Pet care experience
Exceptional Care for Every Pet
With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide range of exotic species, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and a commitment to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments, ages, and needs—and I take pride in creating a calm, comfortable environment for every animal I look after. I previously owned and operated a business specializing in training large-breed dogs with behavioral issues, giving me advanced skills in handling reactive, anxious, and strong-willed dogs with confidence and patience. This background allows me to support even the most complex behavioral or routine needs. I also have personal experience caring for special-needs pets and senior animals, including those requiring medication, mobility support, or extra time and understanding. I know how important consistency, gentleness, and attentive observation are when supporting pets who need a little more care. Whether it’s maintaining daily routines, providing enrichment, addressing behavioral needs, or simply offering love and reassurance, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, respected, and truly cared for while you’re away. Your pets are family—and I’m here to treat them as my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I was so impressed with Shannon. She was very professional, managed the dogs effortlessly, and returned them happy, safe ,clean and tired. Cannot recommend her enough.
Shannon is super friendly, flexible, and punctual. She also really gets dogs as she has a dog of her own. My dog loved her and always came straight to the door when she came to pick him up. She accommodated our schedules and was always on time. We were so impressed with her professionalism that we are already trying to rebook with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon’s services and she is definitely our go to walker for the foreseeable future.
Thanks Shannon for giving Echo a great walk!
Shannon is amazing with my dog Maggie. She’s kind, reliable, and understands Maggie’s big personality perfectly. Maggie always comes back happy and well cared for. I trust Shannon completely and highly recommend her.
Shannon walked our senior beagle, Owen, every weekday for two years and also cared for him whenever we traveled. Owen had several chronic illnesses and was on multiple medications, which could be challenging—but Shannon never had any issues. She treated Owen with so much care and dignity, and her compassion truly stood out, especially on Owen’s last day and we will always be grateful to her.
Shannon took care of my American Bully when he was a puppy, and I can honestly say she made a huge difference for us. She helped resolve all the issues we were having at the park and while walking on leash, and her calm, knowledgeable approach worked wonders. Shannon is patient, responsible, and truly understands dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

I currently work from home and have a senior shepherd x rottie, a cat, and many exotics. I am extremely flexible and have no issues driving to your home.

I take my time to ensure that I leave your home as I found it, making sure to clean up any messes your pet may make.

A typical day
Routine is important, especially when your pet is not at home. In addition to upholding your routine, we will take time in every day to do your pets favourite activity. I believe mental exercise is just as important as the physical and I have many “brain” games for every age and breed.
