Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Shannon. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 4 years. The job taught me so much about dog behavior and how to properly care for them. I am also comfortable around big dogs and I feel extremely confident in my ability to care for dogs of larger size. Along I started dog sitting a couple years ago when a close family friend desperately needed someone to watch their dog. Since then, I've started regularly dog sitting for about six families. The families have learned they can trust me with their fur babies. I make the dogs my number one priority during the time that I'm watching them. I am completely okay with sending lots of pictures and updates if that is what you are looking for. I have a dog too, so I get the stress of leaving them with other people. I will be willing to work around your and your dog's needs. I understand that some dogs have different needs that need to be accounted for, and I can assure you that they will be in good hands with me. I also have two cats and have experience with cats, so I can also provide assistance in that area too. I do have some limitations, but just ask and I can let you know if I will be the right fit for you :)
Reviews
Thanks so much Sorry it’s so hot
Thanks for taking care of our fur baby. Shannon was prompt and sweet to our dog. It helps that she lives close by too We will call her again soon
When it comes to finding a dog sitter I never call anyone else except Shannon. For the past three years she has been the only one to watch my dogs when I am out of town and she never lets me down. She always makes sure to message me lots of pictures of my pups while I am gone so I can know they are safe and that I don't miss them too much while I am gone. And honestly, I swear my dogs look happier in those pictures then when they are with me.

I would love to go above and beyond for your pet. Before leaving any home after a walk, and only if the client is comfortable with me doing it, I’ll be sure the water is nice and fresh and cold for your pup to rehydrate. I bring water and a travel bowl for walks along the way, and if the owner provides treats or is okay with me bringing my own, I can reinforce positive behavior on their walk. I will be sure to check your profile thoroughly for all the information your provide while booking and before coming to care your pet. This is to ensure I’m aware of any health issues, allergies, and requests from the client in my care. I am a photographer and I love taking pictures, so I am more than welcome to include a lot of pics of your pet’s and my time together
Information Shannon P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there is anything you want me to know about your dog! Food allergies are crucial to know. Along with that, if you are comfortable with me bringing my own treats or if there are treats you would like to provide me upon arrival if you want your pup to get. If there’s any health issues, big or small, I would still like to be aware so I can make sure your dog is in the safest care possible. If they have any behavior issues, please disclose that me to as well. It’s important to know if they have any sort of leash or dog aggression to be sure we can avoid any unsafe situations or interactions.
A typical day
When walking I will allow your pet plenty of time to sniff as they please. I want their walk to be relaxing, stimulating, and as fun as they want. If they’re slow and steady then I will go at their pace. If your puppy like to run, I can promise I will try my absolute best to give them the speed and excitement they want! If you would like me to focus more of good behavior on the walk, we can figure out the the best way to accomplish what you would like from me. I’m really flexible with what I can offer, and I am more than okay to customizing the care you need.
