I currently work part-time, but due to the low season I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to adapt easily to each pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care throughout the day.

I live in a gated community, in a apartment with a lot of space. The condominium offers a dedicated dog park with a fenced area where dogs can safely run and play, as well as walking trails for daily exercise. If needed, I can also share photos of the environment so you can feel fully confident and comfortable about where your pet will be staying <3

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality, routines, and specific needs. To help with this, I keep a questionnaire notebook that I review with every pet owner. Some of the information I like to know includes: • Any habits, quirks, or behaviors unique to your pet • Their daily routine, including feeding and potty schedules • Any fears, anxieties, or triggers (loud noises, strangers, other animals, etc.) • Whether they take any medications and how they should be administered • Any medical conditions, allergies, or health concerns I should be aware of • Emergency contact and veterinarian information • How they interact with other pets and people. I believe every pet is unique, and taking the time to understand their individual personality helps me provide the safest, happiest, and most comfortable experience possible while you're away.

A typical day

I'm a very energetic and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending quality time with animals. I enjoy keeping pets engaged with their favorite toys, playing fetch, going for walks, running around, and providing plenty of affection and attention throughout the day. I always adapt activities to each pet's personality, energy level, and comfort zone. Whether your pet loves active playtime, outdoor adventures, mental stimulation, or simply cuddling and relaxing, I'll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away. My goal is not only to care for your pet but to make their time with me fun, enriching, and stress-free.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for pets of family and friends since childhood, and over time it naturally became a passion. I have experience with cats, large and small dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and currently I have a rabbit of my own. I am also an exotic pet lover. I have always researched and studied a lot about animal care and health, I like to go beyond the basics to make sure I can provide the best care for my pets. One of my biggest challenges (and achievements) was training my rabbit at home <3 I have always been very attentive with my pets’ health, I even had a personal veterinarian for all of them, including routine check-ups for my hamster haha. For me it is really easy to have a connection with animals and quickly build trust with them, which helps me understand their needs and behaviors. I truly hope to become a veterinarian in the future and continue dedicating my life to animal care. I believe that any living being that is dependent and innocent deserves the highest level of care, love, and protection possible.

I couldn't have chosen a better person to care for my dog! From our first meeting, it was clear how much she loves animals and understands their needs. My dog is usually a bit shy around new people, but she respected his space and quickly earned his trust. I received updates and photos throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her!

It was an amazing experience! She took care of my puppy with so much love, patience, attention, and responsibility. Puppies can be very energetic and require extra supervision, but she handled everything wonderfully. It was obvious that she understands animal behavior and adapts her care to each pet's personality and needs. My puppy came home happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I will definitely book her again whenever I need a pet sitter

My cat is very independent and tends to get stressed easily with changes, but she knew exactly how to handle him. She respected his pace and personal space without forcing interaction, and gradually earned his trust. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful in every detail. Knowing my cat was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely compassionate pet sitter.
