Information Shannon R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how they are around other dogs, children, and cats. I would also like to know if they are allergic to anything and their vet information. It’s also helpful to share your normal dogs routine.

A typical day

I usually have other dogs here so there is always a friend to play with. I have lots of toys and also enjoy taking them on walks.

Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since a child. I have always had multiple cats and dogs that I consider family. Currently, I have one cat, Isabella Miso, that has been around dogs with no issues. If your dog has an issue with cats, I am able to separate them . I live in a row home with a fenced in yard. I love to walk and live near many parks where I could take your pet. In addition, my step children live here half of the time and they love animals too. I have much experience with senior cats and dogs and pets with diseases. I can administer pills and needles. I'm also a stay at home mom so I can give extra care and attention. As far as boarding goes, I try to be as flexible as I can with drop off and pickup. However I do have to set certain times because it is too disruptive to my family and other dogs I'm boarding. Dropoffs have to be after 7 am and Pickups have to be before 9 pm. Thanks for understanding.

Shannon not just took good care of our little old man-dog, but seemed to really enjoy him, too! And she took the best photos we have of him. A delight to communicate with, and what a relief to find someone we trust to look after our dog!

Shannon cares for the pups like they're her own and is warm and flexible. Grateful we were connected with Shannon!

Absolute best sitter we have ever had. Felt so great knowing our pup— who was recovering from an injury — was in good hands while we traveled.
