Pet care experience

Lifelong animal lover and caregiver

I’m a responsible stay-at-home mom with older children and decades of experience caring for pets, as part of our family as well as those of friends, family and neighbors. I've volunteered by walking pups in animal shelters and provided pet therapy with my fur babies at a residential psychiatric facility. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, hamsters and hermit crabs. I provide reliable drop-ins and dog walks focused on safety, consistency, and your pet’s specific needs - whether that is exercise or snuggles (or both). I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and committed to clear communication. Your pet will receive attentive care and you’ll receive timely updates after every visit.

Shannon was great!! Took good care of my cats, plants, and fish. Cats seemed to really like her, and one of the plants I thought was hopeless had even started to sprout when I got home so she must have a green thumb too! Loved the pictures she’d send at every visit. Definitely keeping her in my back pocket for next time I’m out of town :)

If you’re looking for someone who will connect with your pet in the most gentle, conscious, conscientious, loving way, then Shannon is the pet-whisperer you’re looking for! My pup is a rescue & brand new to our household. Shannon stopped in for a brief visit, and a brief visit became a very long, involved visit. Shannon was patient, kind, loving, and understanding. She gave my dog all the attention and support she needed in the moment. It was an incredible experience for me to leave my dog in the care of someone who truly cares about animals, understands them, respects them, and provides far more than basic supervision. Shannon does not disappoint! She is a loving, bright, truly engaging professional who knows what she’s doing and gives it with heart. She not only provides exceptional care, she communicates clearly to meet your pet’s specific needs in the best way possible. Do not hesitate to contact Shannon… your pet will be loved and cared for down to the finest detail. She gives her all with great compassion and presence. I’m so glad I found Shannon!

Shannon was absolutely wonderful! We booked a few drop in visits and she was so thoughtful about the timing and the questions she asked to make sure she knew what our pups would need😊 super communicative, sent great updates, and our boys loved her! We will definitely be booking with Shannon again.

Shannon was amazing! She took great care of both of my cats twice a day as well as taking out the cans of cat food and litter to my outside garbage every day AND she watered my entire veggie garden and flower garden! I would highly recommend her!

Shannon helped us with our senior kitty last minute when our usual sitter was out of town. She was punctual, thorough and communicative and handled complicated medication instructions like a pro. We really enjoyed working with her and will definitely be booking her again!
