Safety, trust & environment

I believe it is beat to care for a pet in their own space. Having their family leave can be stressful enough so I believe it is important to help them feel both safe and cared for.

Shannen was great! She stayed in our home for 5 days while we were on a cruise and even with little communication due to our travels we were totally relaxed and trusted her 1000%! Our boys are happy and so are we. The house is very tidy & clean as well. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Shannen was great fit for my dogs! Her kindness and patience meant a lot especially with one of my dogs being hyper. She kept them busy and extended company while I was away for the night. Thanks Shannen!

Shannen was amazing with our Oliver. Though Oliver can be a handful due to separation anxiety, he settled and adjusted easily with Shannen, as she was so loving and caring and patient with him. If I could give 100⭐️’s she would get them. Thank you so much Shannen, we will be reaching out to you soon for more Oliver love!

Shannen was communicative, sending updates and pictures of puck during her stay. It was relieving to know puck was in good hands while we were away. Would use and also recommend Shannen for future pet sitting!

If you look up "dog lover" in the dictionary, Shannen would be listed under the description. She loves engaging with dogs and has a very hands on personality and relaxed approach. Shannen has an amazing insight to what is going on in a dogs head and has a love and passion for all breeds big or small. She has the knowledge and expertise to handle any temperament from an anxious dog to a dog with the tendency to be more aggressive. Shannen is definitely a dogs best friend!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s typical routine, favorite activities, and any health conditions, medications, or allergies they might have. I also like to know about any quirks, fears, or things that make them nervous (like loud noises, other animals, or certain situations) so I can help them feel safe and comfortable. Knowing how they do on walks, how they are around new people or animals, and what comforts them when they’re stressed helps me give them the best possible care while you’re away.
