About Shannon
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm Shannon, a lifelong animal lover currently pursuing my Master's degree in Clinical & Counseling Psychology. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals, and I'm comfortable and confident handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have volunteered extensively with animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with rescue animals, senior pets, and animals with unique behavioral needs. I also have a fear-reactive rescue dog of my own, which has given me firsthand experience safely managing reactivity, reading canine body language, and helping nervous dogs feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness!
