Safety, trust & environment

Without being too curt, I ensure the dog is comfortable, safe, fed, and loved. I think this is too complicated of a question to answer in a brief box as all dogs vary and require different amounts of affection, interaction outside, medicine, et cetera et cetera.. But I am one of those people who calls my dogs my kids and I do believe they as a species deserve so much more.

Information Shannon C. would like to know about your pet

Escape artists, triggers, odd behaviors. This will not prevent a sitting, this will simply ensure a good and safe time for your furbaby while you're away.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, it could be yard play, a walk, field trip for a hike-- currently I have the free time and the ability to be flexible so Im taking advantage of that.

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Shae and I think I'd be a great option for you to consider as a dog friend. The past six or so years I've worked, managed, and assisted multiple different rescue organizations and have learned so much about the dogs in my care that it truly has become a profession. Before that I was a regular dog boarder/walker in Washington state on Rover & Wag which is where my reviews start from. Parents used to participate in world shows with our GSD growing up so I had young and immediate exposure to working lines and I've also had a stint working with wildlife between gigs/states. Ive worked in a spay/neuter clinic as a tech, completed animals CPR, and Ive managed animal transports which basically means I drove dogs who are out of time here in the south into the north for a better chance at life. While on transport with me, it is my job to walk them, care for them, and soothe them on the long, stressful** journey. Now Im taking care of my grandpa so I am always home. *Able to administer oral medication, and injections *Comfortable with most special cases (behaviourally or medically) *Able to care for seniors, or sense-impaired *Typically will gage health, comfort, & energy level and do playgroups; large w large and small w small dogs only. If you do not want you're pup interacting w others, please specify as I am able to keep everyone separated via sections of the home and yard rotations. Though typically when grouped, they have in-out access for 85% of the day but are supervised 100% of that time as my working space is indoor/outdoor. If multi-boarding (usually just around holidays), I do crate overnight (indoors) roughly 10pm to 7am. Multiple dogs from same home, or pups that find crates stressful, that are not destructive when alone can sleep in the guest bedroom. . Overall I'm pretty flexible and do this for the love of dogs, so if you have concerns, questions, or preferences, please feel free to shoot me a message! My pups are my world and I understand how stressful leaving them can be so I send lots of pictures and do my best to show them theyre loved while puppy-parents are away.

Shannon was great! She kept us updated daily and quick to respond. Her and her fur babies treated my pup like he was part of the family and I came home to a happy tired dog. Will definitely use again!

Shae was AMAZING at making my dog and I feel comfortable with her boarding services! My rescue pitty can be a bit nervous in new places/with new people, and Shae took the time to properly introduce her to the space and ensure positive introductions with her dogs. She sent updates during the stay and my pup came home happy & healthy. Would highly recommend Shae’s services!

Shannon was so excellent with our dogs! Our lab and pit stayed with her for almost two weeks and based on all the pictures, they had a great time! She let us come by ahead of time for a meet and greet and I appreciated how she asked all the necessary questions (feedings, meds, etc) and she slowly introduced all of the dogs one at a time to ensure they all got along, and they did! I felt our pups were comfortable and well taken care of throughout their stay. Would absolutely have her watch my pups again!
