Availability

I'm a teachers aide during the school year and a registered behavior technician working with children with autism throughout the year. My availability opens up in the summer months with school being out but throughout the school year I'm available weekends any time and weekdays in the evenings and also sometimes mornings and I have made lunchtime visits on my lunch break at times. Even if it says I'm unavailable that day send me a request and if the time works I'll do it! I'm very flexible.

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your specific instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet. While providing your pet's basic needs I will also provide plenty of love and cuddles and playtime if and when permitted!

Information Shannon K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs your pet may have or any quirks, things I should know before taking them out and before leaving the visit. Telling me things your dog really likes helps too, like a favorite treat or toy or activity.

A typical day

I get to know the pet first let them smell me and get acquainted before I take them out. After walking them we will have some playtime and or cuddle time, either running around the park or yard, playing fetch or playing with their favorite toy. Mental and physical stimulation is so important for them especially when they're home alone.

Cuddles & care for your furbabies

Pet care experience

I've had pets my whole life, I grew up with 1 dog and 3 cats in the household. I've had pets ever since and couldn't see my life without them. My furry daughter was adopted 6 1/2 years ago and with her we hired a trainer and I am grateful for and learned alot from that trainer. I will carry that experience with me and use what I've learned when caring for your pets.

Shannon took great care of our cat, kiko. She asked great questions and kept food bowls and litter box tidy. Even though our cat hid a lot of the time, she was patient and persistent.
