About Shannon
Hi there! I'm Shannon, and I have moved to Dublin from Indiana (US) to be with my husband. I sadly had to leave my senior dog, Misha, in the states and miss being around my sweet friend.
I have been animal lover since I was a child. My family fostered cats and dogs for the local animal shelter. I grew up raising a variety of animals as well - dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and birds.
I have a lot of experience as a dog walker and dog sitter - from puppies to seniors. As well as a long time volunteer with animal shelters and humane societies. I am happy to walk, talk, play with, snuggle, and reinforce training for your pets.
I am available most evenings during the week, and all day during the weekends. I am able to administer medication to any animal. If your animal does need some basic grooming (I.e bath, brushing) I will be able to help out. A walk for the dog is very important. I would typically walk for a half hour or more depending on the dog and their energy levels. This could be around your neighborhood or if there is a nearby park to take them to explore.
For home visits I will be able to stay for a few hours at a time. If you need mail to be brought in or plants watered just let me know and I would be happy to accommodate that request. If you need a house sitter I am also available. I have a swing schedule so I am able to work remotely some days and could be there with your furry friend the majority of the time. This allows you the peace of mind of mind that both the house and your beloved pet are taken care of.
Pets are a part of the family and we all have our own way for caring for them. My job is to be there so you don't have to worry about anything. If your pet is a little shy or needs to time to warm up to strangers, I am more than happy to arrange to meet before hand so they can get used to me and we can hopefully prevent unnecessary stress.
I would love to help care for your furry friend(s). Send me a message and I will be in touch!
