Let's be friends!
Pet care experience
I love meeting new animals and making new friends as well as reconnecting with all my old ones! Each soul is important to me and I enjoy my experiences with them. I am happy to fill in for their mama's and papa's and keep reminding them that you will always be back soon. Plus I'll do my best to keep your space clean and ready for you to come home to. I do prefer to care for your dogs and cats in your home. I find it helps the animals feel more secure to be in their familiar environment, and plus, they won’t feel like they’re being given away either.
Reviews
Shannon did an awesome job watching our two dogs overnight at our house. She sent regular picture updates and kept us in the loop with everything happening while we were away. She even proactively suggested pumpkin when one of our dogs was having some potty issues - definitely above and beyond for a sitter. When we got home they seemed relaxed and happy!
Shannon is a great house and pet sitter.
Shannon is a loving and compassionate person. My dogs love her and I feel confident in knowing that my pets and home are well taken care of while I travel. I highly recommend Shannon!
Our 3 dogs love Shannon! She gives them the attention they need, cares for them while we’re away and is very patient with them. We have known Shannon for 3 years, but started a couple of years ago caring for our mixed breed pets. Her positive vibe and caring personality brings out the dog whisperer in her. Highly recommend Shannon for any dog lover out there! - T.M.

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your directions on what your pet is used to and/or requires. If it's walks, kennels, commands, sleeping in the bed or not allowed on the bed, etc., I will follow your instructions.
Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet
Please be sure to tell me if your pet has anything I need to look out for, such as reoccurring ear infections that they may need ear drops for, what their schedules are, favorite toys and blankets, if they are allowed on the furniture or not, things of that sort.
A typical day
I am happy to walk around your neighborhood if there's nice, easy sidewalks or trails. Once we know each other better, or if it's your preference, then I'll take them around townlake or a dog park.

Availability
I currently work full time but end by 4:30. Occasionally I am able to pop in during the day if needed, like if you have an early flight out the first day and the animals aren’t used to that. The rest of my time is flexible to accommodate more with your pets needs. An important note about the holidays, only during this time, Thanksgiving and Christmas, my elderly aunt comes with me to sit. She uses a cane and stairs are challenging for her because of her knees. I am always looking out for her wherever I sit to insure there is a bedroom and bathroom easily accessible to her. This is always discussed prior to any sits and is usually easy to work out. All sheets and areas cleaned up as well.
