Availability

I work from home and have been for years so I'm pretty flexible. I may only leave to run errands but I am usually not gone for long periods of time. I walk my dog 3X a day, we take actual walks. She is getting old and doesn't like to be out much, but I really do enjoy the outdoors.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog roams free when I'm home. I usually crate her and will crate your dog as well if I step out. I live in a large community with plenty of walking space. I have two kids, 10 and 14 who love dogs as well, but I'm responsible for walking and taking care of the dogs. My son is the one who really likes to play with other dogs because Chloe is not a playful, fetching type of dog. I've used Rover myself a couple of times when I was out of town.

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet

If the dog has any special needs or shows cues of when they need to be walked, like barking, running to the door, etc. Also, if your dog is already on a set schedule let me know and I can usually accommodate. Some days I do I have to get my kids from the bus stop and school but it's not every day I have to.

A typical day

I usually get up around 7/8 am to take Chloe out for her first walk. If my kids are home I leave for about an hour to get them to school and she is caged at that time. We'll do another walk around noon or 1 PM depending on my meeting schedules. I'll leave again around 3 PM if I have to pick up the kids from school for about an hour (it's not every day). Then another walk around 5 or 6 PM depending on how dark it gets. I may let her out across the street later that night if she drinks water.

Pet care experience

I had a black lab growing up and now I have a 7lb chihuahua named Chloe who is super chill, harmless who keeps to herself. She acts more like a cat. I've dog sat for friends in the past as well as been a dog walker for neighbors.

Shannon is simply the best. She is a dog magnet. My dogs love her and she always takes good care of him.

Shannon is reliable, genuine, kind and provides great customer service. My dog absolutely adores her! I’m so glad she is a part of our dog village. 😊
