I treat your family like my family! While your babies are with me, they will get spoiled with love and attention! KW has many wonderful trails to explore which give me an opportunity to stimulate their mental and physical needs. I accomodate many energy levels and my walks will cater to their physical needs so they are tired when they come home! I'm always up for a good play session too! I follow instructions well and I am great at anticipating the needs of your fur babies. I value open and honest communication throughout each visit; which means lots of pictures and videos of our activities, regular updates of our time together and complete transparency!

Pet care experience
Animal care is my passion! As a full-time pet sitter, I enjoy combining my passion for animals with my ability to provide outstanding care based on my years of training and experience. In my 16 years in the pet industry, I have cared for many dog and cat breeds from newborn to senior and I have an immense knowledge of breed temperament. I have had the absolute pleasure of growing up with and caring for many family cats and multiple dogs including two Huskies, a Newfoundlander and a Maltese. This early exposure ignited my connection with and passion for animals. I currently "belong" to two crazy and amazing cats. 😹 I am experienced in dog grooming, working with rescue organizations, whelping and caring for newborn puppies, dog walking, positive reinforcement training, leash training, administration of medications, boarding care, sanitation, hygiene and special diet requirements.
Cat care experience
Shannon also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Thank you so much! Shannon did a great job and was very responsive and a great communicator. The cats loved her!
Shannon is just the absolute best. We are so comforted knowing she is taking such good care of our kitties and the house which alleviates that part of travel stress. She is truly awesome!
Absolutely love Shannon and so does my cat Oliver! He is a nervous cat who requires meds and she takes such good care of him. He's never hiding and always greeting her at the door, which is huge for him and says so much about the care she puts in while she's visiting. She gives tons of detail in her updates with lots of photos, always going above and beyond! I will continue to have her as my pet sitter over and over again, and can't recommend her enough.
I would highly recommend Shannon, she's absolutely wonderful! She really cares about animals and took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She went above and beyond in terms of engaging with him with activities, care and affection. She always left us a thorough note with lots of pictures too. We'll be sure to book Shannon next time we're away!
