Your dog's new best friends!
Pet care experience
My wife and I started watching dogs in 2023 as favors for friends. We work from home and can give plenty of attention. We also have a teenager who is happy to help with walks and keep the dogs company. We’d love to walk your dog, be a doggy daycare for them while you are at work, or watch them in our home while you are away. We are comfortable giving medicine, bathing (small/medium dogs), and cleaning the gunk out of their eyes and around. We are open to having 2-3 dogs from different boardings however, we will carefully review profiles and consult with owners before considering multiple boardings. We look forward to being your next dog sitter. We promise you your pup will find a new best human friend between the both of us. Sunshine & Shannon
Reviews
What a blessing it has been to have found Sunshine & Shannon. I had never left any of my dogs with anyone unless it was a family member, so to say that I was extremely nervous would be an understatement. This is why I say, what a blessing they are. They heard my concerns with Nico (my dog) and implemented the necessary steps to make sure Nico was safe and happy. I feel that if Nico could talk he would have asked me to stay longer with them. I am beyond happy to see how much love & attention they gave Nico, this means the world to me! Thank you, Sunshine & Shannon for taking care of Nico like your own!
Sunshine and Shannon are wonderful and were so kind to me and my pup! They send multiple updates throughout the day and are very understanding of your dogs needs. Thank you both for looking after Ollie!
Sunshine and Shannon were absolutely wonderful with Sadie. Right from the meet and greet, they showed genuine care and professionalism. They listened carefully to everything I had to say to familiarize themselves with Sadie's personality and preferences, followed through with every request of mine and kept in touch with me with regular updates and photos. All this gave me great relief that I had left Sadie in good hands. I could not have asked for more. I would absolutely entrust them with Sadie's care in the future.
Sunshine and Shannon were amazing! They were very responsive and flexible and even helped provide supplies that I had forgotten. Their love for animals was so evident with a warm welcome. I received updates with photos and videos as well! I couldn’t not have asked for a better place for Summer to say. Would highly recommend!

In our home, we can watch the dog as we work. The dogs have access to the side yard to allow the dog to get some fresh air and relieve themselves. For our friends that are closer to the ground with a longer body, we have a ramp allowing easy access in and out of the side yard. We maintain our side yard with weekly sweeping and cleaning of the doggie turf. We have built necessary boundaries to keep the dogs safe as they enjoy the weather outside. We like to interact with the dog while we take breaks (it’s fun us as well). With our staggered work schedule, there is someone always available to walk the dog as well give pets and cuddle time. We like to have meet and greets to ensure the owners and dogs are comfortable and feel safe in our home and with us. We go over treats, habits, and expectations. If there is a request for another dog boarding during a stay we will consult with both owners on their comfort with multiple dogs. We do have treats we can provide and we share this information with the owners to ensure if it is or is not in line with the dog's diet. Our goal is to make sure there is trust and transparency in every boarding and doggy daycare.

A typical day
Love tossing a tennis ball around. We will play with any squeaky toys they have as well we have a few toys for the dogs. Sometimes it will be a lazy day where the dogs prefer to find a perfect laying spot either outside in the sun, on the carpet, on the couch, or in our lap.

Availability
We work from home. Our teenager helps out after school with walks and keeping company. We don’t travel much. We have a truck making it easy to take the dog with us if needed. We plan out our weeks ahead to make sure our weekends are free to accommodate pets.
