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 took care of the pawed minions over 5 days and did a fantastic job! Top notch care for 4 cats and a neurotic dog. I was impressed with the level of communication and pics to confirm everyone was still alive and not throwing a rave while we were gone. I felt like my gremlins were cared for the entire time. 10/10 would recommend, would be happy to book again!

I was grateful Shannon stepped in last minute to watch our Tess while we went away for a week. She kept in touch regularly to let me know how it was going. I took comfort knowing she was well cared for. I will absolutely be asking her to help out with her again in the future!
