Shannon's "Safe At Home" Petsitting

09/08/2025

Two of my newest clients, different homes.

The funny thing is that the German shorthair/Dachshund mix is Ozzy. The boxer is also Ozzie.

Both of these sweeties' families have been with me for quite a while, these are just the newest additions to the family. ♥️

I am honored to continue to sponsor Pet Pals, a Wichita Senior Meals on Wheels program that provides pet food and supplies to Meals on Wheels recipients.

The program was created because many recipients were either sharing their food with their pets or asking for additional human food to feed their pets.

I now provide all of the cat and dog food for Wichita Meal Meals on Wheels recipients on a monthly basis.

I love knowing that this helps bridge the gap and allows owners to be able to just care and love for their pets and not worry about about food insecurity.

I spent this weekend with these two kids. Milo is the golden and Bella is the cotton ball.

I have done over 150 visits with these babes and it never gets old. Milo meets me at the door with his sock monkey and Bella needs picked up and kissed as soon as I walk in the door.

We have had an excellent routine for a long time. Each morning, we go on their back deck and they take turns getting brushed. It's a whole ridiculous process that they love. Then, each evening, we walk to the mailbox and then if Bella is OK to proceed, we'll walk a bit further. If she doesn't want to proceed, we'll either head back home or I'll carry her for the rest of the walk and let Milo lead the way. 😉

Either way, they're completely spoiled in my care. Their owners have no worries when they travel. They say the fact that they can leave for several days and not worry at all is priceless and worth every penny they pay.

A thank you note from Archie's boys who are quite young. They always leave me a nice note and I have kept all of them. I actually have all the notes/cards any of my clients have ever written to me.

The boys read to Archie every night so I do the same when I'm caring for him. Our book tonight was called The Smile, which is fitting since Archie makes everyone smile. Archie has been working very hard helping the family adjust to getting back to school.

Two of my newest clients, same home. Sabine is the tabby and Lando is the panther. They both found their way into their new home just one day apart.

They've been with their new family for about six months so everyone is still getting to know everyone, including the kitties getting to know each other.

Their parents were a bit apprehensive about throwing me in the mix while everyone is still getting to know each other.

These two were in my care for several days last week and they did a great job. They had great appetites which is the main thing I monitor for anxiety and stress. These two showed no signs of either the entire time.

I love it when my services work so beautifully, just like they're intended.

Archie's family has a prayer board in their hallway that has photos on it. If your pic is on the board, they're praying for ya!

Between the pics of school teachers, family members, first responders and even our country's flag on the board, I saw this pic of Archie and I. ♥️ It definitely stopped me in my tracks the first time I saw it.

I am honored to be a part of my clients' lives. I am so thankful for all the families I've met over the years.

I just wrapped up a ten day booking with Jaxson and his 3 canine siblings. They are all so sweet and very well behaved.

I have become his best friend for sure.

"One happy little family back together again makes all the difference."

That is a response from a client who is using my new Pet Care 911 service. 😻

The entire purpose of this service is to help bridge the gap in them caring for their own pets.

This client and her husband are both going through medical treatment and are unable to fully care for their pets at this time. I'll continue to be there for them as long as needed.

I'd like to say that these pups are staring at me because they love me so much... Which is probably true. But, the real reason is... treats in my hand...

Morris Animal Foundation is one that I support through my business. I make a generous donation in memory of every pet client when they pass away.

This is the best way I can think of to honor the pets that we love and lose.

Right now, funding for scientific research is under threat. Your gift protects the science that leads to better veterinary care, better treatments, and longer, healthier lives for dogs, now and for generations to come.

One happy pup.

Scruffy always acts like he won the lottery when I walk in his door. He lays down right in my way on the floor until I pet him and tell him he's a pretty boy.

I love that I'm the pets' best friend when their owners are gone. I'm told I'm his favorite girl in the whole world, after his momma, of course.

I have quite a few clients who hired me after they had horrible experiences with other sitters.

I have one client whose sitter didn't show up for the entire weekend so the two dogs pottied as close to the back patio door as they could (knowing that was as close as they could get to going outside), ruining the sliding glass door, door track and flooring.

The dogs also got so hungry that they opened the pantry doors and ate all the kids' after school snacks including fruit roll ups, cookies and cereal.

The pups unfortunately went a few days with no water once they drank what was left for them originally.

I've had these clients for a full year and every now and then, I send them a pic of the food and water bowls; all clean and full. We've even decided that a third water bowl would be used just to ensure that the pups never went without.

Such a simple gesture but it's important to me to understand what it is my clients most worry about. It should never be the basic needs of caring for a pet.
