Information Shannon G. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your pet has special needs, I can cater to his or her specific feeding, playing, and resting schedule. Would be good to know if there are any triggers for the animal as well, so we can avoid them or be more prepared for reactions.

A typical day

I love interacting with the animals by first developing trust. Once it's established, we can play! Some play time activities would be fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, tricks with treats, or simply belly and back rubs!

K9 trained, happy & fun experience!

Pet care experience

Hi!! I've lived with and cared for multiple dogs over the past 20+ years. I've completed advanced K9 training in addition to Petco/PetSmart puppy training programs. I love animals, I'm an easy and reliable person to work with, I'm very mobile, love going on walks, and am experienced in leash training as well!

Shannon was so great taking care of our senior girl! We loved getting photos and updates while we were out of town. We picked up a very happy pup and would definitely recommend Shannon!

Shannon took great care of our pup, taking him on long walks and keeping us updated while we were away.

Shannon was a great dog & house sitter! She sent lots of pictures of the boys and always kept me updated on what they were up to. I will definitely recommend her to any friends who need a sitter!

I was very anxious to leave my 8 month old blind puppy, Bing, for a 9 day trip to Rome that was booked prior to learning he couldn't see or do sleepovers - so anxious I almost canceled! I'm very glad I didn't as Shannon quickly put my mind at ease with regular updates and pictures. I came home to a happy, happy boy dog and will definitely use her again. Thank you, Shannon!
