Pet care experience

Your pets favorite sitter

I’m a lifelong lover of animals. I love them so much, at 13 I decided I can’t eat them. 😋 #vegetarian I have had cats most of my life and appreciate their independence, and different personalities. Of course my goal is to make them love me, but it really has to be at their pace. Any cat owner knows you can’t make cats do anything they don’t want to. 😄 I have had my own dog/s for over 20 years. I have tons of experience with small-medium dogs, and have taken care of many large dogs over the years. Years ago I did dog fostering for hoarding situations. It was so rewarding to see the change in behavior once they were cleaned, groomed, and given a loving home. 😍🥰 I currently have my dog (2Y,F) Zhuri, who is a 11lb, Chihuahua/Terrier mix. She is extremely loving, playful, and submissive. I also have a 10 year old, long haired princess (cat) named Phoebe, after Phoebe from Friends. I have experience with cockatiels, conures, parakeets, Senegals, and finches. Turtles, gerbils, Guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, jumping spiders (yes I have had many as pets). Did you know you can catch them, make a cool terrarium for them and buy worms or fruit flies and keep them as pets?!?! They are very entertaining and so friendly. This is how I beat my arachnophobia.

Safety, trust & environment

A safe environment is #1. I have a fully fenced yard allowing safe exercise but also am strict about dogs being on a leash at all times, when on a walk. Communication is so important and I pride myself in being an excellent communicator. I want to respect each pets likes/dislikes, comfort level with new people and environment. I follow their lead. I am a very much “follow the rules”, put your shopping cart back, pick up the poop, do the right thing, kind of person. 😇

Such a relief to know our kitties are in caring hands when we are away. Shannon is prompt, attentive, trustworthy and made the whole process really easy.

Shannon is amazing. My pup loves Shannon and her family. I always feel good leaving my pup with her. I know she will be well cared for and have a good time which gives me peace of mind. 🫶
