Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am *always* extra careful with other people's pets and homes (EX: I'll come in through a garage or enclosed porch if available to have an extra layer of containment to prevent escapees, I check doors/gates/latches, supervisor outside/yard time, I put the emergency/vet information in my phone first thing, as examples) Let's discuss any safety other other concerns or needs!
Ratings and reviews
We had an excellent experience with Shannon! She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs for five nights. Although she was a new sitter for us, she immediately made us feel comfortable with how thorough and detail-oriented she was throughout the process of getting to know us, our home, and the dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she was wonderful with both of them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and would highly recommend her!
Shannon T. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
We absolutely love Shannon, and more importantly, so does our dog, Gus. We struggled for many years trying to find a good option for Gus when we go on vacation. We had a few bad experiences with local kennels, so we stopped using them. We finally found Shannon last summer and she has been everything we hoped for. She's courteous and conscientious, respectful of our home, and treats Gus as if he were her own dog. Shannon is great about sending us thorough daily updates and pictures so we don't have to worry about our boy. We highly recommend Shanon!
Great with our dogs for a few hours in our house!!
Thanks for taking care of the girls and the casa while I was away!
can’t say enough wonderful things about Sharon and the care she provides for my dogs, Bubba and Maddie. From the very first moment, it was clear that she treats them as if they were her own. Bubba—who can be a little much at first—warmed up to her immediately, and Maddie absolutely loved her Sharon is incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive. I always get thoughtful updates, photos, and little stories about their day, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. It’s obvious she pays close attention to their personalities and needs, whether it’s extra snuggles, slow-paced play for my older dog or just keeping their routines consistent. Knowing that Bubba and Maddie are safe, happy, and genuinely loved makes all the difference. Sharon is truly a gem, and I’m beyond grateful to have her caring for my pups. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly, look no further—Sharon is exceptional.
