Reliable and Caring Dog Caretaker
Hello! I am a lifelong learner making a career change. I find the process of learning to communicate and form a bond with an animal to be extremely rewarding. For me, training is largely about building a common language that allows me to connect with a different species. Dogs and horses use different body language and behaviors to communicate than humans do, but I can learn to recognize their signals and reflect them back to them, earning their trust in the process. I find this to be inspirational. I am currently working on certifications in equine and canine bodywork. I am an experienced pet owner with decades of experience handling animals. I have raised and trained Newfoundlands, adopted a variety of rescued dogs and cats, have studied wildlife management and have worked at a raptor rehabilitation center. Most recently I have completed an introductory scentwork class with my 102 pound dog Maddie. She rocked it! I would be honored to assist you with your pets.

Notes et avis
Shannon was truly so incredible with my nervous guy. Disco immediately loved her and her husband, which is rare for him. She was also understanding of his quirks. I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone in need of pet care.
Stayed in constant contact and send photos throughout our boys stays.
Shannon and her husband are wonderful, trusted dog sitters. Pepper can be anxious and simultaneously a Velcro dog, and they take her in stride without hesitation.
Shannon has been an animal lover for as long as I have known her (more than 20 years). She is gentle, calm, patient, and reliable. I would absolutely trust her with my pets.
Shannon isn’t just a dog walker, she’s part athlete, part dog whisperer and part scheduling wizard. My two large dogs know exactly what day it is when their walks with her roll around and they wait by the door. She’s thoughtful, reliable and genuinely tuned in to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s walking or sitting, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Dates de la garde
As mentioned in my profile, I am working on equine and canine bodywork certifications in addition to scheduling bodywork sessions with horses. I am in a position to be able to study and schedule appointments around various commitments that arise from week to week.

Caractéristiques du logement
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I have a large fenced in back yard. The fence is 5 feet tall. We also have a dedicated 'pet' room where we can set up crates as needed. We own one adult dog and three cats. Our dog is very friendly and she and the cats are great friends. We can keep our animals separated as needed. We keep our animals indoors unless we are at home to supervise them outdoors and we walk dogs that are in our home regularly.
Animaux
Une journée type
We like to go on a long (2.5 mile) in the mornings, sometimes we hand feed dogs in order to develop a relationship and make a game out feeding time. I like to spend 10-15 minutes on a short game or training activity in the middle of the day, then either walk or goof around in the back yard with dogs in the evening.
