Absolute animal lover

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover of all kinds who is here to provide your babies love, affection and care when needed. I have my own personal experience with caring for my own cats and pet sitting for dogs in all walks of life. I am passionate about keeping your animals happy and well cared for and treating them as though they were my own. I am a student with a flexible schedule and able to host animals either in my home or yours depending on their needs. I hope to provide loving care and a trusting and happy environment for animals of all kinds and in all walks of life. I aim to provide physical and mental enrichment through exercise, games and activities. I also use a gentle and patient evidence-based positive reinforcement approach to training both on leash and off for challenges such as reactivity, resource guarding and so on! Please reach out if you have any more questions and would be interested in my services!

Shannon was amazing with our dog Cooper. She was always on time for drop in visits and gave him lots of love and attention! We loved looking at all the adorable pictures she took during her visits and Cooper was the happiest dog when we returned!

I greatly appreciate Shannon's commitment and attention to our cat Stella! She thought of things she could help with that we hadn't initially thought about (e.g. nail clipping) and stayed for a longer visit on a day our cat was seeming a bit more lonely. We are very grateful for Shannon's excellent care.

Information Shannon G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences ahead of time. It’s valuable if I can know a bit about their personalities and what they are comfortable and uncomfortable with (eg. cats, other dogs, etc.). Please also inform me of any training you’re working on so I can include it! For sitting services, please be advised that I have two cats in my home.

A typical day

Everything depends on the dogs needs and abilities. I have a big backyard full of toys, balls, sticks and room to run for dogs who are a little bit more timid. I also live in a lovely neighborhood with lots of places to walk and other friendly dogs around to socialize with. There are dog parks in my area as well.
