It’s not just “a dog”
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Shannon and I’ve never met a furry friend I didn’t like. I know how stressful it can be having to find a new sitter you trust. That’s why I’m here to help. I currently live in East Nashville and grew up with animals my entire life. I now have a rescue dog of my own from Wyoming. To me, dogs make the world go round. I’m a firm believer in patience and positive reinforcement with all animals. Studying their habits and behaviors is a near and dear passion of mine. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and being their companion throughout your busy days or much needed vacations. Please feel free to shoot me a message or get to know me before I can be of assistance. Please provide the following so I can know your pets a little before we meet and greet: Pets name Type of pet/breed Favorite activity of pet Fun fact about your pet Any special accommodations

If someone was made to be a dog walker, it is this girl right here. Shannon exudes passion, care and love for dogs. Some might say she was a dog in her other life. D.O.G my beautiful golden retriever cries every time he gets separated from her. She usually walks him 3 times a week and the happiness in D.O.G’s eyes makes my heart melt. The relationship they’ve built together has come so far I couldn’t be happier. I would 100% recommend her as your dog walker. Nothing will beat the love and care Shannon will have for your pet.
Shannon was truly phenomenal in taking immaculate care of my pet kangaroo, Jacky Fourtoes, when I utilized her services last week. She diligently breast fed him his breakfast, took him to the park and let him attack the local schoolchildren, as is his favorite activity, and even picked up his turds so that I could individually dissect them in my basement as per my instructions. She is a one-of-a-kind walker and gracefully took Jacky’s punches, an unfortunate evolutionary defense mechanism to strangers, and resulting dual shiners with a smile and warm attitude. I’d recommend Shannon to everyone!
I sould never let anyone else watch my fur babies except for Shannon. She has always had animals around her her whole life that she loves and adores. She treats my fur babies and any fur baby she sees (yes even on the street) like it’s her own child. Whenever my parents or boyfriend ever asks her to watch their dogs they can go on vacation or work knowing Shannon would do just as good of a job as them if not better! Highly highly recommend her!
When I was out of the country doing a soul seearching journey through the storms and bitter cold of Mt. Everest, I asked my dear friend Shannon to watch my Bernese mountain dog, Lord Eddard Stark (Ned). Ned has been my best friend for the past 7 years and I’ve never gone more than 1 week away from him. I was pretty nervous. Shannon came over with toys, treats, and love... and watched my baby Ned my whole trek. I swear sometimes he tries to bark “Shannon!” I recommend Shannon Staton for all pet sitting, dog walking duties! She is no King Joffrey, she is only the Jon Snow of dog sitters!
