Shannon was terrific with my small dog. He stayed in her care for 4 nights and days. He normally is not that playful but he played with one of her big dogs. Shannon made sure he ate and drank enough water. He had luxury sleeping areas. Shannon is very knowledgeable and caring for dogs. She has a big secure yard for the dogs and inside is all set up for the dogs as well. My dog came home happy and not stressed.
