Shannon's Pet Sitting

Shannon's Pet-Sitting takes responsibility for feeding, dog walking, cleaning up litter boxes and yards, changing cage paper, administering medication and above all, spoiling your furry and feathered friends! We provide care in the pet owner's home. This reduces stress put on the pet by allowing them to remain in their own environment and maintain their daily routine. I specialize in areas of pet sitting that include pets with behavioral problems, medical needs, and senior pets.

As a courtesy I will also water plants, bring in mail and newspapers, alternate lights, open and close draperies, and set alarm systems so that the home appears occupied - an important consideration when you are away for an extended period of time. As an additional service I also assist owners with medicating pets. I assist in pilling, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. I have a lot of knowledge, and hands on experience in treatment of Chronic Renal Failure and Diabetes in pets.

I worked at the North Shore Veterinary Clinic in Skokie, IL. In addition to my hands on experience at the clinic, I also completed Veterinary Assistant classes through the American Animal Hospital Association, and Cedar Valley College. Along with my studies I worked part time at the Animal Emergency and Critical Care Center in Northbrook, IL. I am certified in Pet CPR & First Aid. Over the years I have built a strong reputation and rapport with the local veterinary clinics. To further my education in the world of exotics I worked in the specialty department at Petsmart for two years.

As the sole proprietor, when you hire Shannon's Pet-Sitting you get "Shannon" every time. This allows me to maintain a personal relationship with my clients and their pets. To ensure your pets gets the quality time & personal care they deserves I don't overbook. I find that limiting my client intake allows for emergencies, special attention, and last-minute needs.

Shannon's Pet-Sitting is my profession, not a hobby. Therefore, my business is registered with the state, licensed, and insured. My insurance policy from Pet Sitters Associates, L.L.C. provides exemplary coverage, including an additional policy that goes beyond the bounds of normal bonding. My insurance protects me during medical emergencies, in case of key loss, and most importantly, covers YOUR property.

I enjoy working with multiple animal rescues and non-profit charitable organizations by participating in fundraisers and donation programs. I am also accredited by the Better Business Bureau and American Pet Association.

Shannon's Pet-Sitting has taken on the job of spoiling pets across Chicago's Northwest Suburbs by providing the ultimate in professional compassionate pet care. Let Shannon's Pet-Sitting love and care for your pets - I'm the next best thing to you!!
