Dedicated Dog Mom Here to Help You!

Pet care experience

While we always had animals growing up, there is nothing like the love of a dog! I got my first as a young adult and from 7 weeks to nearly 17 years, I was lucky to be the Dog Mom of a sweet black puggle with special needs. I think Thompkins had a long full life because we didn't slow down, even when he went blind! I will give your dogs long walks, plenty of stimulation, as well as belly rubs and cuddles. I know each dog has their own personality and I try to honor that, so you let me know what they need and I'll stay on top of it. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog in the hands of others but you will not find a more conscientious dog sitter. I take one reservation at a time, and I find that owners appreciate that my home is dog and child-free, so any little quirks are avoided, allowing them to truly relax. I'm experienced and patient with senior dogs and can administer eye drops, medication, and insulin shots.

Our dog loved staying with Shannon! She was great with our dog, walked him, played with him and gave him lots of love. She kept in touch with us throughout the time we were away with updates and pictures. She was so easy to work with, very professional and also very personable. We will definitely use Shannon again!

Shannon is quite simply an All Star. Communicated well, clean and inviting home, sent a few pix showing our dog having a great time. Good show!

Information Shannon M. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

We live on a big quiet circle that's perfect for walks, but a swim at the beach (during the off-season) can be arranged, or a car ride to the canal for a walk along the bike path is a favorite of mine if your dog is game.

*Please note, school vacaction weeks will be adjusted to my holiday rate of $85/nt for dog boarding, $65/day for day care. This will include Friday Feb 16th - Monday Feb 26th and Friday April 12th - Monday April 22nd.* I work from home and create my own schedule. So if my calendar is open, that means I'm ready and available to attend to your doggo. I love getting out and moving so walks or playing the yard will break up my work day - it's good for both of us! When we're not on the move, I'm happy to set up a dog bed in my office for critters that like to stay close :)
