Seasoned Dog Pal

Pet care experience

Hi! I have 13 years of experience working with dogs, and a lifetime with a total of 6 dog pals, from my wee years until now. I have 1 lovely 18-year-old Chug, named Basil. I adopted him when he was 3, so we've been best friends for 15 years! I have worked as a dog sitter, animal sitter, dog walker and always have a dog in my own family. All of my dogs have always been rescues, but most of the dogs I have walked or sat have been pure bred. I have skills with helping dogs change habits (i.e., a leash puller learns to walk next to me, or a small dog learns to not bark at every creak in the floor).

Shanann is great! She has been super professional and flexible to work with. You can tell how much she genuinely loves dogs and goes out of her way to make everything a special experience for your pet. So happy to have met her and will continue to utilize her for walking my furbabe on long work days. Thanks Shanann!

Imagine my worry when my puppy sitter got sick last minute. I was apprehensive about using an app. To find a trusted pet sitter. Then I found Shannon. I knew her from 20 years ago. We worked together in restaurant hospitality. I was on my way to feeling much better. She accepted the booking and did an amazing job. Shannon has always had a loving heart for those she is interacting with. Whether human or animal she goes above and beyond. I'm beyond grateful and thankful for her help. And rekindling a friendship in another stare and town so many years later. She's a keeper. I'm forever indebted to this service for reuniting us.

Shanann always takes great care of our little dog. She always takes her to parks for nice long walks and treats her like one of her own. We will be back for our next vacay!

Shanann was so AMAZING! From the moment we met at her place for the meet and greet and through my dogs stay. Shanann took very good care of Dolce, she sent updates throughout his stay, informed me of his eating patterns and how he was sleeping. When he wasn't eating she asked if he could have sliced turkey. She also made necessary changes to his food when he wasn't eating and it helped. She took him on daily outings to the dog park and walks. Not only was Shanann great, her entire family was AWESOME and welcomed Dolce into their home. We also loved the big backyard that allows for dogs to get some outside time and potty when needed. We will definitely use Shanann again when we need a sitter, she's AMAZING!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very aware that every pet and their human pals have certain routines and habits. My goal as a long-time caregiver is to always honor whatever you request of me and also attempt to emulate energy and behaviors shared with the pets. I always send text and photo updates. I like to make sure I know who to call in the case of an emergency, and if a relationship is ongoing, I request that my contact is noted as someone who can communicate with their veterinarian.

Information Shanann H. would like to know about your pet

I have an 8-year-old who is very aware of appropriate manners to interact with animals. It would be nice to know how your dog feels about children. She is with me here and there throughout the day and night, so she will be periodically with your furry family and me. I'd also like to know a little about the character of your pal. The more nuances I'm privy to, the better we can get to know each other and set up appropriate boundaries.

A typical day

I love walks and heading on trails in Ashland (sometimes the dog park but it really depends on the energy of the folks at a given time). Playing fetch is also a blast!

I've had my own business for 7 years now and moved to Ashland 2 years ago. Before moving here, I was able to offer more services, but am now focused upon pet care in client's homes and walks. I unfortunately cannot board anyone at my home and am also unable to stay the night in pet homes. Although, I am extremely aware of routine with animals and can plan to be at your home with the morning and evening routine in check, and morning, midday and evening walk + playtime included. I am in an online asynchronistic master's program and have an 8-year-old daughter. My time is very flexible aside from my daughter's school routine and transporting her to afterschool classes.
