A true experience for your pet!!!
Pet care experience
I have been a big animal lover my whole life and being able to take care of and play with different animals is so much fun and makes my heart feel full:) I have also rescued many animals from squirrels to birds and have a special place in my heart for animals in need of help. I love to play and even help train dogs. Animals with special needs are more than welcome here and I would tend to their every need. I have a 13 year old blind chihuahua who is one of my kids and have been able to help her find her way around with out her sight and she is just so precious! We have just over 2 acres of land and a fenced in area with goats and chickens. Your family member would be happy to be here:) I provide a true “Vacation” for your pets while you are away! I am equipped and ready to work with all dog types. I cannot board any dogs who are aggressive to other animals that or people for safety to all. This is a full-time job for me and animals are a true passion of mine. Starting next year we will have a built in obstacle coarse and separate fenced in training area. I am also fully insured (policy off of rover). If you would like pictures and videos of recent guests just ask and you shall receive :) If you have any questions please feel free to ask away!!! ⭐️ Do to having either daycare or boarding pets here everyday of the week that require my care and attention around the clock I will no longer be doing meet and greets. FaceTime and phone calls can be arranged at a convenient time for you! Sorry if this causes any inconvenience as my priority is to keep all pets safe and meet and greets can cause a lot of anxiety for pets with strangers coming around. I have many people who would love to be a reference for me so please feel free to ask:) I am caring for pets full time! We do not crate (unless asked by owner). Pets can feel like they are on vacation when you are on vacation!!! All pets we care for are treated as if they are members of our family. We offer a day of activities for your pet whether they like to play catch, go for a swim, long walks down trails behind our home (asphalt trails), baths if needed, medicine if needed, etc. I have a professional groomer who owns their own business on hand if anyone needs grooming services while their pet is here for boarding. We have access in and out of our house with no stairs that is great for more senior dogs who have a hard time walking. You will not be disappointed if you trust in me and my family! ***When packing your pup(s) or cats for their stay they really only need food, leash, favorite treats(I have some here but may pack your own), medications (if necessary), and your preferred care instructions (how much food they eat, medication instructions, etc.). You may pack bedding and a couple favorite toys if you think your pup will be more at home but I have found that none of the pups are interested in those things when they come here so not necessary if you don’t want to pack so much. I have many items such as bowls, toys, bedding, treats, sprinklers for hot days, etc. I do not crate unless asked by owner. I have a couple small and medium sized crates if owner prefers crating at night. Any dogs that are over 60 lbs that are crate trained owner would have to bring crate. Most dogs that stay like to stay in my room and I bought them their own foam mattress for the side of my bed and blankets :)
Reviews
Our little guy has stayed with Shannon many times and always comes home happy, healthy and exhausted! We are so grateful to have found her🐾
Top notch boarding experience. It was our first time leaving our pup with Shannon, and it was a long stay over the holidays - it could not have gone better. Shannon was easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures and updates. Our high energy dog took advantage of the large fenced in yard. If it were a little closer to home she'd be our go to sitter, but we will definitely return when we're gone for longer periods of time.
This was the first time our dog (Banjo) stayed at a rover household and Shannon made it such an easy/enjoyable experience. She is very communicative through out the whole process and gave us updates through out the week. Big plus that there is a big back yard, so a lot of room to run around! Definitely recommend and will be repeat customers in the future. Thanks again!
Brody had an amazing stay with Shannon and her family! It was the perfect setup for him, and we received lots of pictures of him having fun. We hope to come back for another stay soon!

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your preferences are for your pet and I will make sure they get the care that they need! I have administered medications as needed.
A typical day
We have over 2 acres of land and walking trails behind our property! We usually start the day about 6:30. We go outside for potty first thing then start breakfast rounds. All dogs are fed in separate rooms so that they don’t eat each other’s food. We play catch, swim, long walks, trips to the beach, etc. Plenty for your pet to do while you are away. I am good with training routines so I can pick up where you left off to keep your pups care up to par:)
