Pet care experience

Animal caretaker with 35+ yrs exp

I have cared for my pets since young child and have owned my own 4acre farmette for last 27yrs. I have horses, chickens, fish, and an amazing Mail-Dutchie dog. I have a work from home career allowing me flexibility to be home and have also worked for a leading pet kennel/training/boarding/grooming facility that allowed me hands on handling for many different breed, size, difficulty, and aged pets. Trustworthy and reliable and enjoy all the wonderful and beautiful personalities our pets have and embrace them all! Dogs allowed on bed for sleeping time to cuddle but not on furniture. Prefer dogs that can feel comfortable in a roomy kennel should need arise to leave my home for a couple hours as to keep all fur babies safe in their own space while unsupervised. Well mannered pups preferred, Photos and videos provided during days activities. Attentive and loving, I’ll treat your pet like my own!

This was the first time we've left our dogs with someone and we're definitely glad it was with Shannon. They were very well taken care and happy when we picked them up. Shannon stayed in daily contact and sent photos and videos of our fur babies enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Shannon and plan on rebooking when we take our next vacation.

We had the opportunity to have Shannon take care of our two dogs for the second time. Shannon is absolutely wonderful with our dogs. We get pictures and updates regularly. We are usually a little nervous about leaving our dogs, but when they are with Shannon we don’t worry at all! She is the best!

Shannon is wonderful and caring and our dogs immediately felt comfortable with her and her sweet dog. Shannon took care of our two dogs and had such a good time …. they weren’t even excited to see me! We are thrilled with the care our dogs received. We are so happy that we have found a wonderful and trustworthy person to take care of our sweet dogs.

We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.
