Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm hearts for little paws
What sets me apart is the combination of real dog-mom experience, a deep passion for animal welfare, and years of caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I’m comfortable with all types of breeds and temperaments, and I focus on giving each dog exactly what they need—whether that’s playtime, routine, comfort, or calm companionship. Beyond pet sitting, I’ve also hosted adoption events and built a network with local shelters, including supporting dogs on euthanasia lists by helping them find safe placements. This work has taught me how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and provide gentle, loving care to dogs who may be anxious or shy. My background as a previous dog mom helps me understand how important peace of mind is. I care for every dog with the same attention, love, and safety I wanted for my own. Your pup isn’t just watched—they’re truly cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided. I make sure water bowls stay fresh, food areas and litter or potty spaces remain clean, and the home is left tidy after each visit. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for in the space they trust most—their own home.
Ratings and reviews
Shannon was so cute with my cats! She sent me pictures each time she visited them. She is responsive to any concern, and is quick to communicate if she has concerns herself. I will absolutely be rebooking her in the future, thank you Shannon for being awesome and caring for my cats like they are yours. -Erica
Shannon has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. She's great with her cats & has lots of experience with them. She also Fostered a dog that she did very well with, that I ended up adopting. She continues to check in on him and I send pictures. She's always been there for any advice I may need to help me with my furbabies. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets, weather that's for a walk or pet sitting. You'll never have any worries at all leaving your furbabies in Shannon's care.
Shannon is so great with my pups. They're a bit of a handful energy-wise, but she's patient and calm. To me, that says she really gets how to handle dogs. She's on time, trustworthy and she reinforces their training by using the commands they've learned. It's a huge relief that I don't have to worry when they're with Shannon, she really does care for my dogs as if they were her own. Highly recommend!
I have known Shannon for 15+ years. You could not find a more caring human on this earth. Her love for all animals goes beyond imagination. She has been involved and advocated in animal shelters, adoptions, fostering animals until they have a forever home all around Ventura county and surrounding areas. I would trust Shannon with our fur babies, A husky and two cats. Not only trust her with the care of our animals, but in our home, or taking them out of the home on walks, and fun outings. Shannon is just as caring and kind in all aspects of life, but her love for all animals is truly remarkable. You could not and will not ever find a more trustworthy person to watch and care for your loved ones.
Shannon has always loved animals and has always made sure they have everything they need. Love, compassion, food, toys, treats, etc. She is also fostering some kittens. I know she would take really great care of your dogs and cats.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Shannon for years, and I can honestly say there are few people who care about animals as deeply as she does. She regularly volunteers her time to help foster animals and is always willing to step in whenever an animal is in need. Shannon is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and compassionate. She treats every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that she would give her own. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, making sure pets feel safe and comfortable, or simply giving them extra affection, she always goes above and beyond. I would trust Shannon with my own pets without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will care for them like family, I can’t recommend her enough.

Schedule
I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but pet care fits naturally into my evenings and weekends. I do work from home 4 days a week and can drop in during the day if needed as well. I’m available for visits after work, as well as throughout the weekends, and I make sure each pet gets my full attention, consistency, and care during those times. My schedule allows me to provide reliable support for families who need evening check-ins, weekend care, or flexible coverage outside standard work hours.
