Pet care experience
I’ve had fifteen plus years of pet sitting including special experience and care with new puppies, seniors, and pets with disabilities/illnesses/very specific diets that required extra TLC. When I look after your pet, I want them to have the same wonderful experience they always get—maybe with a couple more treats snuck in for some extra pampering. Working in the theater has kept me cool under pressure (hah) and I am then able to implement useful skills and knowledge such as dog CPR, poison control practices (including plant and food safety for cats and dogs), and pet behavior. I’ve taken care of various exotic animals and am always willing and eager to learn the ropes for a new furry or unfurry friend.
Reviews
Shannon was fantastic, communicative, and sent lots of pictures. Rosie loved her and we look forward to booking with her again.
Shannon is a wonderful and caring person. She keeps you well informed about your dogs daily activities with verse and pictures. Our dog always had a smile and posed so well that it indicated to me how happy he was with Shannon. She followed all the instructions and discovered all of my dogs many personalities and habits which tells me she really got to know Morty on a personal level. Shannon is a rare jewel; so lucky to have found her.
Shannon did a great job taking care of our pus whoever were out of town. She really took the time to understand their personalities and needs (esp snuggle needs, which with our pair is pretty high! 🤣) and really made them feel at ease. She sent tons of updates and cute pics while we were away and the dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. Highly recommend!
Shannon was exceedingly thoughtful, kind and professional to work with. She took great care of our dog and cat and home while we were away. Would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to others!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My years of experience with a variety of different animal breeds—especially with senior dogs, animals with disabilities, and pets with extra needs makes me comfortable creating a caring environment for your pet. I follow specific diet plans, med plans (oral, liquids, and injectables), exercise routes, and daily routines. I adhere to what your pets need and always check in with photos and excellent communication. I also use best practices and judgement for the safety of your precious animals that I would extend to my own. I am independently insured for pet sitting (in the home and dog walking).
Information Shannon T. would like to know about your pet
I love to know if there’s certain behaviors I should be aware of—I get along with animals with all sorts of personalities. From puppies to seniors. Medications, likes/dislikes, and any special reactions or behaviors are things I love to know! Knowing if your pet is up to date on vaccines is also necessary.
A typical day
I love to know the schedule that your animal is used to and best adhere to that. From meal times to the triple expected walk (that my dog now expects because of the pandemic), and favorite toys!
