Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Care, Loving Hands
As a university student and lifelong animal lover, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds. I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters, where I work with animals of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. Growing up with special needs animals has given me extensive experience caring for pets that require extra patience, attention, and individualized support. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners to ensure their pets experience as little disruption to their routine as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the home and the animals with the utmost respect. I keep the environment clean and secure, double-check that doors, gates, and leashes are properly fastened, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. With my experience volunteering at local animal shelters and caring for animals with special needs throughout my life, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and responding calmly and responsibly. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience where both you and your pet can feel completely at ease.
Ratings and reviews
Shannon was great!
Shannon was great with my dog, Mira, and asked all the right questions. She is clearly an animal lover. I will absolutely book her again. Thanks Shannon!
Shannon cared for my two cats while I was gone for a week. They were well cared for and happy when I returned. I got daily updates of my boys and they received lots of love and snuggles. I would highly recommend Shannon!

Schedule
As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Between classes, I regularly volunteer at local animal shelters and make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. Caring for animals is already a natural part of my week, and I’m committed to making sure each pet gets the attention, patience, and love they deserve.

- Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks or anxieties. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other people, pets, and unfamiliar situations, as well as any commands or training cues they already know. I have lifelong experience caring for animals with special needs, so I’m happy to accommodate medical, mobility, or behavioral requirements with patience and attention to detail. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can provide personalized care and give you complete peace of mind.
