dog needs to be in the crate before leaving that will also be done.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and my love for them has only grown over the years even as an adult that always had a minimum of two dogs which I have now as well. I have experience and Doggy Daycare dog boarding I have no problem watching your pet in your home or dropping in for walks or feedings. I have a very lenient attitude, and dogs pretty much can do no wrong, in my eyes. You can be secure in the fact that your dog will be treated very well and loved as if he was my own. You can do what you need to do worry-free oh, and now that your dog is in the best of hands. Thank you
