Safety, trust & environment

⭐️SAFETY & TRUST⭐️ We are rescue volunteers, and safety is our number one priority. During our first meet, please let us know your pet’s typical routine and their rules in the house! Due to our rescue background, we are skilled in reading animal body language and are prepared to respond quickly to your pets in the event of a stressful or fearful event for them. On walks, we are always mindful and cautious around stranger dogs and humans, and find it best and safest for everyone involved to keep our distance! **Your dog will never meet another dog in our care without your express permission.**

Information Shannon & Alex F. would like to know about your pet

⭐️IMPORTANT TO KNOW AHEAD OF OUR MEET⭐️ Please let us know if your pet has any special needs or how we can work together to make this a great experience for you and your pet. It is very important to us that both you and your pet are comfortable with us before we move forward with the booking, so we always prefer an in-person meet & greet before we officially book.

Pet care experience

🐾 A&S Pet Care LLC 🐾 | full-time sitter Hi there! We are Alex & Shannon, and we are dedicated animal advocates who founded a pet-sitting business to provide compassionate, reliable care to pets of all kinds. Building trust with your pet is essential to us, and we’re committed to creating a comfortable, positive experience for your pet. 💚 What makes A&S Pet Care different? We are fear free certified & we have a special place in our hearts for reactive, anxious, and fearful pets and understand their unique needs. If there’s anything we can do to make a house-sit, drop-in, or walk smoother for your furry friend, just let us know. We pride ourselves in specializing in caring for reactive, anxious, and nervous pets. 💚 Do you set up meet & greets? We want both you and your pet to feel at ease before booking, so we always prefer an in-person meet & greet to start things off right. We will not confirm our booking until a meet has been completed to ensure that we are the right fit for each other. If your pet is nervous and will need some additional time with us before your vacation, we are happy to accommodate at our drop-in visit rate. 💚 Will you be able to care for my pet in an emergency? We are pet CPR and first aid certified, bonded, and insured, so you can have peace of mind with us as your sitters. 💚 Do you care for any other types of animals? In addition to dogs, we have experience caring for cats, small animals, freshwater aquariums, reptiles, amphibians, and farms. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Shannon, thank you for your expert care with Daisy? Her daily walks with you helped her greatly while we were away. I can tell from her smiles on the pictures you sent that it was most definitely the highlight of her day! Thank you so much.

Shannon was very flexible about pre meeting, and was prompt. She arrived as arranged each day, she sent great picts of the pets and checked in each time. Everyone was happy and healthy upon return. Shannon also brought in a package let for me (over and above and much appreciated)!

We were incredibly fortunate to find Shannon as our first-time dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our dog, Mel. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. Throughout the week, Shannon kept us updated with sweet photos and thoughtful notes, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Mel was clearly loved and well cared for—happy, relaxed, and content when we returned. Shannon’s kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely be using her again, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s a gem!
