Experienced pet lover w/ large yard
Pet care experience
I am a long-time animal lover who has a lot of experience taking care of senior dogs, puppies, big (80+) dogs, and small (2+) dogs. I have experience administering medicine and tube-feedings and calming dogs (and cats) with high anxiety. I am also pet CPR-certified. Our house has a big yard that is perfect for dogs to get lots of exercise and play. I also have plenty of rooms for boarding dogs and crate-trained dogs if requested. I allow pets in the bed and on furniture. I can go on runs daily with dogs and provide additional walks and play. I can also go on hikes if requested. I have one 9 year-old, 8-lb yorkiepoo. He is more of a people dog, but he is very playful and will play if prompted by other dogs. He is neutered and has all his shots, including his flu shot.
Reviews
The best cat-sitter in Alexandria! So caring, responsive, and kind. Shannon is our first choice whenever we need a cat sitter.
Shannon is one of my go-to dog sitters. She is very attentive to my whiny chiweenie, Willar who devours anything edible in sight. On the way back home from spending time with Shannon and Roscoe, Willar did some whining to let me know she missed them!

Shannon took great care of my fur baby, making sure he had all the love and cuddles! Thank you Shannon!

I have a large, fenced-in yard, and I have a small, friendly dog to keep your baby company. Pets are allowed on furniture, but I can follow other rules if required. My dog is not crate-trained, but I also can accompany crate-trained dogs. I spend a lot of my day reading and studying, so there is a lot of snuggle/lay down time. I also go on multiple walks with my dog daily and often go to the nearby park as well. I also will follow any feeding guidelines highlighted by owners.
