Pet care experience
I have had a dog since the day I was born and I firmly believe a family isn’t complete without a pet. I now have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 guinea pigs and I couldn’t imagine my life without them! I graduated from The University of Delaware in 2019 with my degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology and have made my passion for working with animals a reality. I have spent the past 4 years working at The Raptor Trust, a rehabilitation center for wild birds. While working here I have gained valuable experience learning how to administer medications and injections, check for broken bones, and perform basic medical exams. I also spent three months last year working at Avian Behavior International one of the top bird training facilities in the country. During my time there, I trained a variety of animals, including dogs, pigs, poultry, hoofstock, parrots, and birds of prey utilizing operant conditioning with a focus on positive reinforcement. I also studied animal behavior and body language, which taught me multiple ways to work through behavioral problems that might arise. I have a very flexible schedule so feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to work with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews
Shannon was friendly, on time and great with Churro. Thanks!
Shannon is great! My dog is not always the best with walking on a leash, but she got him to walk over a mile twice! I will most definitely recommend her and will be using her for when I am away as long as she is with Rover! What a great service!!
As Shannon's mother I can tell you she was born with a love for animals. We have had several animals through her years growing up from the normal cats and dogs to the not so normal hamsters and bearded dragons. Throughout the years, unlike many children that ask for pets, she remained active in the care of all our pets. She is always up for a hike with our two current dogs, always willing to help with dog baths, and has actively participated in taking them to the vet. I personally believe her love for not just dogs but all animals gives me confidence that she would love anybody's pet as if it were her own.
Shannon C. watches my Great Dane and cat on weekends when I am away and my only complaint is that when she shows up they seem more excited to see her than when I come home from work. It's mildly infuriating, but at the same time I know she is the right person for the job. Since hiring her my pets have had a more improved mental outlook on life and are happier socially. At times I can be slightly picky in terms of my pets, but she is always happy to accommodate and take care of the unique and different needs of my babies.

Information Shannon C. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference about dog types or breeds I love them all. Before sitting a dog all I need to know is what makes them most comfortable, if they’re scared of anything or if any activities would stress them so that your dog can have the best experience with me.
A typical day
I’m a personal fan of long hikes in the woods or parks and all they’re missing right now is a dog. I love being outside as I’m sure your dog does so we will get plenty of outdoor play from walks to frisbee and tug to whatever your dog desires.
