Safety, trust & environment

No dogs allowed in my apt, so i'll come to you! I am very vigilant about safety. I triple check everything- locks, sharp objets, & loud noises. I clean up after your dog & also myself.

Information Shannon W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything & everything there is to know about your friend. The more detailed, the better. Medication or behavioral issues? No problem, but i would love to know so i can better care for your pet! I'm pretty strong, but i'm only 5'2". Gentle giants only please.

A typical day

A typical day would start & end with lots of pets & cuddles, stimulating activities both indoors & outdoors, & hopefully a long walk (or run or hike if your pup is up for it) to a local park or trail, or around the neighborhood! I always research new places before taking your pup to make sure it is a safe environment with accessible parking & lots of wandering room.

Pet care experience

I work remote as a photo editor & graphic designer. I love to spend my free time walking & hiking..preferably with a pup! I also have experience with cats, kittens, rabbits & other rodents & reptiles as well as puppies & senior dogs & dogs with disabilities. I can dispense medication. I get along with animals of varying personalities 😁 ** I do dog walks midday during the weekdays & match well with animals that can be left alone for at least 4 hours.

Shannon is the best! Frequent photo updates. House is always cleaner than when we left. Our cat Willow is a big fan

It was our first time using Shannon for an overnight visit with our pup and cat and she was the best sitter we’ve had! She asked great questions at the meet and greet and was on top of all communication. She sent detailed updates and lots of pics multiple times during her short stay! Our pets seemed happy and content making us feel comfortable with leaving them in Shannon’s care— we look forward to using her again in the future!

Shannon is the very best pet sitter!! She is so good with our very needy pit bull and our very shy cat! Our dog had an injury before we left and we would have had to cancel our trip if we didn’t have Shannon for a sitter. She’s so attentive, patient and kind and it gives us such peace of mind when we are away. My pets love her. When we get home, our dog sits by the window for a couple of days looking for her!! She also sends lots of photos (professional quality!) and updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!
