I am home full time and love dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am a HUGE dog person. I believe they need as much love and attention as we do. I have been caring for and walking all my neighbors dogs for about 8 years now. I am home all day so dogs will not be left unsupervised and they will be walked regularly. I understand bathroom urgencies so I stick to my word and take them out every two hours. The safety of your pet is my number one priority. I hope I can meet your dogs and help take care of them while you are away! I also do grooming and teeth brushing if necessary. I also give the dogs a special birthday treat from the dog bakery down the street from me (of course with the owners permission). Can’t wait to meet your furry four legged friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure boundaries and preferences are clearly stated before I enter anyone’s home to care for their dog. I would never want to over step or cross any boundaries so I make sure we discuss these matters prior to the care/visit. I am very thorough and ask a lot of questions about your pet to insure the safety of them and myself. At home I am a very tidy person and I bring those attributes with me when visiting your home as well!

Information Shannon W. would like to know about your pet

Prior to walking, visiting or caring for your dog I like to know the following pieces of information: Do they have any allergies? Any recent procedures or injuries that would inhibit certain activity or any limbs sore to touch? Do they have a disease or diagnosis that will require different type of care? Are there any specific triggers your dog has (sirens, other dogs, vacuum, etc) Favorite treats for good behavior?! How do they like to be walked (leash in mouth etc)?

A typical day

I am a huge game person! I think that’s why I get along with dogs so well haha. I like to play games with the dogs to stimulate them, provide the much needed exercise we both need, and create a bond between us. Games include fetch, racing eachother, tag, passing a balloon to eachother and on hot days playing in the creek at Central Park. I like to walk the dogs along the water at the seaport because it’s much safer away from any major traffic and we get lots of fresh air.
