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.

One of my favorite things as a petsitter is keeping families, including the kiddos connected to their pets when they're not together. I love the connection between kids and their pets and do what I can to keep the connection healthy and active.

Bella and Barkley have a little girl that misses them tremendously when she's not with them.

During my last session with the pups, mom sent me a video that the little girl had made saying that she missed her dogs and then she blew them kisses and said good night. I played the video for the dogs and they loved hearing her voice. I told mom that we'd make her a video too. 😍

Here is what the video did for her. The girl was thrilled to see her pups get excited when I said her name.

Lucy and Linus have been clients of mine for almost three years. Linus (the pup on the right) had a rough start in life though.

Linus was part of the Envigo rescue. In 2021, an undercover investigation by an animal-rights group found horrific conditions at the Envigo facility in Virginia: dogs and puppies crammed into cages, some injured or dead, living in filth, eating rotting, maggot-infested food, and sometimes euthanized while they were still conscious.

Almost 4000 beagles were rescued and rehomed to loving families across the country. It was the largest rescue in the history of the US Humane Society.

Linus was fortunate to find his new loving home with mom, dad and Lucy. Both pups are living the dream.

I'm so lucky and fortunate to be able to care for them both. Linus' previous situation stays in the back of my mind when I'm with him. I don't baby him, but I am more tender with him in certain situations.

I am so happy that he was able to find his forever home here in Wichita, where he's loved beyond measure.

This is Fredo. He's one of my newest clients. He has two canine brothers and two feline brothers so five boys in the house makes for quite an adventure at each visit!

Fredo is mostly blind and hard of hearing. Due to this, he doesn't like walking on the hardwood floors in his home so his parents have a lot of rugs all over the place. Fredo will walk around the house but only on the rugs. If you want him to come to you, you have to be standing on a rug. When he eats, I have to put his plate on a rug so that it doesn't slide across the kitchen.

My caring for Fredo and understanding his quirks has made for a much better experience for him when his parents are gone. He is a lot less stressed and is relaxed and comfortable when they get home.

For the first time ever on Halloween, I don't have a single visit in College Hill 👻.

If you're not familiar with Wichita, College Hill is a small neighborhood just east of downtown Wichita that has several blocks of massive Halloween displays. The front yards are decorated, complete with music, animatronics and candy, of course.

For the safety of the trick or treaters on the street, several streets are completely barricaded by police and vehicles are not allowed in or out of the barricaded area for the entire evening.

College Hill is a part of my service area so I have a lot of clients there. Many years, I've parked fairly far away and walked, which isn't horrible, except there is a TON of kids, adults and chaos!

I don't have any College Hill visits until Saturday morning so I don't have to worry about the craziness!

I think I'll kind of miss it, actually. But I have been able to see all the decorations in the daylight when I did my visits these past several days.

I hope all the kids are safe and have a lot of fun

This pretty girl is Dolley Madison. She's one of my newer clients, but I take care of Dolley and her sister Lucy quite a bit.

She is a cuddle bug and is as sweet as she is cute.

This is Ernie. His family has been a client of mine for a few years, but his owners typically take him along for their travels, so most of the time I just take care of the 3 kitties.

Every now and then, I get lucky and he gets to stay home with the kitties!

I got to care for him last weekend and we had such a great time. He loves to bring his toy to me when I come through the door, but he won't actually let me have it. He's such a tease. 😉

I just wrapped up another long booking with these cute little girls. The tan babe is Dolley Madison and the darker one is Lucy.

Lucy is very much a puppy so I spend a lot of my time throwing a ball and moving things out of her reach. Dolley can never get enough cuddles and kisses.

Lucy always greets me at the door with a toy and Dolley is always on the couch assuming the position for a good belly rub.

100+ hand-written, holiday greeting cards for my clients. I started on this project about six weeks ago and wrote the last one this evening. The next two months are crazy busy so I have to get my part of these done early or it won't get done

Thank God for my mother, who will address and stamp them all.

Gino is one of my newest clients. He has four pet siblings in the home, all boys, so a visit to their home is quite full of energy and affection.

Gino likes to recharge in his bed, which is big enough for about 15 of him. 😉

Gino and I got a bit of a slower start than the other boys in the home. He was friendly, but not too sure about getting too close to me. After the first few visits, I was able to pick him up, let him take treats from my hand and he even invited me to sit next to him and his bed which is a big deal for him.

He and I have moved to BFF status. ❤️

Milo and Bella. I took care of them again last weekend and they are always such a joy!

This duo really thrives on my services. I love how relaxed they are the entire time. Their owners always comment about how calm and happy Milo and Bella are when they return from their trips.

I work hard on creating routines within each home and I have created a great routine with these two. Routines keep stress low and help the pets know what to expect at each visit.

Another 5-star review!

I spend a lot of time with her two cats named The Girl and Jenny Craig.

I love that clients can just travel and visit family and not worry about their pets being safe and cared for.

We've adopted our last several dogs at the ages of 10 or older. We've said goodbye to 4 dogs in 4 years and have two more who are probably not far from crossing the bridge as well. That's a lot of heartache in a short amount of time.

The vet and I spoke just today about how rewarding it is to get to love pets at the end of their lives when they need love the most, but also how hard it is to constantly get your heart broken when they leave this world.

Adopt a senior pet and you'll find love in ways you've never known. ♥️

We call our home their last stop before heaven.
