Shannon's "Safe At Home" Petsitting

Muji is almost 16 years old. She has arthritis, kidney disease, is missing an eye and unable to groom herself. She needs some TLC while her owner is away on vacation. He heard that I specialize in senior pets and is very happy he found me. Muji is doing very well in my care. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Sweet Muji, one of my newest clients. I met her just a few weeks ago and just wrapped up a four day visit with her. My specialty is caring for senior pets. I have three of my own and my husband and I have adopted many senior pets over the years. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Roscoe, one of my very first clients, loves his kennel ♥️. He gets a treat when he goes in there for bedtime so now he thinks that he gets a treat anytime he goes in there. 😉 Getting pets used to being in kennels when not used as punishment is a great thing. It helps to transport them easier in an emergency, allows them their own quiet space when they need it and also helps corral them in a community emergency. If a weather event hits your city and you have a ton of pets that are scared to go in kennels for safety, it could end badly. We've had tornadoes in neighboring communities where the responders could not get the pets that had gotten away from their home safely in kennels so the pets were in harms way as emergency efforts were taking place. 💔 Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Georgia and Heinrich again. They're just too cute to not post! Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Introducing Mable, my newest and one of the most social and playful cat clients I have. Mable is 7 years old, and just recently found her new home a few months ago when her family moved here from Florida and decided to visit the Humane Society for a new companion. She's a lucky girl to have a new home with so much love. Her mom told me that her name at KHS was "The Dragon From Shrek". I like the name Mable better. ♥️ Such a sweet, fun, playful kitty. I can't wait to see her again! Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Milo is very playful and rambunctious. A new thing he's started doing, just recently is playing in the bath tub. He also loves water dripping from the sink and is very curious about the water in his bowl. 💦 Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

This is Scruffy telling me I'm moving too slow getting the treats... Seriously, he was waiting impatiently for his sister to come in the doggy door. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

Man, I have it rough... This is how I spent part of my lunchtime today. This is Molly, the drama queen. She's exhausted from being so cute. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

I just wrapped up a 12-day session with these four kitties. This was my first visit ever with them so I was really surprised that they all met me at the door! I had a great time getting to know each of them better and learning all their different personalities and mannerisms. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

How I spent most of my lunch time last week. Playing fetch with Archie. He's a two-year old goldendoodle. Www.shannonspetsittingict.com 316-300-7219 [email protected]

I watched Maia and her brother, Scruffy for several days. After the first day, I could tell that Maia was full of extra energy and needed help releasing it. They are used to having access to a doggy door but there isn't one at their new house yet. I noticed a big difference in Maia once I started using the mat to feed her. Fifteen minutes of enrichment like this or making her have to work to get treats out of her kong is equal to several minutes of playing outside. It will wear them out! Enrichment like this is also great for their brains. It's the same kind of stuff we do for our dog with Alzheimer’s to keep his brain working hard.

Roscoe, a gorgeous Catahoula, who LOVES to play!
