Pet care experience

clean, communicative, caring sitter

I grew up with all sorts of pets - hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and my childhood English lab, Sprocket. As a kid I watched my neighbors' cats and walked their dogs, I also cat sat while I lived abroad in Korea before my husband and I finally adopted our own rescue dog, Charlie! I'm self-employed and have a flexible schedule. Since I have Charlie at home I can't offer boarding, but I'd love to care for your pet in the comfort of your home! I'm extremely active, so your dog will not be going without walks! I have dog sat off the Rover platform and am happy to share that reference. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and exercise needs. I'm able to administer medication and have experience with anxious dogs (thanks, Charlie!) Would love to set up a meet and greet to get to know each other and your pet's needs!

Safety, trust & environment

Whatever instructions you give me, I'll follow! Let's talk ahead of time about your pets quirks and needs - as a dog owner myself I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in someone else's care, especially since my dog has her own set of special needs! My goal is to replicate how you care for your own pet as closely as possible. I'm extremely detail-oriented and will keep your home as clean as you left it. I would love to be that trusted person you come back to any time you need a petsitter!

Shannon was absolutely wonderful with Phyllis! From the start, communication was excellent, which made me feel at ease as an anxious dog parent. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Phyllis came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The search is over and I will be booking with Shannon from now on. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Shannon is incredibly attentive and detail oriented. She always makes sure my dog has everything she needs, and I feel completely comfortable leaving her in Shannon’s care. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her!

I have known Shannon for a long time and her passion for animals was apparent at a very young age. She found and saved a litter of kittens when she was in high school and expended much effort in providing the care needed to bring them back to health. Along with caring for several dogs and cats of her own over the years, Shannon took great care of our English lab when my wife and I traveled on multiple occasions and we couldn't have been more pleased. She has vast experience with dogs and cats and I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry family member.

Shannon Stag is very comfortable around pets and makes them feel comfortable, with her gentleness. She adheres to the schedule and expresses a personal interest, loving approach, as a pet caregiver. In return, pets respond positively to Shannon. Shannon is very capable of providing a safe and creative area for your pet. Shannon is trustworthy and dependable. I would totally recommend Shannon to any pet owner. Once you meet Shannon, you will feel comfortable.

Schedule

I'm a realtor so my schedule looks different every day, but when I'm not hopping around the city I'm working from home. I am able to commit to stays up to one week long max for now. If you're a new client, it'd be great to get to know each other with a shorter stay first, or at least a meet and greet at your home! I want to make sure your pet is as familiar and comfortable with me as possible before your trip, so you can fully relax.
