"Without Shannon to take care of our American Bulldog, we would not have been able to go on trips. Stirling required
some medical attention and Shannon was able to provide it. Once, we were away on a trip, she took him to our vet because he
had bladder infection and followed through for the rest of the week, providing the necessary care for him."
Ruth Sutton
"Shannon
did an amazing job with our dogs. She watched them while we were in the hospital having our first child and it was nice not
having the added stress of who was watching our dogs. We knew they were well taken care of and in good hands. She listened
to everything we said and maintained their usual routine very nicely. "

"Shannon has been a loyal, kind and gracious pet sitter for our english bulldog, Bam, for more than 2 years.
She always has Bam's best interest at heart. Shannon lets us know in advance if she is going to be available to watch Bam
during a holiday as well as if she's going to be out of town or unavailable. It is extremely evident that she cares very deeply
for each pet she takes care of. If we ever need her last-minute she's always able to help out. Bam is a part of our family
and we only want the best for him. We know that Shannon provides wonderful care and would recommend her to anyone needing
assistance with their pets."

“Because
we were out of the country and wanted to avoid costly phone bills, Shannon texted us each day while she was at our home to let us know everything was ok.
It was a comfort knowing she was there watching over our cats. We will definitely use her again.”

“Shannon has been a kind and loving cat sitter for our two cats and takes on added responsibilities

“On numerous occasions, Shannon has taken care of my diabetic elderly dog. She always takes very good
care of Shayna. She even takes her for car rides and to visit friends.Shannon stays at our home with Shayna when we travel
and the house is always tidy upon our return. I would feel very comfortable reccomending Shannon to care of anyone's pet since
my dog is a high risk animal and Shannon did a loving job.”

“Shannon responded quickly to my request for information and was extremely forthcoming and cheerful.
She was very professional and made my frantic, last minute, rushed search for a Pet Sitter into a quick, painless, straightforward
process. Shannon took total responsibility and I went away with NO WORRIES. I returned to find that she had gone beyond expectations.
Thanks to Shannon !!”

"Shannon's
been taking care of my cats for years. I've always been happy with her service, but didn't think much about it. This Thanksgiving
however, my kitty got sick two days before I was supposed to go away! She had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days
and would be ready to come home the day I left! I called Shannon and she took care of everything..
including my worries!! She picked Connie up from the hospital (which was a half hour away), brought her home, made sure she
was alright, administered her medicine AND kept me updated the whole time. All this at her busiest time of the year! Because
of Shannon I was able to go home without to much guilt, and know that my kitty was in very
good hands! I unconditionally recommend Shannon!!"

“Shannon watched our dog for a few days while my husband and I were in Jamaica. While we were gone,
not only did she take great care of Gabby girl, she watered our plants and got our mail. We loved that Gabby could stay at
her own house. We would definitely recommend her services.”

"I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon Cole fore these reasons: 1. Shannon is extremely reliable. 2.
Shannon is skilled and caring.
3. Shannon's rates are very reasonable.
Shannon has taken care of my cats when I've gone out of town for many years. When I had an elderly
diabetic cat, Oliver, Shannon visited him twice a day and gave him his insulin injections. I rely on her now to take
care of my two young bundles of fur and energy, Henry and Timothy, whenever I'm away. I can be confident that they are
in excellent hands!"
Diana Reiser
“My husband and I treat our pups like our children (we are empty nesters with 2 shih tzus). We were
hesitant to vacation because our dogs are traumitized just by going to a groomer, let alone staying with a "stranger" in our
home. I can honestly tell you, Shannon changed all that. We received text messages to put our mind at ease and let us know
the pups were happy, eating and enjoying their walks. When we returned, the pups really didn't care that we were gone, or
that we were back. Our house was safe, our plants watered, our dogs happy, our mail brought in..... Shannon is a keeper.”

“I hired Shannon as a pet sitter for my two cats during my week long vacation. She did a wonderful
job feeding my cats and clearing the litter. What impressed me most is that she is a super nice person and very professional
with animals. My very shy little kitten fell in love with her from day 1 when she came to pick up my door key. I am pretty
happy about the service.”

"Shannon stayed in our home and took care of our pug, Letty, when our family was out of the country and she
did a fabulous job! Letty has some health issues and Shannon's frequent updates and photo's sent via cell phone were
incredibly reassuring that all was well. We felt we could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Letty was healthy
and happy. When we returned from our trip and Shannon left, Letty followed her with her eyes and actually stared
at the door for about a minute. They definitely bonded and Letty will remember Shannon when she returns to care
for her! I cannot recommend her services more highly."
Laura Roth and Family
“Shannon was recommended by a co-worker who hired her to pet-sit her diabetic cat. Since then I have used her several
times to care for my cats one of which is a diabetic who requires insulin shots. I needed someone who was highly skilled in
pet care and dependable. She is that and more - great personality and obviously cares about pets. I never worry about my cats
when in her care!”

"Shannon is reliable, friendly and most important, she is more than just a
pal to my Buddy, she is his friend with whom I can count on in a moments notice. Shannon's
Pet-Sitting is A-1 in my book and gets two paws up, and many tail wags from me and my pooch!"
Eric Kinkle
"Outstanding, Outstanding, Outstanding!!!! Shannon's the best dog sitter in town. She took great care of my
Boxer while we were on vacation. She even took the time to text us pictures of our dog."
Lea & Troy Radunsky
"Shannon did a great job sitting for my pets. She kept me updated everyday and even took the time to send
me pictures of them. She helped me to feel at ease while on vacation because I truly felt that my animals were in great hands.
I would definately recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her sit for my pets again in the future!"
Nicole Grandt
"I
love Shannon
and my dogs really loved her. She keeps me up to date on what's happening. She is great with the dogs and my oldest dog is
not easily fooled so I am truly pleased with her services. Considering she had to walk the dogs separately 4 times a day it
was fantastic. She out did her self. I loved how my dogs were acting when I returned. They got along great with her and they
really enjoyed the time they spent with her. She did everything I asked of her including getting the mail and such. I felt
that my home was safe and my dogs care was in good hands. Although I rarely need a sitter she keeps in touch and lets me know
of new services."
Peggy Stiller
"Shannon has taken care of my cats two times while I was away. My cats
loved her, and they don't even like most strangers! I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!!!!"
