Pet care is built into my daily and weekly routine in a structured way to make sure every animal I watch gets consistent attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. On a daily basis, I start by following each pet’s feeding schedule, giving them fresh water, and checking for any health concerns. I include playtime or walks in the morning and afternoon to burn off energy, and I mix in interactive games or training sessions to keep them engaged. Throughout the day, I make sure they have opportunities to rest, cuddle, or explore safely, depending on their personality. I also take time to clean up after them—whether that’s litter boxes, cages, or yard areas—and to refresh their toys and bedding as needed. I am also a college student and currently doing online classes

Pet care experience
I have a dog for more than 10 years now. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am stay at home college students doing online classes and would really have time to play and care for your fur baby! I also give 20off discount for new customer.
Reviews
Unfortunately, this was an extremely stressful and disappointing experience. I have never seen Mia return from daycare in this condition. She came home with chewing gum stuck in multiple areas of her coat, including her chest and back/bottom area. I could not safely remove it myself, so I had to rearrange my day and take her for an unexpected professional grooming appointment. I also noticed a mark on her skin where the hair was clumped together, and she kept licking the area. The groomer said it may have been caused by another dog’s bite or nails, although the exact cause could not be confirmed. Her harness was also returned with multiple tears, including what appeared to be a sharp cut through one of the straps. I contacted the sitter shortly after pickup and provided photos, but we were unable to reach a resolution regarding the additional expenses. Mia has stayed with other daycare providers many times and has never returned like this. Seeing her in this condition was very upsetting, and I would not book with this sitter again.
Shannen took excellent care of our dog Brownie. She provided constant update and made my feel comfortable while on vacation. Will definitely recommend her to anyone!
Shannon was fantastic with our dog, Miles! She was very communicative throughout his overnight stay and sent plenty of photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was attentive to his needs the entire time. The secure backyard was a huge plus and gave Miles plenty of space to get outside and explore. Shannon’s kids were also wonderful with him and made him feel right at home. It’s clear that Shannon and her family genuinely care about the pets they watch. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again. Highly recommend!
Sam enjoyed his stay! I was updated with photos. He was well taken care off. Thank you Shannen!
