Vet Tech to care for your pets
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Shannon took amazing care of my pup Dee Dee!!! She gave frequent updates and made sure she felt right at home. Dee dee was in such amazing spirits when we picked her up she cant wait to go back and play with Apollo and Pepper! Her yard is beautifully maintained and the perfect place for your dog to explore and run. I will absolutely use her services again.
Shannon was great with my bunnies and even kept my fish and jungle's worth of plants taken care of! Trust me no small feat. 10/10 recommend for your houseplants, fishies, and furry loved one ❤️
Shannon was wonderful! She provided frequent updates and sent pictures/videos of our dogs. The care was fantastic. She treated our Goldens as though they were her own fur babies. :)

Skills
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.

Information Shannon S. would like to know about your pet
In order to give your pet the best care possible, it's important for me to know a little more about your pet. Does your pet have any medical or behavioral conditions? Is your pet on any medications? Is there anything that would cause a change in demeanor, distress or aggression (ex: other dogs, wildlife, vacuums etc)? What is your pet's favorite treat? What is your pet's favorite activity?
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.
