Family-Focused Pet Care With Heart

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members. In addition to years of hands-on experience, I also spent 4 years working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant/technician, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Additionally I have fostered for local rescues, litters of puppies to senior pups, all with individual needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication administration, senior support, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care every step of the way.

Shannon is one of the most caring, dependable, and attentive people I know. Last year, while my family was on vacation, Shannon cared for our five dogs and two cats while we were out of town. As any pet owner knows, it can be incredibly difficult to find someone you truly trust with your fur babies, which is why this was the first vacation we had been able to take in a long time. They say God works in mysterious ways, and that certainly felt true when we found Shannon. From the very beginning, she treated our pets as if they were her own. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind, especially since it was our first time leaving them in someone else’s care. Shannon genuinely loves animals, and it shows in everything she does. She is responsible, thoughtful, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, active, and loved. Any pet owner would feel confident entrusting their furry family members to her care. I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy, and exceptional pet sitter or walker.

Shannon was an excellent caring for our dogs while I was away on a work trip. I even recommended her to my family members for when they go out of town. Her veterinary experience helped me out when she suggested certain food and recommended a clinic when she noticed my dog was acting unusual.
