Pet care experience
Having grown up in a home with cats and dogs it’s no surprise that I’d have furbabies of my own and seek to help take care of others beloved pets. I have a large breed dog whom I co-trained to be well behaved, house broken, and able to obey the typical commands every dog should know. I also have two cats, one of which was diagnosed with diabetes in 2018 so I am comfortable administering insulin injections and other medications as well as understanding the importance of carefully following strict diet regimens. Currently my schedule is extremely flexible and I am happy to be available for all your pet care needs for any upcoming event or even last minute excursions when your furry friend can’t join you. Aside from the obvious joyful task of providing your pets with ear and belly scratches, a playful game of tug of war, and (if outdoor space allows) a rousing game of fetch, I am committed to providing safe, attentive, loving care to your beloved pets. Whether that be administering medications, putting out meals, cleaning up a variety of potential pet messes that I may encounter, or having to lovingly crate a pet that is not allowed free roam, I am here to help with whatever I can to make your fur baby as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re not home.
Reviews
Shannon was great, took good care of our kitty and sent detailed updates complete with several pics.
Really great! could tell my cats were loved and cared for while I was gone. Sent detailed messages and lots of pictures!
This was my second time using Shannon. She is so thorough and professional and I totally trust her giving my senior cat insulin. I will continue to use her for every trip. Highly recommend!
Shannon is the best! She takes such great care of our cats and our home while we are away. We appreciate you!!

Information Shannon H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any restrictions in diet or physical activity and of any medical issues that I may need to address while caring for your pet. It is also helpful to know your dogs energy level and if I have the clearance to socialize them with other dogs, either at a park or with my own pets.
A typical day
Long walks are a favorite hobby of mine and I’m looking forward to having your dog join me! Some of my go-to spots are the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, just a short walk from my home, and the towpath down along the Skuylkill canal in Manayunk. My yard is a decent size, though not huge, so ‘fetch’ might be something better left to the dog park (if allowed by the individual owner) but is convenient for frequent potty breaks and lounging in the sun. And Pretzel Park is just a few blocks away for when your dog needs to expend some energy. Our friendly and fun Boxer mix, Lucia, makes for a fantastic playmate for breeds of all sizes!
