Dog Care For Any Need

Pet care experience

I can care for any dog breed of any age. Special needs dogs are always welcome! I will make sure your pet is happy, safe and well taken care of while you’re away. I have been a Rover sitter for over four years and have worked with a variety of dog parents to accommodate their specific needs. Shih Tzu’s to Mastiffs, one eye, three legs, deaf, cancer survivors, seniors... I love them all! Check out my photo gallery to see pictures of some of my clients. Contact me if you would like additional information or to schedule a service. New to Rover? Use Promo Code SHANNS02643 for Rover $20 off your first booking. https://www.rover.com/sit/shanns02643

Shannon was great. She took care of our cat, Jasper, and our chickens. She won over Jasper’s heart after he, at first, ran away the first day she came. We will be contacting Shannon again for our next trip.

Shannon was fantastic with my senior fur friend. I also really appreciate how flexible she was when my plans changed! Definitely recommend her and will book again!

Shannon took care of our senior dogs and our puppy overnight. She is great with dogs of all breeds and ages. We definitely had peace of mind after a really awful experience with Rover in the past, we haven’t used them since. We definitely recommend Shannon to care for your animals!!

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide care for dogs with medical or behavioral needs but I do prefer to meet with these pets before scheduling a booking. Meet & Greet: I prefer to meet dogs and their owners prior to the date you request a service. If I will be going to your home to take care of your dog I prefer to meet there. One meet and greet is complimentary prior to confirming a booking. If you schedule the same day as the service start date this may not be possible. During the meet and greet we will go over: -how I will get access into your home (key, lock box, garage code etc.) -location of dog (if in a room or crate) -location of leash, disposal for poop, and food (if needed to be fed during service) -meet your pet! Grooming I can provide baths during the visit in your home for an additional fee. Please contact me ahead of time so we can discuss behavior and supplies.
