Alex & Shannon

Pet Sitters. Dog Parents. Life Partners.

Hi there! We’re Alex and Shannon, a pet-loving duo whose bond is built on a shared passion for animals. From childhood, we’ve always had furry companions by our sides, but our love for animals extended into our relationship when we adopted our first dog together, Luna, in 2018. Luna, with her anxiety and reactivity, has taught us so much about patience, care, and the importance of advocating for rescue dogs. Then, in 2020, our pack grew with our adoption of Nova, our resilient tripod. Nova has been our greatest teacher when it comes to caring for specially-abled pets.

Together, we’re not just partners in life, but also partners in making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.

We can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the same love we give our own!
