About Shannon C.

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.
Reviews
Shannon is a dog person. She is very accommodating and works with your schedule.
Shannon was an absolutely great host for our Chiweenie Biscuit. It was our first time using a service like this and it was Biscuit's first trip from home in his 2 yrs. Shannon was very comforting when she met us and put us at ease with updates and photos. She has the perfect spot for her animals inside and outside. Biscuit made 1 new human friend and 2 new dog friends. Thank you so much Shannon, you made this experience easy and stress free. We will definitely use your services again on our next trip that Biscuit can't go on.
Shannon was wonderful with our newly adopted dog. She was quick to respond to texts, kept us updated regularly, and was incredibly patient with him as he adjusted. Since he recently came from foster care, earning his trust is important, and Shannon was so gentle and understanding with him. We truly appreciated the care and kindness she showed and would absolutely recommend her!
Shannon was great! She made sure Neyland was introduced to the other dogs without overwhelming him, she was responsive and kept us updated. He seemed to have a good time and loved being there. I would absolutely use Shannon as a sitter again. :)
