Active, Loving, and Fun Caretaker!

Pet care experience

My family has always, always had dogs and I've had 15+ years of experience dog walking and dog sitting both in my own home or in the pet-owners. I'm very, active and outdoorsy so depending on their own activity level and comfort I can walk, run, swim, hike, and play however long they can. I have my own dog who loves to play outside and can guarantee your pet will get a lot of love, attention, and exercise. I've had experience raising and caring for puppies as well as taking care of older dogs with special needs. I also have a notable amount of experience with dogs who have high anxiety and require a careful level of attention. I'm happy to spend time with dogs of any shape and size and am happy to provide references - let me know how I can help you and your pups! I'm currently working remotely so your pet will seldom, if at all, be left alone. My own dog needs a lot of exercise - we usually walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening and go on longer hikes or outings on the weekends. We have a good sized two bedroom apartment - walking distance to a nice dog park and a pretty pond that I frequent with my pup. I'm okay with dogs on the furniture but will keep them off if that's your preference!

We have booked a few stays with Shannon and Pepsi absolutely loves her. Pepsi gets very excited to see Shannon. Shannon has been attentive and loving. Lots of play session, long walks, and belly rubs.

Pepsi absolutely loved her stay. She got a lot of outdoor fetching time, constant belly rubs, and long walks. Shannon was very communicative and attentive to Pepsi's high energy needs. I would definitely send Pepsi to her place again and would recommend Shannon to others as well.

Shannon did great dog sitting our energetic 1.5 year old German Shepherd! She was communicative & sent frequent pictures updating us on our pup. We would certainly recommend her to others who are looking for a reliable person to take good care of their pup!

Shannon took excellent care of my pups. They loved spending time with her while I was away. They seemed super happy and loved hanging out with Whinnie!

Information Shannon G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference! Would need to know the dogs comfort level with other people and dogs, if the dog is crate and/or potty trained, if they have any anxieties or triggers, as well as their daily care info. Dogs with anxiety are fine but no aggressive dogs - our dogs must get along for me to be able to watch them

A typical day

Of course, my dog and I have our favorite spots but I’d love to meet in person to talk about your pets active routine to make sure they’re going to all their favorite places and getting as much exercise as they need.
