Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Tech to care for your pets
I am a former veterinary technician, pet sitter and have been caring for pets personally or professionally for over 25 years. I am a true animal lover and I have experience caring for amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates, small animals, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, horses, goats, other livestock and fish. I am pretty comfortable with any animal and can provide excellent loving care. I can administer medications, injections and other therapies and have lots of experience with geriatric care of elderly pets. I also have experience with teaching basic obedience, and leash walking skills and offer training services. I love teaching a pet a new behavior or command - especially puppies! I am also a horticulturist and can provide care for your houseplants!
Cat care experience
Shannon also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Schedule
I am self-employed full time and work at home, so I can provide your pet with frequent attention, and lots of outside breaks and playtime. I am currently booking full time, daily and weekends. I have availability for drop offs (dogs) or small animals in their own enclosures, home visits or walks, boarding short or long term. I am flexible with drop off times as long as they are discussed in advance. I am also offering transport services to vet or grooming appointments. IF YOU NEED ANY OF THE ABOVE SERVICES FOR A SPECIES NOT LISTED ON ROVER, OR HAVE A MIX OF SPECIES PLEASE MESSAGE ME TO DISCUSS RATES. I offer a FREE 30min. MEET & GREET at a coordinated location with you and your pet to make sure I am a good fit. For boarders and daily drop offs, the meet & greet will take place at my home (outside due to Covid), to make sure your pet will get along with mine. For dog walks and drop ins, MEET & GREETS will be at your location. I offer a 10% discount for military, first responders, and teachers. Please let me know if any apply to you.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a fun, caring environment that meets your pets needs. Safety and is my number one priority as your pet sitter. For drop off care or boarding in my home, I have a fun, safe, large fenced back yard, perfect for running around and exploring. For home visits I always refer to my clients for best practices regarding safety with their pets. Every pet is different so I use a flexible approach based on my clients and their pets needs. FOR BOARDERS AND DAILY DROP OFF CLIENTS * Your pet MUST be friendly with CHILDREN and DOGS as both live on the premises. * All pets must be up to date on their RABIES if applicable for your pets species. * To prevent parasites from being introduced into my environment, all pets need to be currently on flea/tick medications. ** Grooming services are offered exclusively through Diamond Dogs grooming in Hamilton. If you'd like to add this service message me for a quote on grooming services.
Pets
A typical day
I provide many different types of toys, treats, and a doggy pool during the summer. One of my favorite activities to do with the dog friends I am taking care of is going on a walk through my neighborhood or hiking at one my favorite dog friendly trails. It's also fun playing training games in my big, fenced backyard or throwing a ball with my ball launcher.
