I admit was very hesitant to let a stranger in my house to care for my cat. I did a full check into Shannon including references. All her references gave glowing reports & her credentials were outstanding. She is reliable, responsible and very good with my temperamental cat. I especially like how she texts me periodic reports on how Callie is doing, including adorable pictures.
You don't realize how much you rely on somebody until you have a real emergency. I got the call that my husband was in a bad car accident out of state while traveling on business. He was in ICU & I had to fly immediately to be with him. One of my first calls was to Shannon. She was there for us with no notice to jump in & help with Callie for as long as it took for us to come home.
Another time we left town & the cleaning people came the same day. Callie is allowed outdoors when we are home. Apparently she had given the cleaning people kitten eyes & they allowed her outside not knowing we were not returning home. Shannon arrived to care for her & she greeted her in the driveway! This gave Shannon a heart attack knowing this was not the norm but she was able to get Callie to come in the house with her. If Callie hadn't been comfortable or known her she would have rather remained outside. Shannon immediately called me to make sure everything was okay & see if I knew Callie was out.
I'd highly recommend Shannon. She has our cat?s best interest at heart & has been there for us in emergency situations.
