Pet care experience
I grew up with multiple family pets, dogs, cats, Fish, hermit crabs, I even had a sugar glider! I've always loved spending time with animals, and volunteered in highschool at the local Humane Society of Pasco County Florida, caring for domestic and even exotic animals, everything from horses to emus and tortoises. I lived on a Ranch in Texas for 8 years with cows and chickens, and worked for 5 at a kennel that boarded all kinds of animals, and could hold up to 140 dogs during major holiday seasons. I have experience giving medications, following specific dietary restrictions, I am very active and capable of walking long distances with multiple dogs, or large dogs, and I know the area very well. Currently I take care of my mom and grandma, our 7 cats, 3 large dogs, and a rabbit, and I can take care of any kind of animal! I have such a passion for animals and soothing anxious pets, and I'm very flexible and always available.
Reviews
Shannon is super great! A personality that you’ll enjoy and so will your pet. Raina is still active but I had no doubt Shannon could handle her. She went beyond my expectations and was patient, kind and very observant of my pet. That means a lot, especially when I’m at work for long day - I know Raina is in good hands. Shannon communicates well, is timely and I would highly recommend her!
Shannon is great with animals! She has navigated some difficult situations with other dogs and vehicles on the road. My dog just loves her. As an added bonus, she takes really cute pics on their walks.
Shannon was wonderful. She spent ample time with our kitty and sent lots of photos of their time together. She was very accommodating and considerate of our things. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future!
Shannon was great! Lots of communication with me and she was very attentive to my cats. She found creative ways to play with them and make them comfortable. She went above and beyond for me and my cats!

Information Shannon D. would like to know about your pet
I have taken care of every kind of dog, special needs, dogs recovering from surgery, seniors, aggressive dogs, and puppies, so before meeting your pet I feel like it is important to know whether your dog is highly anxious, afraid of loud noises or strangers, or animal aggressive. It's nothing I can't work with, but it's better to go into the relationship knowing that kind of information.
A typical day
Every dog is different, my 3 dogs all have different ways of playing, favorite toys, favorite activities, favorite places to walk or get scratches, so I know the value of building a bond with your pet and learning what they like to do most.
