Experienced Veterinary Assistant!
Pet care experience
I recently graduated with an Animal Science degree from NC State, and I have been working as a veterinary assistant for four years. I love taking care of all kinds of animals, not just dogs, and can also do any tasks around your home necessary while you are away. I have hundreds of hours of experience working at a doggie daycare, so understanding animal behavior and a pack dynamic is really important to me. Reinforcing behavior and training requested by owners is also something that I am passionate about. As a veterinary assistant, I can do any kind of medication administration needed as well (injectable included). I can also bathe dogs, do nail trims, clean ears, and do anal gland expressions for an additional fee. I am really passionate about taking care of animals and I have ample experience hopefully to make you as an owner feel safe and comfortable with leaving your pets in my hands.
Reviews
Punctual, thorough... and obviously dedicated!
Shannon was phenomenal! She understands animal behavoir and is passionate about working with dogs. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous leaving our pup in someone else’s hand - he can be a handful and get anxious. Shannon eased any concerns I had at the meet and greet. She took time to understand our dog and hisroutine. She corrected his behaviors and commanded his attention. I would absolutely recommend Shannon! We look forward to working with her again!
Shannon is great! I have a senior dog with mobility issues, and Shannon has gone above and beyond to give her the special attention she needs. Would highly recommend.
Shannon was great with our high anxiety and needy pup, Joey. In particular, Shannon seamlessly handled some last minute snafus related to a dog leash and forgetfulness on behalf of Joey's owners and made Joey's experience a great one. We highly recommend Shannon and will plan to seek her out for future dog walks for our pup!

Information Shannon R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about a dog's history of behavior around strangers and strange dogs. I love all breeds!
A typical day
I really like walking near water, so I really enjoy walking around Lake Johnson and when I am able. Otherwise, I like going to parks in the area, and dog parks if allowed. We can play with frisbees and tennis balls, as well as do trick training for additional mental stimulation.
