Pet care experience

Roam while the pets are home.

Hi, my name is Shannon. I grew up with pets and have been a pet mom for most of my life. I can't imagine a life without them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, small birds, and fish. Most of my experience is with dog and cat ownership. I'm comfortable with pets in all life stages, and I have a special place in my heart for senior pets. I grew up in the mountains of Vermont so I'm not afraid of inclement weather. Rest assured that I will arrive on time regardless of the weather conditions. I am happy to take long walks and get lots and lots of exercise with your best friend. I hike regularly and spend a lot of my free time outside. I also make gemstone meditation beads and donate part of the sales to animal rescue efforts around the world. I am happy to spend time with your pets and give them lots of attention while they are in my care. Don't hesitate to ask me questions. I'm here for you and your family. Namaste, Shannon

My cats enjoyed their time with Shannon. I was particularly pleased to learn that my old cat who can easily be distressed or anxious was friendly and social during the time away. She is definitely a cat whisperer for the aging cats!

Shannon was great. Thanks for feeding and checking in on our cats. Would definitely ask Shannon again the next time we need a pet sitter.

We went out of town for 5 days and Shannon took amazing care of our two dogs. I was nervous leaving them with someone new, but it was clear upon meeting Shannon for our meet and greet that my pups liked her right away! She definitely set my mind at ease with updates and photos while we were away, and was quick to respond when I sent a message. I would definitely book Shannon again!

I normally rely on family but found myself needing a daytime sitter on short notice for two dogs on two consecutive days. Shannon was very accommodating, had good communication, and took great care of my two Aussie girls (including my 16 year old senior girl). Thank you!
