Pet care experience

Experienced animal lover :)

I have been dog-sitting/walking since I was ten (that was over 20 years ago!). I started out in my neighborhood and by word-of-mouth became known as someone who will lovingly care for your pets! I understand that a pet's physical needs are important, but I also know that pet's emotional needs are important. When taking care of your fur-baby, I try to love him/her as much as you do! I never had a dog or cat of my own growing up, which just makes it even more special for me to be able to care for yours as though it is my own. I have been house sitting on and off since college, and am very experienced with keeping other peoples' homes/havens clean and well-kept. I enjoy walking, snuggling, and playing with your dogs, and petting, snuggling (if they allow it ;)), and playing with your cats! I have pets of my own and know just how much love and care they deserve.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 09, 2025

Shannon was so kind to take my CoCo for the day at the very last minute. We agreed on a Meet and Greet and she was very thorough with her care routine. Her young boys played with her and she got lots of exercise in her spacious yard. I definitely recommend her and she sent pictures and updates throughout the day and very communicative. Thank you Shannon and family.

Shannon is the very best out there. She has stayed with our two labs many times and genuinely cares for them, and understands their quirks! When we lost our Bodhi recently, she was very compassionate and went above and beyond to comfort his sister. I would never hesitate to ask Shannon to care for them. She is kind, considerate, and always somehow makes our home look better than we left it ☺️ absolutely THE BEST!

Shannon is genuinely so sweet and loves dogs. And judging from our first meetup and the adorable videos and pics she posted, my dogs love her too! She is reliable, professional and super considerate. Highly recommend!

Drop-In Visits • Oct 20, 2018

Very pleased! I got pictures and updates while on vacation. My cats, who don't usually take to strangers very well, came up for pets and snuggles.

House Sitting • Aug 20, 2018

I booked Shannon for a week+ stay to care for our dog Kramer, our cats and our home. At our meet & greet, she was excellent at taking notes & asking questions about things I had not thought about. She even came by for a second time to be sure we had all the details covered! Shannon also did a fabulous job of keeping me up to date with photos and messages and even managed to deal with a power outage due to storms that happened while we were away. I felt comfortable & confident in her ability to care for our pets & home. Thank you, thank you!!!!

When I watch your pets I LOVE to snuggle with them! I love to read, and will happily curl up and let your pet cuddle with me. I also enjoy going on walks and getting exercise, so playing with your pet and making sure they get exercise too will be a priority! We also have a fenced-in backyard, and they will be played with a lot with my kiddos.
