“Shannon is top notch. When life happened for us and we were so nervous about leaving our high anxiety dog with someone new she took the task with calm and so much good energy and joy. Her patience, love for dogs, incredible canine environment made a difference. Shannon is incredible with daily updates and rest assured you can ease your mind when leaving your beloved pet with her.”

“Fred boarded our dog in his home, took him for walks and provided undivided attention. Fred is great with communication and sent multiple pics of our dog during the stay. We have already booked another stay with Fred in the near future. Highly recommend.”

“Had our grandma doggo for 3 days, arrived on time for pick up and did a great job keeping her busy for the weekend. Absolutely great pet hosts and will use them again in the future, they were able to be home for the weekend, took my old anxious girl on walks around Marquette’s best spots and responded to every message I had checking in on things. My dog has had trouble with being left alone in the past and they are able to accommodate her needs.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Republic
About: Hey there! I have taken care of my families and neighbors pets for years, and with help of a friend I realized I could save for graduate school by doing so. I have had puppies and worked with multiple at the same time, and in general I feel fit for whatever you’ll need me to do. I’m excited to start this journey! I’m currently working part-time over summer, and I would love to use my extra time during the weekdays or weekends to help take care of pets. I am generally free after 1:00 or 4:00 pm. I take my labradoodle on walks daily and make sure her food and water tray is full most of the time. She has an online training I have used a lot of the resources from to teach her new things, like patience! We also make sure to clean the backyard every few days.
“Shannon was wonderful with Roux! While my husband and I were out kayaking, she took Roux on a full day of hiking, swimming, and relaxing at the park. It made me so happy knowing Roux was having her own adventure instead of waiting around for us. Shannon was kind, patient, and clearly enjoys spending time with dogs. That patience goes a long way with a curious, energetic 7 month old puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roux was in such caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Shannon again.”

About: I fully believe in the power of pets as best friends and emotional support companions, and I want to help take care of your furry loved ones! In my role, I am all about communication first. I have around +2 years of pet-sitting/care experience with diverse dog breeds (chihuahua, pitbulls, schnauzer, mixed) and cats from family members and friends, as well as my own. I have experience doing drop-in visits (feeding, playing, grooming/cleaning, petting) and dog walking (around neighborhood or on pet-friendly nature trails). To further build my experience, I make sure that I have the client's detailed pet routine clearly documented before I accept a drop-in or pet walking visit. I will provide a full-time experience with your pets and make them feel cared for and loved. I will 100% use a baby voice for every sweet pup and kitten I play with! I am working part-time and I have a lot of time flexibility to fully care for your lovely pets. I am responsive while on the job and I try to be quick to accept/decline a new booking. While I can be flexible most of the times, I will let my clients know if there is a weekend or weekdays that I am unavailable. From start to finish, constant communication with my clients is always my top priorirty! I use patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. While providing services at my clients' homes, I quickly learn the areas where the pets will be the most comfortable and avoid possible triggers. I am happy to adjust and, if requested by the client, to meet pets beforehand to build trust and make everyone comfortable during this experience!

About: Hi! I love dogs and animals so much and would love to be able to care for them and interact with them while making some extra cash. I do work full time as a Registered Nurse, but my work schedule allows me to have availability to care for animals as needed! I’m very responsible and have grown up with dogs my whole life :) I will be in school, but my schedule has a lot of availability, I may be working part time, but haven’t decided if I will be or not. I can handle any service needed for my clients pets, I have a good understanding of what certain environments pets may need and how to enact those services in a professional and caring way.
“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my dog! She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and well cared for!! I could tell that my dog absolutely adored her! I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and compassionate to care for their pets!!”
