Thank you both!🤗”

“I can’t say enough great things about Shannon! While I was out of the country, she took such great care of my dog, Remie. From the moment I left, Shannon kept me totally at ease, she was super responsive, always quick to message back, and sent tons of pictures and updates throughout our trip. It made such a difference knowing Remie was not only being looked after but was genuinely happy and having a great time. It was clear they formed a real bond, and I came home to a very content baby. I would absolutely trust Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and communicative sitter!”
