Home Town Dog Whisperer
Pet care experience
Nicknamed as my home towns dog whisperer for dogs with special needs including anxiety and aggression! I have been working with animals for the past 16 going on 17 years. I have been providing individual care, grooming, training, and vacation babysitting for the past 11 years. I have dogs of my own, one special needs, and have experience with small and x-large dogs; including a 210lb mastiff to a 2lb yorkie. I have experience with dogs as young as 6 weeks to as old as 18 years. I have experience with administering medications including but not limited to insulin shots. I would love to discuss your needs further with you! I’m very individual towards each dog and take the time to learn each dog. Each dog is treated as my own and that’s a promise. No matter the breed or size! I know what it’s like to worry while you’re away... I have been fortunate to have a dog sitter who can treat my dogs amazingly, so we sit to “pay it forward” giving your dog (and you) the same comfort. *Fenced in yard and the doggie pool comes out on hot days!** Thank you for reading!
Reviews
My experience and Toby's experience with Shannon were excellent. I am so grateful for the love and car she provided Toby while in her care. Thank you again.
Shannon was a great pet sitter with our dog Molly. We will not hesitate to use Shannon again. Highly recommended. Thank you Shannon for taking such a good care of Molly.
Shannon cared for my 5yo lab/pointer mix along with several dogs already there that day. Despite some initial excitement (unrelated to my dog), Shannon provided calm and professional care. My dog came home happy and we enjoyed the photos Shannon sent while we attended a family party.
Shannon was wonderful with Piper! Will absolutely use her again in the future!
About Shannon R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Backyard is completely fenced in. Dogs are fed separately and kept separately behind baby gates to avoid any possible issues while eating. I have the ability to separate dogs if a break is needed based on their behaviors, as well as separate safely and securely when running out if needed. Needs and safety of each dog is individually based on each dogs behaviors.
