About Shannon

We now also offer house sitting!

We are a happy and fun family of four who would like to open our home to your pet. Recently we lost our 5th member, our dog, after 16 years, and we'd like to fill the big space she's left with visiting bundles of fur.

As a stay-at-home mum with 2 girls in school (9 and 11 years of age), also a part-time student (biomedical science), I can provide your little friend with around-the-clock company and attention, plenty of walks, and an attentive loving family environment in the evenings when everyone is home.  

We have an air-conditioned house surrounded by parks, trees, and walkways. There is an off-leash beach less than 20 minutes walk away, or a few minutes drive. On weekends, we often drive out to Nudgee Beach or Shorncliffe, which was always a hit with our dog, so if your fur baby is with us for the weekend, and would enjoy this, its a likely outing. 

We have owned dogs, and other pets, throughout our lives. We nursed our high needs (terminally ill) dog during the last 18 months, so we understand the importance of medication and dietary diligence. As a volunteer, I hold a Blue Card (for working with children), and Yellow Card (working with elderly and disabled). These cards both require police and security checks. Your little friend will be very safe with us. 

Update: We've been hosting pets for over one year now, and we thoroughly enjoy the experience. We'd love to have your little family member come and stay with us. Or we can stay with or visit them at home while you're away to make sure they're happy, comfortable, loved, and fed.

Our two fur babies were completely spoilt and loved during their stay with Shannon and her family.

They felt completely at home, content, happy and loved during their stay.

Shannon was incredible with sending us photos of our babies whilst they enjoyed their holiday.

It made our holiday so much more enjoyable knowing our babies were so well care for and looked after. so grateful for the level of care. they shall be returning.

We'd like to thank Shannon and her wonderful family. They looked after our dog for 9 days and he was given the very best love and attention he could get. We were sent lots of great photos and messages about his life in their home which was very reassuring to us while on holiday. At times we thought he may not want to come home.

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have more than 30 years experience with pets, including dogs, birds, and fish (including marine fish). I’m comfortable giving medication to pets, including in-mouth solid/liquid (i.e. for Cushing disease, anti/diuretics, etc), on-skin/topical (eczema), and injections (diabetic). We nursed our high needs terminally sick dog, and ensured she got the best out of her last 18 months of life. I'm also familiar with caring for birds, including chickens. We had a marine tank for 10 years, so we are also familiar with tank health checks, equipment, and fish feedings, etc.
