Private Stays, One Family at a Time

I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember and have cared for countless pets over the years. I previously had a Shepherd/Akita mix and currently share my home with two very loved Shih-Tzus, ages 12 and 6, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and ages. I work from home, which means your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced backyard and a dog door for pups who enjoy having easy access to the outdoors. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family. I’m attentive, dependable and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. And, of course, belly rubs are my love language. ❤️

Shannon was amazing. Sent messages and pics. My pup was so well taken care of. I’ll definitely be a repeat client.

Shannon is amazing!!! She took my dog for many walks. She played fetch with him…which is his favorite thing to do. Shannon was caring and so kind to my Sammy and me.

Shannon is soo wonderful! You can tell she truly loves animals. My dog is a rescue and can be slow to warm up to new people but she loved Shannon immediately. It is really reassuring when I work long days to know someone who truly cares about and deeply loves animals is checking on my dog. She also is very knowledgeable about animals and goes out of her way to meet their needs. I am so thankful to have found her. I strongly recommend her!

I could not ask for a better person to walk and board my dog. She clearly loves dogs. Her communication is great - and sometimes really funny as she narrates a walk! She takes great care of my dog, and treats him so well. I am pretty sure my dog was annoyed with me for having to leave behind his new dog friends after having a blast with them.

Literally couldnt ask for a better dog sitter. She took him on so many adventures, constantly updating with pics and how he's adjusting to the new environment. She was also super sweet, I will absolutely be going back when I need another sitter. My doggo came back happy and wore out from all the playing. 10/10 highly recommend:)

Schedule

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals and plenty of attention. Your pup won’t be spending long stretches of the day alone—I genuinely enjoy having some four-legged company while I work!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced backyard, a dog door for easy outdoor access, and two friendly Shih Tzus who are used to sharing their home. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and will make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to relax. Since I’m home throughout the day, there’s plenty of supervision, attention and, naturally, belly rubs.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day here is pretty relaxed and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. Since I work from home, I’m around for plenty of potty breaks, backyard exploring, playtime and—very importantly—couch cuddles. We’ll get out for walks around the neighborhood, have some supervised backyard time, and play as much (or as little!) as your pup wants. High-energy dogs can get their wiggles out, while seniors and professional nappers are equally welcome to claim a cozy spot near me while I work. I follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping schedule as closely as possible, and I’ll send regular photos and updates so you can see what we’re up to. My goal is for your dog’s stay to feel less like boarding and more like a sleepover at their favorite aunt’s house.

Takes only 1 client at a time
Shannon can host up to 2 pets per night
Before your pup’s stay, I’d love to know about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications or allergies, house-training, sleeping preferences and any special quirks I should know about. Most importantly, because I have two small dogs of my own, please let me know how your dog does with other dogs—especially smaller ones. I want to make sure everyone feels safe, comfortable and happy. A meet & greet before their first stay is always encouraged!
