Rn retiring to help animals now!

Pet care experience

Yes. I’m a RN with an active Texas license in good standing. I plan to keep my license current, I just needed a change and I love animals, and people Let your pet come here and get a vacation right along with you. Pet Paw-rents have trouble leaving their fur babies with someone not only when it’s the first time, but even when you have done it multiple times. I can give you the piece of mind, that is a MUST, while your fur baby is with me. I’ve always been an advocate for anyone or anything considered vulnerable. That’s elderly, handicapped, children, and animals. Because they cannot defend themselves, much of the time. It’s important to be able to recognize signs of abuse/neglect, and stop it. Your pets are consistently given a loving, caring, nurturing stay. They deserve that! It’s hard enough being away from their Paw-rent, home, security, their safe place. They need patience, compassion, understanding, warm smiles, hugs. kisses, and lots of love to help fill that void. I have many years of experience working with animals, as a vet tech with a now retired vet in Waterloo, Iowa, and I used to volunteer my time at various rescue leagues, animal shelters. I can take animals with high needs, including ones needing medication admin, insulin, etc. I love all fur babies/animals. I have always had a pet growing up, including dogs and cats. Animals are such a joy. They bring me happiness! I plan on offering a fur baby cam in the near future. A camera will go up, will be no audio, just visual for all the Paw-rents to tap in and see what their loved fur baby is up too. Once installed, you will get access when you drop off your pet. It will be open to check in during normal business hours. I will inform of these hours at the time. I will still do pics and videos, just not as many will be needed with this. I do offer 10% off if you are a returning customer. If you would like more information, let me know! Lastly, in an effort to give the pets a home like atmosphere, I’ve had to purchase diapers for those that like to tinkle in the home. Paw rents can purchase these at 2 dollars each. Or you can just purchase a pk of 12 for $20 .00. If you are not agreeable to purchasing any, then unfortunately your pet will be crated and let out for food/water, and to go potty every 2-4 hours. I will always contact you if they are wetting asking what you would like to do so there will Be no surprises. I strive to be the best at what I do! With that said, I know I’m not always going to do things right, to your liking, or how you would. Im not perfect. So please, if you have a concern, were unhappy, or simply have some insight to give, let me hear it! I cannot do better, get better, if I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, or could be doing better. Communication and transparency are so vital to me. I don’t say one thing and do another. I try to give every pet a customized, INDIVIDUAL, stay. All animals are unique, and just as different as you and I. It’s not an 1 for all here. I fortunate a care plan for each pet I care for, striving to keep them safe, and their routine just as consistent as what they are used/accustomed to. It’s too confusing if you change everything up. What you can be sure of, is I will always do what’s in the best interest of the pet. ALWAYS! Thank you for entrusting your sweet babies with me

Shannon was very attentive to our dog’s needs and followed all instructions. She went above and beyond expectations and even left a thorough log of all her activities. I highly recommend booking Shannon!

We had a great experience with Shannon. She was very communicative and sent pictures/videos daily. I could tell our Scout was spoiled and loved on. We will definitely use Shannon again!

Safety, trust & environment

What sets me apart from other sitters? First, is I will be offering access to a fur baby can to owners to log in and see what their baby is doing whenever they want during business hours. I am totally transparent and have nothing to hide, therefore I want my pet owners to know they can see their babies whenever works best for them, and it will give them the piece of mind they need. Will be visual, no audio (due to privacy issues) pics and videos will still be done, just won’t need as many. This is coming soon, depending on business:). Your pets are ALWAYS and Consistently given patience,love, understanding, compassion, and treats (lol). I give baths at no cost if your pet is with me for 3 + days. I supply treats/bones, etc. I have a “treasure chest” FULL of dog and Cat treats. Trust me, your fur baby will know exactly where this is! I have a pet and child free home. Only animals are sitter animals. I have a large corner lot fenced in back yard, treated for fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, and other insects, quarterly. Home atmosphere for your pet most of the time. I strive for open and free. No locking them up unless I’m leaving home (which is very infrequently) at night if needed or wanted, crate training, owner request, and most importantly, briefly to maintain safety of all in order to go outside/potty breaks. I strive to maintain a free style sitter service, if having multiple pets from different families are being simultaneously boarded, and there are safety concerns, then I do my best to come as close to freestyle as allows. If you have any ?’s as to what this looks like, etc. Please request a meet/greet. I will NEVER turn down. I actually think they are important for both parties:).

Information Shannon B. would like to know about your pet

No job is too big for a RN caring for animals. Do you have a diabetic dog? I have experience with insulin injections to dogs. I know CPR and first aid. Your pet would be in loving, caring hands. Please be aware that if you choose a drop off time and pick up time from say 0800-8:00pm but you drop off at 0800 but pick up at 4:00 pm there will be extra charges for the extra time. Anything from 2-8 hours is 50% of my daily fee, and anything over 8 hours is a full days price. Please plan accordingly. Rover or I will make these modifications for the extra time. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

A typical day

I will keep your dogs stimulated mentally and physically with walks, bathroom/backyard outings every 1-2 hours during the day. We will encounter many smells in my neighborhood so your dog will know who has been in the area. Did you know according to a dog documentary, dogs can tell the sex, breed, age, time elapsed since done, and much more by the smell of another dogs urine/feces. Makes sense why they want to sniff so long lol. That’s a lot of info to process. ?

I’m currently only doing pet sitting so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pet/babies. Your pet(s)/babies will be my priority. I’m happy to keep detailed notes of your pets stay with me, as well as send photos, and updates often, and as much as needed. I will keep you informed. They will always be in a loving, caring, environment.*** Please know this is my business, so I may have other pets here and booked at the same time as yours. Safety is, has been, and always will be my #1 priority. I have the space and the help to keep dogs separated if they don’t get along or if that’s what has to be done to maintain everyone’s safety, without keeping them locked in a crate or a room all day. Letting them be “free” is what I strive for. This is very important to me as a sitter. I want to be different. Anyone can lock a dog in a crate or kennel them all day. I believe my business is not only better, but night and day difference. Are you a returning customer? Message me and I will automatically deduct 15% of your total charges with exception of the Rover fees/charges. But you must mention you seen this on my profile to save the 15%. I will not automatically deduct this. This is an incentive to read my entire profile😀 Thank you so much for putting your trust in me, it means so very much!!!
