Pet care experience

Let me love your pets!

I've raised dogs from the day they were born, and rescued them too. I've trained them - obedience and conformation - and worked with a variety of breeds. I've taken care of old dogs too, and understand the different needs between puppies and seniors.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pets comfortable and loved. If I'm house sitting, I would like to keep them to their normal schedule so they are the least disrupted by your absence. If I'm dropping in or walking them, then the goal is for them to be loved and cuddled and/or enjoy their exercise too. The goal is always happy, healthy, relaxed pets with a minimum of disruptions if their people can't be home.

Shannon took great care of our animals, allowing me to enjoy a vacation worry-free. She sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt confident that they were well cared for. Highly recommend!

She is amazing! My 3-year-old dachshund doesn't take to strangers. Shannon got passed his barking issues without any hesitation whatsoever! We sit up a few drop ins before our time away so our Beau and Lacey (17) could get to know Shannon. These times were priceless and really paid off when the time came for Shannon to stay while we were away. I can't begin to tell you how great it felt knowing that our home and our babies were in good hands. Shannon's communication with us was so helpful in letting us know how things were going. Daily reports and pictures! We came home to happy, healthy and calm fur babies! Thank you so much Shannon for everything!!

Shannon is super good at handling my, at times, chaotic little boy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but has come around to Shannon easily.

Shannon took wonderful care of our 18 year old cat over Christmas, including her twice-daily insulin injections and feeding (no small task). She was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable handling medical care. She stayed in communication with us and sent us regular photos of how our cat was doing. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. We would absolutely recommend Shannon and would happily book her again.

Schedule

This is what I'm choosing to do for a living. My pets are part of my family, and I hope to treat yours with the same amount of care too. Whether it's a drop-in or a walk while you're at work, or watching them at your home while you're away, I look forward to giving your furry family members the care you want for them.

I'd love to know their regular schedule, their likes and dislikes. If you have rescues, any particular issues/fears they have, or behaviors that need to be avoided so they're okay. If they have any special needs I'd like to know that too. Ideally at a Meet and Greet, we'd talk about your normal procedures for what I'm filling in for, so they have as little disruption as possible. I can't be YOU, but I can try to keep their schedule regular and give them enough love to be the next best thing!
