Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Other Bestie
In a neighborhood as vibrant and dog-loving as Kitsilano, I go beyond basic dog sitting—I offer a personalized, enriching experience tailored to your pup’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s beachside strolls, forested trail adventures, or cozy cuddle sessions, I treat every dog like family. With a deep understanding of canine behavior, a commitment to safety, and a genuine love for animals, I create a calm, joyful environment that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your dog’s trusted companion and your go-to for reliable, heart-centered care.

Safety, trust & environment
Inviting someone into your home and entrusting them with your pet is a big decision—and I don’t take that lightly. I’m known for being respectful, reliable, and discreet, treating every home with care and every animal with genuine affection. Whether I’m feeding your cat, walking your dog, or simply keeping your space secure while you're away, I bring professionalism and heart to every visit. My clients trust me not just because I’m experienced, but because I care deeply about their pets and their peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
I had a wonderful experience with Shannon, who house-sat and cared for my 16-year-old toy poodle for five nights. She was very responsive, kept me updated every day with thoughtful messages and photos, and was happy to follow my dog’s fairly regimented routine of two meals and snacks. She was punctual, pleasant, and clearly took great care of both my dog and my home. She even left the house spotless and changed the sheets before she left, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I would happily have her care for my dog again and highly recommend her!
Shannon was amazing. Clear communication. Prompt and reliable. Shared pictures. Dogs were almost instantly comfortable with her. Highly recommend!
Shannon is an incredible and reliable dog walker. She’s been so amazing with our BIG puppy Bear. At 70 pounds he’s strong and stubborn and she’s handled him like a pro. And she really cares about the big guy.
Shannon is one of the kindest people I know, especially when it comes to pets. She’s had her own pets most of her life and is rarely seen without a dog by her side! She loves them all and they all love her. She’s taken great care of my dogs on many occasions, sometimes just when I’m out for a long day and other times for weeks while I’m on vacation. She’s cared for my horses many, many times as well. If you’re looking for a responsible person who will show up on time, walk and love your pet, and care for it the same way you would, you’ll be happy you chose Shannon. She’s the best!

Schedule
I am available any day of the week! This isn’t a side gig—it’s my calling. As a full-time pet care professional, I’ve devoted my days (and sometimes nights!) to ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s energetic dog walks, attentive cat sitting, or specialized care for senior pets, I bring experience, reliability, and heart to every visit. I take the time to learn each pet’s quirks, routines, and preferences, offering personalized care that goes far beyond the basics. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle built on trust, compassion, and tail wags.
