I am so happy to find Shannon to take care of three cats when we are away for 8 days. She is very well look after my cats, including give one of my cats oral medicine. In the future, if we need hire someone to take care my cats and my dog, for sure I will have her to do it again.

Shannon was excellent taking care of my kitties. She went above and beyond in caring for my cats. Shannon sent photos daily and on occasion videos. One video was one of my cats rubbing against her. I had no worries or concerns with Shannon. I was having problems getting and receiving text and emails When she didn’t hear from me, Shannon touched base with my son as requested. I will certainly use Shannon in the future and would recommend her as well.
