About Shannon F.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I use positive reinforcement with praise and or treats. If an energetic dog is in my care then I will make sure they get exercise. Depending on the specific animals’ needs I pay attention to what puts them at ease.
Information Shannon F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know something about your dog or cat that might not stand out right away. If you don’t have anything to note that’s okay I will still work my magic! Ie ask them something in American Sign Language and see what they find intelligible!
A typical day
Parks! It depends on where one lives but I aspire to go to the greenest, friendlist places with shade and water. Depending on the dog, I will facilitate activity that suits the needs of different breeds, ie running exercise with shepherds or young larger breeds, fetching with retrievers, or taking it easy with older smaller breeds

Pet care experience
I have grown up with pets: 1 yorkie teacup, 3 yellow labs, a labradoodle, 3 cats. My parents would breed their lab Daisy, and so I have a lot of experience with taking care of 8-11 puppies simultaneously. I have gone through dog training courses and puppy training courses with multiple dogs. In my adulthood, I’ve babysat chihuahuas, pit bulls, and mixed breeds on and off for friends. As a young child, I wanted a career in working with animals. I have acquired a lot of knowledge about breeds, care, body language, and training with many different canine personalities. I love all dogs. My love for animals have contributed to a lot of positive development in my life. I am an avid cyclist and outdoors enthusiast—like dogs— people need activity and care in the outside world!

Reviews
Shannon went so above and beyond and could not recommend more!! Extremely great with our two (cute but anxious) dogs, very communicative, and was able to work with our really hectic schedule. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Shannon was amazing. She quickly got comfortable with the animals and they clearly took to her. She did the various routines and introduced some new variety, too. The quality of care of the pets was superb and she did many extras that went above and beyond while housesitting. Look forward to working with her once more!
Shannon always takes quality care of our cats and goes the extra mile by taking out trash and washing dishes! I’m very thankful!
Shannon is always our first choice in pet sitter! The pets and house are so well cared for! Shannon does amazing with our dogs medical issues and we feel so at ease when he is in her care!
