House Sitting • Dec 29, 2025

Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our 18 year old dog Diamond who needs special care and patience due to her age. Shannon took care of Diamond for 5 days, followed our instructions, gave her numerous meds, special food and took her on long and short walks as needed and on schedule. Shannon left the condo in great order. We are very happy and Diamond was very relaxed when we returned today. Will hire Shannon again and we recommend her to others, especially those with older dogs.

Shannon took SUCH good care of our Sonny girl! Highly recommend! We were nervous to leave Sonny for the longest we had ever done so and she was so happy with Shannon i dont think she noticed we left. Shannon took great care of the house as well!

Shannon was an incredible sitter. We booked her this past weekend for our wedding. She kept us updated the entire time and sent great pics. Followed all instructions and kept Chip safe, happy and healthy. We’re definitely booking again

Safety, trust & environment

When house-sitting, I will leave your home responsibly nice and clean with a happy well taken care of fur-baby awaiting for your arrival. When boarding, all pups are allowed to roam free throughout where they can choose the coziest bed or couch. I have a crate as well but only use if you’d like. I love stimulating your dogs physical and mental, with play-time which increases bonding and trust, cuddles, treats, and lots of exercise unless senior or restricted from. Your dog won’t be alone nor w/o a potty break for more than 3 hours, unless you note otherwise. Out of courtesy, with permission from owners, I am willing to take your dog to dog parks where you allow. I offer a complimentary bath a day before vacation is over, upon your request.
