Safety, trust & environment

I spend a lot of time walking around my neighborhood, and I would love to let your dog explore too - I know the benefits that a good dose of exercise can have for both dogs and humans alike! I am also aware that every dog is different, and would love to get to know your dog's personality as I spend some time with them. I know some dogs (especially puppies) need a bit of time to get to know me, so I try to be patient with them, and make sure they feel comfortable around me.

Information shannon c. would like to know about your pet

A brief description of your dog's personality, and how social they are around other animals or people. I would also like to know how to get their attention if they are distracted (e.g. treat, toy, etc.). Finally, I would like to know their daily routine and whether or not they usually get exercise through walks, dog park runs, or playing at home.

A typical day

I would love to play in my backyard with your dog, or bring them to the neighborhood dog park for them to play and meet friends (if that’s something they like to do). If it’s bad weather out, I love playing inside or making a fun mental game for your dog by hiding treats or making a lick mat for them.

Dog Lover with Fenced Backyard

Pet care experience

Hey everyone, my name is Shannon and I have had a love of dogs since I was very little. I have experience dog sitting and walking a variety of breeds (including several puppies), and I would love to spend some time with your furry friend! Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions about my experience or background, and I hope you consider me as an option!

Dogs were at ease the moment they went through the door. Shannon sent updates and pictures which kept us at ease leaving the pups in her and Rob’s care. One of the pups needs extra care and they both ensured that her needs were well taken care of. They were so well cared for that they were both exhausted when then came home.

Thanks for watching our senior german shepherd! We loved the daily updates and photos, and taking her for walks while managing her reactivity to other dogs. She came back home happy and content and we would be more than happy for her to stay with you again :)
