About Shannon

Hi! 

I'm an Aussie from the east coast.

Being a dog lover and very experienced with a wide range of dogs, you can be sure that I'll treat your pets with great care.

Good pet parenting requires attention, patience, gentleness, being in tune with how your pet is feeling and what they need (wouldn't it be amazing if they could just text us to let us know what they want?). 

Pet sitting also requires the above, plus the ability to quickly develop a bond and establish trust - particularly with anxious pets. 

I also bring training skills. I love teaching dogs new tricks and games to keep their minds and bodies active.

On a personal level, I'm sensitive, caring and compassionate. I have my own private practice as a counsellor. I only do telehealth sessions, allowing me to WFH.

I mainly service the northern coastal suburbs.

Overnight pet sitting includes:

  • care for 1 - 2 dogs (or 1 dog + up to 2 cats)
  • up to 1 hour of walking and/or exercise each day 
  • the usual daily necessities including feeding, water refresh, medication (if needed), toileting, poop pick up/litter change, daily brush, company and affection, maybe an occasional ukelele session
  • plant watering, bin day, mail collection

House Sitting
Emma, 2024-10-04

Shannon has been the best sitter we have ever had. I was so impressed how she’d not only looked after our house but the level of care she gave our dog. She had clearly spent quality time with him, taught him new tricks, taken him on plenty of walks and kept in daily contact with updates on how things were going. I would highly recommend Shannon. She enabled us to go away without having to stress about how things were at home.

Shannon was great! Helped us out in a last minute rush, provided multiple updates with photographs and genuinely likes animals. House sat for us and looked after our 2.5yo tabby cat and would definitely recommend her

Familiar with dog training techniques
I've previously had a dog with severe separation anxiety - this led me to working with a behaviourist in order to find training techniques and methods to help manage my dog's extreme levels of distress. Countless hours of dedicated training and a lot of patience were required to achieve success! While most dog training I've done has been out of necessity, I really enjoy training dogs in basic and fun skills which foster communication, connection and cooperation. For example, I've taught: - a silent rescue dog to find their voice by being able to "speak" on command - a water-phobic dog to swim (he was doing big belly flops and competing with his sister in no time!) - a counter-surfing dog to use self-control - a range of dogs how to use their paws and play a fun guessing game
