I am a Veterinarian Assistant 37yrs

Pet care experience

I can give medications if needed. I am great with seniors who are in pain. I rub there joints, spend extra quality time on the floor playing with there toys.. I give them extra time to play. I specialize in Special needs. I help with Potty training and anxiety. Alot of animals have separation anxiety. I try to calm them and assure them. I love Learning new likes and dislikes. I will go for walks and play in the water, throw the ball around. My younger furry friends we can go run. Play outside. Go to the doggy park. I make home made healthy treats. I do praise them all.

Shannon is an amazing lady. She took care of my 4 pets. 2 cats and 2 high strung doggies. She played with them. Slept with them all and never seemed flustered :) I was gone for 2 weeks. When I got back, it felt as though she was a permanent part of the family. My dogs cried when she left. It nearly broke my heart. I would recommend her 100 percent!

Shannon has been watching my dogs now for 6 years. She is patient, kind and thinks first of my pets and my feelings. She is very responsible. My home is always clean when I get back from my business trips. My dogs are happy when she steps through the door. I would never use anyone else. She feeds them on time. Takes them for a walk morning and night. Plays tug a war. Sleeps beside my little one. She has issues being alone. The one thing Shannon does that I love is she facetimes me with my babies! I get to see for myself that there happy. I get pictures everyday, it's amazing. I can say enough. She is one of a kind

Information Shannon D. would like to know about your pet

It would be lovely to know if your fur baby has any allergies, if anything is a trigger for them, how are they with other animals, if they have a temper.

A typical day

With dogs we'll have some playtime outside if it's nice out, play some fetch or whatever may come up at the time, maybe even snuggle time if they want any! With cats we'll keep them entertained with various toys and many snuggles if they want any! I feed them 3 times a day. We go out for potty time every 2-4 hours. Sometimes sooner if need be.
