Senior dogs welcome
Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life and currently have a 3 year old beagle who spends his days with me (previously we had our very much loved 16+ year old beagle). Because of this, I do require a meet and greet before confirming any boarding or doggy day care as I need to make sure the dogs get along. Walks or drop ins don't need a meet up with my dog, but it's always nice to meet up with me just so I can makes sure I can meet your needs. Senior dogs are always welcome very much in this house. I'm skilled at pilling dogs who may need medications whether it be the old-fashioned way or bribery with treats. I have lots of toys and plenty of room for dog snuggles on the couch if they are feeling the need for some extra love while their people are away. I don't do formal grooming but if a dog needs a daily brush or a wash off from getting in the mud I have no problems with those simple task. Whether the doggies want to go for walks through the neighborhood or just run in the backyard, it's all good with me. Right now we are doing mostly weekends for boarding/day care since I am back to working out of the house. Walks and drop-ins I can do during the week as long as we can work around my day job. If a good dog relationship develops, we can certainly branch out to longer boarding with repeat clients. We have a small fenced in back yard that has a solid 6' wood fence that we use for short outside times and quick bathroom breaks. Dogs can hang out with us as they are comfortable as we offer many dog beds, the furniture, and even a dog-bench in the bay window so they can watch the bunnies and squirrels.
Reviews
Rebbie's stay with Shannon was excellent as always. He comes home full of energy from playing with Hart. We'll probably never use anyone else!
Our dogs had a wonderful stay here! Shannon and her home are both so welcoming. Soft surfaces and dog beds abound. There is a perfect lookout for dogs that love to watch the world go by in the form of a soft perch beneath the window. Her beagle was a sweetheart. She sent numerous updates and photos that were much appreciated. She had our dogs and their items ready to go at pick up time. Highly recommend her!
I would like to thank Shannon for taking care of Cheeku over the weekend. He clearly felt at home and had a good time at Shanon's place. We appreciate that we were kept posted with pictures and updates. She was awesome and we would definitely use her service again.
Shannon and her husband are the absolute best! They are so accommodating to our schedule and take amazing care of Bear. Highly recommend!

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but the dog does need to be socialized with other dogs. I would also need to know any medical issues, food preferences, and food guarding behaviors.
A typical day
We live between Hessel Park and Westside Park so going to one of those two parks is always an option. The neighborhood also has lots of places to walk and a mini-park that our beagle enjoys going to. Toys and treats are also available should a doggie want to partake in those activities.
