Pet care experience
With almost a decade of pet sitting experience, I am well versed identifying and supplying the individual needs for a variety of animals. I am comfortable with leash-walking, feeding/watering, and administering liquid or pill medications to cats and dogs. In addition to this, I am happy to water your inside or outside potted plants, gather mail, or adjust your home settings as part of my services. Having grown up with pet dogs, I see animals as family members and enjoy spending time verbally praising their efforts, showing affection by petting or light scratching - depending on the animal’s preference - and I feel a good tail wag is always an indicator of a good visit. I believe your pet will tell you how they’ve been cared for when you return so I make every effort to pamper them when I represent you in their care. I am available for overnight sitting, dog visits or walks after work (the time I can arrive depends on where you live), and occasional lunch visits if your home is near Plano, TX. I do work traditional hours in an office-setting so I am not available for mid-day service.
Reviews
Shannon has been by far one of our favorite and most trusted dog sitters ever! She understands that our dogs are our babies, and gives them the time, attention, love and affection that they would get if we were there! She has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND for us, even going so far as to huddle in our bathroom with our 2 dogs once during a tornado! (And that was with one doggie who had thunderstorm anxiety!) She was quick to check in and say that all was well, and put us at ease Immediately. I guess the ultimate compliment for Shannon would come directly from our dogs, who, after one trip, greeted us so indifferently and calmly that is was almost as though we hadn't ever left! Shannon has recently taken the time to come to our Home to meet our newest puppy, so that when her next sitting gig happens, she won't be a stranger to the pup. (They hit it off famously, incidentally!) Our fur girls love Aunt Shannon, and so do we! I told her once that if I ever have to hire another sitter, SHE will sit in on the interview!!!! I trust her implicitly in my home, with my dogs, and know that she takes her duties very seriously. She is a gem!
Shannon has taken care of my cat a few times in the last couple years and I could not say enough about her! She is wonderful at taking direction, very considerate of our animals needs and accommodating for our schedule. Shannon always has your pets best interests in mind and will take care of them like they are her own, even if it's a cranky cat that doesn't like people. I trust her at my house and is responsible with our house alarm and locked doors. I will always recommend Shannon for any of your pet sitting needs!
Shannon has babysat our dogs for us on numerous occasions for many years and we love her! Before each visit, she is in contact with us to review our puppies' schedules and any special needs for the visit. She always makes sure they are fed, watered, played with, and cuddled while we're gone. She texts us updates and even sends us a few photos of the puppies happily hanging out with her. We've used her services for so long, with such good results, that we confidently have given her a spare key to our home!
