Information Shannon G. would like to know about your pet

Do they have any aggression toward other dogs, food, or toys? Is there anything they especially enjoy or that helps them feel most comfortable? Can they have treats?

A typical day

I live in a pet-friendly apartment with an on-site dog park and a long trail right nearby, perfect for exercise, enrichment, and sniff breaks. I love taking dogs on long walks, park visits, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. Whether your pet wants to run, explore, or just enjoy extra fresh air, I make sure they stay active, happy, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family has always had one or two Golden’s and had cats as well. I worked at an animals hospital for 4 years where I work with the boarded dogs. I would have to feed these dogs, walk them 2 times a day and bath them. I know how to handle large dogs, aggressive dogs and senior dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and love to be in their presence. I have a bunch of experience taking care of dogs and need my dog fix since I cannot afford my own at the moment. I had to move away from my puppy so I am more than happy to watch your dog so I can get my dog fix.

Shannon was such an amazing cat sitter for us, while we were out of town for the holidays! This was our first time leaving our cat, Boh for more than a weekend and she made us feel so much better about it. She sent daily update pictures/videos and was super responsive. 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again for Boh.
