Highlights
Pet care experience
Kindness + Patience + Love = Shan
I have over 40 years of experience caring for many kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and native wildlife. My journey through life has always involved providing for the needs of animals, plants and people. I have been (and still am) a certified vet assistant, native wildlife rehabilitation specialist, pet-sitter, and animal lover. Throughout my journey, I have learned that kindness, patience, love and empathy are the keys to understanding the natural world around us. Every step along life's path has added knowledge and experience that enables me to nurture the parts of that natural world we choose to include in our lives - from the garden that provides beauty, sustenance and peace to the feathred, furry and scaled critters we choose to be members of our family. I am no longer a part of the mainstream workforce, which allows me the time to focus my energy on your natural world. May our paths cross in happiness. PLEASE NOTE: I am currently only booking service requests for 2-day minimum stays (mostly). Due to the presently staggering costs of pretty much everything, shorter bookings are simply not financially feasible for me at this time. That being said, I will happily consider single-day bookings on a case-by-case basis but can't guarantee that I will accept them unless the stars align perfectly. Hopefully this modification to my availability will prove to be temporary and short-lived. Thank you for your understanding. 💕

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I am caring for your pet, I am completely focused on their safety and well being. I pick up on their behaviors and routines quickly so I am able to customize my visits based on their personality.
Ratings and reviews
Shannon stayed at our house for five days watching our dog Zuma, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her communication was excellent throughout — we got regular updates and never once wondered how things were going. She's easy to work with, low-maintenance, and clearly knows dogs; you can tell she has real experience and not just enthusiasm. Zuma was happy and well cared for, and we came home to a house in great shape. We'd book Shannon again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can actually relax about.
Shannon was a huge help for our family! She sent daily pictures and updates and was so communicative and quick to respond!
Thanks, Shannon, for always taking such great care of our pups and the house and the garden! I appreciate the updates and pics too.
Shannon was great, really gets my Lola. Great communicator
Shannon did a nice job with our finicky German Shepherd.
Shannon's dedication to our elder dog's care was exceptional. She is organized and dependable. Really happy we found her
