Pet care experience

Your fur kids home away from home

I have been caring for pets for 30 years. Not only my own pets, but our friends and families pets. I have rescued many dogs and cats over the years and even a bird or two. The pets have been puppies to seniors. I have trained many to use a bell at the door to go outside and go potty. I can do some basic training.. I have kept up with their training, started training for puppies being held for Christmas gifts, etc.I promise to love, care and cuddle your pets as l do mine.

My dog was with Shannon and her family for two weeks and she took great care of my senior dog. She gave us daily updates with pictures and videos. I highly recommend her!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 02, 2026

We have used Shannon a few times to watch our pup, Bruiser, and I cannot recommend her enough! Bruiser absolutely LOVES going to her house. He gets so excited the second we pull into her driveway, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he feels comfortable, safe, and happy there. Shannon is dependable, caring, and treats him like one of her own. She is also very responsive and even sends pics of my baby while I’m away! I know he is in good hands when he is with her. Will be using her as much as we can!

Shannon was great with our pet Zeke in booking a last minute reservation. She was great with communication and photos while we were away which helped with ease of mind. She seemed experienced in pet care and that was also a plus. We would definitely bring Zeke back for a future visit.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I will separate my pets as people bring in theirs. When the owners leave, I will introduce them one at a time. I can administer their medicine, do some light grooming, take on walks, and my schnauzer says he will let them play with his ball thrower. Oh, and pets will never be fed together.

Pets

A typical day

Murphy the schnauzer has a ton of toys that they will be playing with a lot, Murphy also has a ball thrower that we use inside also, and I will take pets on walks if it’s cool outside. Oh and I have. HUGE fenced in backyard for them to run around and play in, a screened in back porch with sands going and an automatic waterer for when we are outside playing!
