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.
Reviews
Shannon was amazing with Willy Wonka. She went above and beyond when taking care of him and playing with him. I would definitely recommended Shannon as your next sitter. She was great at communicating and shared the cutest pictures of my cat 😊
Shannon is excellent with my baby boy Rex. Rex is always happy after his walks with Shannon. Thank you for being for so patient and kind with my fur baby.
Excellent experience for a first time Rover booking. Shannon was prompt and friendly. My dogs liked her right away, even my nervous dog. I got lots of pictures and feedback. I would not hesitate to recommend her and would certainly request her help again !
We are so happy to have connected with Shannon. Our cats have never looked healthier or seemed happier upon our return from vacation. We loved our detailed Rover cards after each visit. Shannon was an absolute pleasure, we are so happy to have found our new cat sitter!
