Ratings and reviews
Been fantastic went above and beyond will definitely use Shannon again thank you
We felt so assured and comfortable leaving our 12 week old puppy with Shannon for 2 days, they took care in knowing his routine and clearly love and know a lot about dogs (and puppies!) We'd highly recommend Shannon and I know Bertie our puppy would love to see them again!
It was amazing to go on holiday and know we were leaving our reactive dog in safe hands at home in the place she feels most comfortable. Shannon gave brilliant and reassuring daily updates, and looked after Poppy so well. Highly recommend!
Great service as always
Great communication as always. Poppy is becoming use to Shannon's visits and it enables us to be out for longer.
Really great to have someone like Shannon who can also walk out reactive dog. Great communication and I love the Rover card
