Pet care experience

I will love your pet as my own.

I love all breeds, shapes, and sizes of dogs, cats, and small animals. I will make sure your friend gets the care and exercise they need while you are busy or away. I have a large fenced yard that is great for any dog. I also live near Bear Creek park and can take them there for play and socialization if requested. I am a very calm and patient person who is in good physical condition. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once. I understand the extra needs of small dogs. I will be happy to learn about your critter's specific needs and will baby them as you do. For care in my home I can take care of dogs up to 40 pounds. Dogs that come to my home must be cat friendly and willing to ignore a cat that isn't interested in playing. I am also available to take your dog or cat to routine vet or groomer visits or provide pick up and drop off services.

Shannon was very patient and accommodating while we tried to figure out if we would need her or not. And I'm confident our little Lily was in good hands with her. Had a very positive, easy experience...highly recommend Shannon!

Schedule

I pet sit full time. I'm available most days unless I'm out of town. I can make most times of day work though I prefer not to leave my house before 7am unless it is absolutely necessary. While I try to respond to all messages promptly, I am often driving or occasionally watching a movie. Patience and understanding is appreciated. Requests and messages received after 11pm will be responded to the following morning.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. I have a sphynx cat who loves dogs and one who prefers to observe dogs at a distance until she can trust them.

Pets

A typical day

I have a big back yard with plenty of room to run around. My kitty Xena enjoys playing with some dog friends once she's gotten to know them. Sugar is less interested.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Shannon can host up to 2 pets per night
I'd love to hear about any quirks or special preferences your pet friend has. I'll do my best to maintain their routine and make them feel safe and loved.
