Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I offer a welcoming environment with a large backyard where pets can run and play under my close supervision. My own elderly pets are gentle and well-adjusted, making them great companions for visiting pets. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and secure environment, both in my home and in yours. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I take every precaution to ensure their safety and my own. I’m a responsible and cautious individual, committed to providing attentive care while respecting your space and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. Whether in my home or yours, you can trust that your pet will be cared for with love, attention, and the utmost respect for their needs and your expectations.

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, it's important for me to know about any health needs, including medical conditions, medications, allergies, and vaccination status. Understanding your pet's behavior, typical responses to triggers or fears, and how they interact with other animals or people helps ensure their comfort and safety. I also like to know your pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise preferences, and favorite activities, to keep them happy and comfortable. It's helpful to be aware of any preferred sleeping spots, bedding, and areas in the home they should avoid. If your pet will be around other animals, I’ll need to know how they get along and whether they should be kept separate. Lastly, having emergency contact information and details for your preferred veterinarian ensures I can act quickly if needed. This information allows me to provide personalized, attentive care that meets your pet’s unique needs.
A typical day
I believe that keeping pets engaged and happy is key to their well-being, so I always make sure to incorporate plenty of fun activities tailored to each pet's personality and energy level. For dogs, I love to go on walks and explore the neighborhood, play fetch in my large backyard, or engage in some interactive games like tug-of-war or hide-and-seek. If your pup enjoys a good run, we can even have some playtime at a local park. For cats, I focus on activities that stimulate their natural curiosity and playfulness. We’ll have fun with feather toys, laser pointers, and puzzle games that challenge their minds. I also ensure they get plenty of cuddle time and cozy spots to relax and watch the world go by. I’m also mindful of the needs of senior pets, so I’ll adjust the activities to be gentler and more suited to their pace, ensuring they get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation. No matter the pet, my goal is to make sure they have a great time, stay active, and feel loved while you’re away!

Pet care experience
As a lifelong animal lover, I've been surrounded by furry (and not-so-furry) friends for as long as I can remember. From dogs, cats, and bunnies to guinea pigs, I’ve experienced the joy and responsibility of caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, I share my home with a 14-year-old dog and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m well-versed in the needs of senior pets too. I am experience caring for friends and family’s puppies, adult dogs, and cats. Whether your pet needs a walk, some cuddles, or just a watchful eye while you’re away, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated with the same love and care I give my own. Let’s make your pet's time away from you a positive experience!
