Shannon's "Safe At Home" Petsitting

Shannon's "Safe At Home" Petsitting I care for all breeds/ages/sizes of cats and dogs. I was a pet handler (volunteer) with KHS for several years.

I specialize in seniors, special needs/amputees, pets with seizures, medical issues and blind/deaf pets, administering oral and injectible meds.

What does your pets' feeding time look like?

I have three dogs of my own who are all on special diets so they each have their own food. We keep them separated while they're eating or else they'll just want to eat each other's food.😜

Do you have a bowl of food available all the time for your pets to free feed or do you put food down for them at each visit? There's no right or wrong, it's just interesting to see what the pets are used to.

The other thing to take into consideration is if there are food limitations for a pet in the home. Some pets are on diets where their food intake needs to be monitored closely or where I have to make sure that one pet client doesn't eat the other pet's food since it could make them very ill. I have a pet client with pancreatitis who can't eat anything other than the prescription food I put down so I really have to make sure to pick up the other pet's food before letting them play or do anything else.

Getting it right is not only important to me, but imperative for the pets.

How many different treats do you have at your house for your pet? Are there any special rules for giving the pets treats?

Milo is back! He wanted to show everyone how pretty he is. He is just the happiest boy on earth.

Milo has been a client of mine for about a year and a half and we spend a lot of time together.

He is the picture perfect Golden Retriever both in looks and personality.

This is Willow. She is one of the most social cats I have as a client. I see her for about one week a year while her family is on their summer vacation, but she remembers me every time I walk in the door.

There are two young children in her home who love her very much. I mean, how could you not just love her?! 😻

This would be a great soundtrack for my meditation room. Such a calm and relaxing space. Pepper and I love being out here. (turn sound on)

Guess who's turning 3 today?!

Yep! The business wraps up our 3rd year today. I am so excited to see what year #4 has in store!

It has been a wild ride so far and I'm blessed beyond measure.

I'm so thankful for my clients and all the relationships I've built over the years. My clients know that I'm in this for the long haul and I work hard to secure my spot as their petsitter not just for their current pets but for their future pets as well.

I've had a significant increase of requests from clients who are actually at home at the time they need my services. I have quite a few who are going or have undergone medical procedures that limit their ability to care for their pets and they just need a bit of help filling in the gaps.

This could include not being able to clean litter boxes or clean and refill food dispensers and water fountains. It could also include giving medications and throwing the ball in the backyard with the dog or anything else that the pets might be used to but the owner is not able to do currently.

I have one client who is recovering from major heart surgery and needs just a bit of help from me filling in the gaps with caring for her cats. She tries to do as much as she can for her cats and then lets me know before each visit what she was able to do before she ran out of steam and what still needs to be done.

I love being a partner in care with my clients. I love helping them keep an excellent quality of life for their pets as needed. I definitely never thought that I'd be visiting homes where the owners were there, but I'm really enjoying it, getting to know my clients better.

These 3 are quite a hoot to care for! Remy, Coco and Peanut have been clients for about a year and a half.

They are 3 balls of energy. Fortunately, they have a nice fenced in yard that they can play in all day between my visits which helps to run off a lot of their energy.

They stay inside at night and in inclement weather and are confined to the very large kitchen in their home when they're inside.

Peanut continues to figure out how to jump the kitchen counters and end up in the dining room. 😉 The funny thing is that as soon as Peanut hears me at the front door, he tries to get back into the kitchen like he had been there the entire time but he can't figure out how to do it... Pets and their mannerisms are the reason I love this job!

Pi is a fairly new client of mine. I met her originally earlier this year and she's becoming very popular on my schedule! 😻

She's almost 18 years old! She's such a tender little girl who loves to watch me as I'm cleaning her litter box and filling her food and water.

She's very vocal and I have been instructed to only give her treats when she's quiet, so she'll sing to me the entire time I'm there and then be super, stealthy quiet as soon as I grab the treat bag.

I typically visit Pi over my lunch hour when she's on my schedule and she has started meeting me at the door when she hears my car in the driveway. It's like she's been waiting for me all morning.

Felix is a fairly new client of mine. His family was a bit worried that Felix might be stressed with all the storms that came through last week while he was home by himself. So, I took some video to ease their minds.

The entire week his family week was gone, Felix displayed no sign of anything other than being super chill and relaxed.

His favorite place to be is on the deck so that's where we always hang out after he and I make sure that his food and water bowl are full and his litter box is clean.

Archie has some new neighbor pups and he loves to play with them. The rule is that he can play and run the fence line with them, but his barking needs to be minimal.

I give him the "cease" command once he starts barking. He looks at me for a split second and continues to run and play with no barking. He always gets a high value treat when he follows the commands.

Tonight I learned that one of my very first clients is moving to Texas this weekend. 😭😭

This sweet boy is Roscoe. I've posted about him a lot on this page. He is one of my most cuddly pets and I will miss him a bunch.

We had a lot of special routines. His favorite one was me squirting whipped cream on the kitchen floor as his treat. He'd go to the fridge and stand there until I opened it up to get the can.

Oh sweet Roscoe. I'm so blessed to have met you right at the start of my journey. I wish you well on the rest of your journey and hope that your next petsitter thinks you're as special as I do. I love ya, dude.
