Hi there! My husband and I work as a team to provide the best possible care for any of your furry friends. Shannon is a dog and cat adoring former veterinary technician with a background in medication administration and behavioral biology. Curtis is a long time per owner with a background in conservation ecology and a deep love for all living things. We both work from home with flexible schedules and we work together to service your needs from dog walking to house sitting. As for day to day life, we are early risers who can easily provide morning, afternoon, and evening care. Moreover, we are both very active individuals who enjoys running, hiking, and just about anything outdoors. We'd be more than happy to take your pup with us on these adventures. If your dog isn't the active type, that is okay too. We enjoy less-energetic activities where we can spend some quality time with the animals. Not only do we each have an immense love for all animals, canine friends especially, we also have lifelong collective experience caring for pets. Shannon formerly working in veterinary medicine and animal care. Since Shannon was young, she has worked caring for animals on farms, in grooming shops, and in a variety of veterinary medicine settings. Curtis grew up in Australia with multiple cherished pets including his dogs Jess and Kya and their beloved chickens. Don't sweat if your pup has some special needs, we are well adept at providing the highest quality veterinary care. Our skills include (but are not limited to) oral, aural (ear), optic, topical, and subcutaneous inject-able medication administration, first aid on superficial wounds and minor injuries, ear-cleaning, nail-trimming, oral-care, canine CPR, and proper bathing techniques. We am familiar with common canine poisons such as grapes, onions, chocolates, and ibuprofen and the signs that accompany poisoning scenarios, as well as the best course of action to treat these emergency situations. We have worked with dogs of all energy levels and are comfortable handling nervous, shy, and potentially fractious animals. You can rest knowing that our team is knowledgeable and familiar with all breeds, temperments, and ages of dogs is willing and excited to care for yours as we would our own.
