Reviews
Very professional dog knowledge, and great communication while we were away!
Dependable. Sends updates. Overall a very caring person the dogs loved her! Definitely booking in the future ?
Our pups love her! Within minutes of meeting with them, I knew they would get along great with her. She showed up prepared with a pocket full of training treats (fastest way to our pups' hearts! lol). I also noticed that she remained calm when my grouchy girl chug was throwing a fit. Would definitely work with Shannon again! :)

Information Shannon W. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer to use the equipment that the dog is used to wearing. Any activities, tricks, favorite toys or treats are helpful too. I do not feel comfortable leaving your pet with any long lasting chews due to the risk.
A typical day
Generally it depends on what the animal's normal routine is, I'm happy to walk, train or even snuggle with your pet if that's what they prefer. I would prefer to go on the dog's normal walking routine so they can be comfortable in a familiar environment.
