Highlights
Pet care experience
Shelter Tested, Dog Approved!
This summer, I spent significant time volunteering at the Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter in Gray, Louisiana, logging over 50 hours to ease the load of staff while giving rescues the best possible quality of life. I gained hands-on experience handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From taking high-energy dogs long walks and runs to managing bath times and following strict sanitation protocols, I treated every pet with shelter-grade care. A highlight of my time there was leading “Doggy Day Outs,” taking adoptable dogs on community adventures. In these new environments, I paid close attention to their reactions to learn their unique likes, dislikes, and personality traits. Reading their canine body language allowed me to adapt to their needs on the fly, keeping them safe and comfortable wherever we went. Crucially, working with shelter dogs also gave me deep experience with high-energy breeds, reactive dogs, and abused or frightened rescues who require gentle handling and trust-building. Although relocation meant stepping away from shelter work, I bring those same high standards of safety, patience, and individual attention to every pet I visit.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In-home care is built on safety, consistency, and mutual trust. My top priorities are maintaining your pet’s familiar routine, securing the environment, and treating your home with total respect. I make sure pets are never left alone for long stretches, giving them the frequent companionship, potty breaks, and attention they need. Upon arrival, I secure all doors and gates, greet the pet calmly, and follow your explicit instructions for feeding, exercise, and meds. I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, offering patient interaction for shy animals and active engagement for high energy ones. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit.
Ratings and reviews
Shannon was the perfect fit for helping my two dogs settle into their new space. She took the extra step to meet my two large dogs a week early at the dog park and apartment so they'd be comfortable. She handled their evening walks, feeding, and spent quality time with them while I worked. I was especially impressed by how comfortable she was handling my vocal dog. I have a 6 year old Lab, Jax, and a 4 year old Malinois mix, Bennie. (Both over 100 pounds) Bennie can be a lot sometimes but Shannon handled him with ease and confidence. Shannon is punctual, communicative, and genuinely caring. She didn't just do the bare minimum, she gave them true companionship. Highly recommend! much much love and appreciation!!
