Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible, Friendly, & Caring
I have about eight years of experience caring for friends' and clients' pets when they are moving or on vacation. I have a very open schedule and my lines for communication are very open. I live in a condo in Oak Lawn and own my own car meaning I have reliable transportation to any of the surrounding areas, if required for your needs. Pets seem to make themselves right at home even if they haven't been there before. I love long walks and don't mind laying around the house or jumping up and going out every hour depending on the pet's needs or desires. I am friendly and pets seem to warm up to me quickly. I have a knack for anticipating a pet's needs and go to whatever lengths I need to keep them safe and happy.

Ratings and reviews
Loved her! She is AMAZING! Would definitely use again. :-)

Shannon was great and accommodated some minor time changes for me. My pup also gets excited to see her so that shows me a lot. Will book again !

Shannon was great! She was quick to respond, frequently sent photos, let me feel great about our little ones stay with her! I could not recommend her more highly! Ginny clearly had a great visit!

Schedule
I'm lucky enough to be able to mold my schedule around your pet's schedule. So whatever walking and feeding routine you have them on I can easily adjust to fit their needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow every detail the pet parent leaves me to the letter. Even if your pet needs me to spin around 3 times and pretend to microwave his/her food or ACTUALLY has food that needs to be microwaved! I make sure to review instructions with the client the day of so we both feel comfortable that we are on the same page and their fur baby is getting the best care.
