Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals
I moved to Portland in 2004. My only requirement was that we live next to a dog park so that I could have a dog. My first dog a was a great Dane pitbull mix named Virgil. We got him out of shelter in Tacoma Washington. Then came Lucy, she was a Rottweiler that got dumped on the streets of Portland. At the time we still had two cats, Jack and Ernie. Then my father-in-law came to live with us with his yellow lab named Sabrina. Boy was it a houseful! We all learned together how to coexist. I was so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful pets. It was trying for sure, but we managed. As the years went by eventually we lost all of them. In 2014 I adopted Thelma a boxer mix who became my everything. I lost Thelma in November and I cannot bring myself to adopt again for a while, yet there is something missing. I need to be around animals. My partner and I have taken care of every type of dogs from the easy to the most difficult. We have taken care of puppies and seniors. Dogs that were needy and the highly independent ones.

Violet had a great time staying with Shannon and Matthew! She was so happy to hang out in their home and came home full of joy and ready to nap!
Very responsive and easy to work with, and took great care of my boy! I can tell he was loved like a member of the family while he was there 🩵
Ellie was well taken care of by Shannon! Great communication and flexible with scheduling. I will definitely rebook in the future!
Shannon and Mathew were wonderful!
Shannon & Matthew are amazing. My dog loved them. Will definitely choose them again. Stellar experience.
Shannon and Matthew are so kind and caring. My dog seemed very comfortable in their home and yard. They provided updates and photos and she was very happy when I picked her up. They even gave her a walk so she would be relaxed for our somewhat long drive home. :) I know Cosi will be happy to go back again next time we have a need. ❤️
