Safety, trust & environment
Caring for pets in client’s homes or entering a client’s home to retrieve their pet is something I am very cognizant of — paying careful attention to follow all instructions and leave as though I was never there. When entering a client’s home, especially for the first time, I take caution to ensure comfort and safety among the pet and avoid any sudden surprises or disruption. Prior to leaving, I return items such as leashes, harnesses, toys, etc. to their respective places and ensure the pet is comfortable with refreshed water and/or food as needed. I am always sure to lock up behind me and will notify you once my care is complete.
Information Shannon M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any unique qualities that I should be aware of — this helps me prepare for and know what to expect so that I can provide the best care! Examples include: Do they get along with other pets? Are there any types of animals they do not care for? Do loud noises startle them? Are they hesitant to warm up to strangers? Are there certain spots they don’t like touched? Have they ever bitten anyone? Is there anything that may trigger barking? Do they like or dislike children? Do they have any health implications? Additionally, please let me know if your dog is not fully leash trained.
A typical day
I love going for long walks around the neighborhood, through the park, or by the lake — sometimes stopping for a sweet treat & grabbing a pup cup!

Experienced Animal Care Provider
Pet care experience
I have been surrounded by animals ever since I can remember — from growing up with family pets and teaching my dogs tricks like “paw” and “high-five” to riding horses and caring for barn cats, I’ve always had a love for animals! I’ve been dog sitting for my family, friends, and neighbors for 10+ years now, and have recently begun volunteering at Paws Chicago and a local dog shelter back home. My family has rescued 3 dogs from St. John USVI and we love each one of them and their own unique personalities. I accept dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — providing a safe and nurturing space for your pet and service you can trust!

Reviews
Shannon was a great dog-sitter. She was quick to respond to my messages, and filled me in with nice updates. Would recommend
Shannon did a great job caring for Benji.
Shannon was great with my 2 year old Lambeau (who can definitely be a handful).
Shannon watched our pup while went away on a short vacation. Typically a skeptical little guy, he warmed up instantly to Shannon’s sweet nature! Thank you for taking such good care of our guy and sending us updates while we were away! He misses you already!!
