Pet care experience

Experienced Animal Lover

I am a Grand Island, NY resident providing care for pets and their families on the island. Whether you are an island resident or passing through on your travels, I would love to care for your fur babies like my own! I have lived with and taken care of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters) my entire life. I have a passion for animals and nurturing them with tender loving care. I have experience and am comfortable with dog/puppy and cat training, administering medications, and caring for animals after injury and significant illness. Animals warm my heart. I look forward to taking care of yours and will treat them as my own!!

Shannon was amazing with our two cats. She was very attentive during the meet&greet and I could tell during the visit she put a lot of care into her drop-ins. We will definitely be rebooking with her for future trips

House Sitting • Jul 06, 2026

We have never used a dog sitting service before and we're skeptical at first. As soon as we met Shannon we had a great feeling an d peace of mind. Our Max( standard poodle) gravitated to her instantly. She was caring and very attentive to his needs. She asked a lot of questions about him. She sent pics all day of his progress. Thank you Shannon for loving our Max!

Shannon was so kind and did an excellent job taking care of our 2 kitties while we were away! She spent time with the kitties and took care of them as if they were her own! Highly recommend her for any pet needs!

Shannon was amazing with our two cats and we will most definitely be rebooking with her in the future! She made a point to send regular pictures and photos and provide detailed updates everyday. Highly recommended Shannon especially if you’re on Grand Island!
