What our Clients Say

Cat Feeding | Pukekohe

Caring and reliable person, went beyond what we expected and would definitely use her services again.

Robyn

Millie & Morrison's Mum

Dog Sitting | Paerata

Shannon is literally the best! My dogs absolutely lover her! She's so helpful and kind! She's help raise my two little cavoodles from both 8 weeks old; helps potty train, does lunch time with them! I feel so safe my pups being around her.

Megan

Jessie & Willow's Mum

Overnight Stay | Whatawhata

We had the absolute privilege of Shannon coming to house sit our lifestyle property and look after our animals, two kittens and one dog. The kittens we had only had for a few weeks and they had been terribly ill, so I was anxious about leaving them, and my incredibly needy dog who needed daily medication and wow, Shannon was incredible! She sent us daily updates and photos and all the animals fell in love with her! There is no one I would trust more outside of our family and I hope she will come back again next time we go away! You will not find anyone better to look after your home and fur babies, I can not recommend her enough.

Karin

Baz, Neo and Felix's Mum

Cat feeding | Auranga

I was a bit nervous about having a stranger visit my house while I'm away but Shannon has been fantastic. It is such a relief to have someone reliable to come look after my cats while I'm away for work. Shannon really cares and even my shy boy has warmed up to her. No hesitation booking her again.

Brendan

Leo, Keeva, Mr. Ford and Meredith's Dad

Cat feeding | Papakura

I felt really reasured with Shannon's care of my cat Fluffy while I was in Melbourne. The little video clips of her visits puts my mind at ease that Fluff was getting not just food in a bowl but some loving company aswell.

Bryce

Fluffy's Dad

Cat feeding | Papakura

First time I have left my cat Shadow overnight and I am so pleased to have found Shannon. She is caring, friendly and loves animals. Great communication and professional. I can now look forward to more stays away knowing my cat will be well looked after.
