responsible & loving dog sitter!
Pet care experience
I have 10+ years of experience caring for other dogs, mainly large breeds (labs, malamutes). I have a 6 year old mix named Obi-wan (cattle dog, border collie, hound, & more). He gets along well with all other dogs and is an old soul. I would be happy to do a meet and greet before your dog spends time with him. My first dog was a siberian husky, Gus, that my family bred and I trained and raised since he was a puppy. I am very experienced with all stages of doghood and can offer patience, confident guidance, and a fun and relaxed environment for your dog to feel comfortable in. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast but also just as happy enjoying the comforts of home - so whatever your dogs needs are, from low to high energy we will enjoy ourselves! I look forward to meeting and spending time with your pup! Thank you!
Reviews
Shannon is perfect for the job. I chose her and have no regrets. She had my 3 month old puppy over nights during the weekend and everything worked out great. Her dog Gus was a gentle giant with my puppy. Shannon is caring, laid back, patient and responsible. She replies to your messages quickly and is polite. I will definitely use her again.
Shannon is the person you always hope is available to watch your dog! Not only will she take great care of your pup, and provide structure and love, but she always seems to be heading out on a fun outdoor adventure with her amazing husky, Gus! I would highly recommend Shannon to guarantee a fun and fulfilling stay for your dog.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and am used to having other dogs join me and Obi for any amount of time. I am home often and when I’m not home, I would leave Obi for maximum 4-5 hours. I don’t crate him but would be happy to do so if yours needed.
Home
Information Shannon S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs. For example: how they do around feeding with other dogs, if they are reactive on leash or if I can walk them off leash in wooded areas.
A typical day
Where-ever your dogs heart desires! we love rivers, dog parks, the bike path, hikes, or walks on the town. I have a meadow path down to a brook in my backyard we visit daily. Or if your dog wants to nap we can accommodate!
