Information Shannon R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or accommodations, and what your pet’s favorite activities are- I want to make sure we can have the best time possible!
A typical day
I love going for walks and letting your pet take all the time they want/need to explore. If your pet needs extra stimulation or activity, I love to run, play games, and visit the dog park! If your pet is lower energy that’s great too- I am more than happy to mosey along at your pet’s pace.

Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Sionainn (pronounced “Shannon”), and I love dogs- a lot! I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and special needs. I love going for long walks and having involved playtime sessions, and will make sure your dog is having the time of their life! I cared for my dog, Lucy, from puppyhood through her senior years (1 to 16.5 years old). I also have experience with high-anxiety dogs, and I understand the patience and gentleness they require. In addition, I’ve provided regular care for a diabetic cat over several years, including insulin administration. No matter what special care your pet may need, I’m confident and comfortable providing it! Finally… you probably don’t have a goat—but if you did, I’ve got experience with those too!
Reviews
Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog Maeve! Maeve has some anxiety but Shannon was patient with her, sent lots of cute pictures, and was very communicative.
Shannon took excellent care of our home and animals while we were away. From our first contact, they responded quickly and communicated clearly, and asked great questions to get to know our animals and routines. When they came out to the house to get oriented, it was immediately clear how much Shannon loves animals. While we were gone, they sent us lots of photos and updates, and took everything about our quirky home and the wintry weather in stride. When we got back, our dogs and cats were relaxed and happy, our chickens were safe in the coop, and our house was tidy. We will absolutely book with Shannon again! Thank you!
Shannon is a great pet sitter! They are reliable, communicative, patient, and sensitive to how your pet is feeling. Most importantly, Shannon loves animals and will most definitely take wonderful care of yours!
Shannon has a gift with all creatures! They helped me so much with my anxious and traumatized family dog. He feared other dogs so much and Shannon always helped calm him.
