"We have been fortunate to have Shannon care for our pets over the last 10 years and anticipate continuing this great partnership. In the past Shannon lovingly cared for our bird, bunny, and red and white setter. She is now sitting for our new red and white setter puppy, Piper. Shannon has expertise in caring for pets to ensure that they are safe and well cared for in their home environment. We have ease of mind when we travel or are away for any reason. Without hesitation we would recommend Shannon's Ark for any pet owner." Craig and Joyce, Malvern

"Shannon has been our pet sitter now for over 5 years. We have trusted her with our fur children without hesitation. She has taken care of our elderly dog with medical needs before he passed and now cares for our 2 boxers regularly. Shannon is extremely reliable and trustworthy. We have traveled extensively over the past 5 years and know that Shannon will give our dogs the utmost care. As a previous vet tech there is no situation that she's unable to handle. We are fortunate to have her as our pet sitter and an extension of our family. We love seeing pictures of her son playing with our dogs knowing they are getting extra TLC while we are away." Shanin, Phoenixville

"I am mom to a 5 1/2 year old Pitty/Boxer mix who is special needs and has been since her adoption from Philly's SPCA. Shannon has been her sitter for 4 years and I am very grateful, we hit the lottery with Shannon, she is professional, reliable, observant, caring, and very personable. I highly recommend her services. You won't have any regrets." Bonnie, Malvern

"Shannon has been tending to my pets for over four years. Initially, she was pet sitting and dog walking for my two feisty terriers on an as-needed basis. She has always been punctual and professional in her treatment of my 'furry children'. Most recently, she has been assisting me with one of my cats, who has chronic kidney failure, and requires an infusion of fluids a few times each week. She has been an enormous help to me because this particular cat would amazingly develop at least six additional legs when I tried to infuse him by myself. However, with assistance from Shannon, my kitty has figured out that he does not need extra legs to fight being infused. With Shannon helping me, my cat is calm and tolerates his fluid infusion peacefully and quietly. Shannon works her 'cat whisperer' magic on him and he sits unruffled for the few minutes it takes for him to receive his fluids. When you think of all of the qualities you would want in a pet sitter, a dog walker, a helper who is a veterinary trained professional, you would find that you are describing Shannon. When the furry children need extra care, Shannon is there!" Rita, Phoenixville

"We cannot rave about Shannon's Ark Pet Sitting Service enough! We have relied on her for vacation coverage for our dog and bird, as well as occasional house sitting since 2010. She is highly reliable and has earned our absolute trust. We once suffered a basement flood from a broken pipe while away on a cruise. She promptly identified the problem and obtained a plumber to control the leak even before she was able to contact us, limiting the water damage and subsequent expense. Our pets are always well cared for, and greet her enthusiastically. We recommend Shannon's Ark without reservation." Bob and Pat, Spring City

"I have been working with Shannon for three years now and I would not trust my cats with anyone else. She is a competent professional whom I trust completely with my animals and my house. She is completely dependable and truly cares about the animals with whom she deals. Shannon is my peace of mind when I am away because I know my cats are being well taken care of and loved!" Jody, Exton

"Shannon is an amazing pet caregiver. She has taken care of my three dogs, five cats, and pet diapered duck for a week of live-in care. When I returned home, everyone was happy and healthy including Winkie, the duck. Shannon definitely gets five stars!!!" Rosie, Malvern

"I've entrusted Teddy, our four-legged member of our family that we love deeply to Shannon for many years. Shannon is trustworthy, reliable, and someone who I highly recommend. Shannon has helped us out in a pinch many times, and Teddy did very well. We wouldn't trust our little guy to just anyone!" Brenda, Phoenixville

"We have used Shannon's Ark Pet Sitting since moving to this area approximately three years ago. During that time we have been very please with the services we used (feeding cats, care of litter pans, visually seeing each cat each day, as well as bringing in our mail and watering plants). We always had a written note letting us know how things went during our time away. We have found that requests for pet sitting are met in a fast, responsive manner. We have no reservations in recommending Shannon's Ark to others." Maria, Collegeville

"For the past two and a half years, Shannon has cared for my two cats when I'm away. She has been wonderful for them. In addition to being successful in giving both of them medications, she has given them affection. She keeps the cat areas neat and tidy. Moreover, she is an honest person. I look forward to having her help care for any of my pets for years to come. " Ruth, West Chester

"We have been able to rely on Shannon to provide dependable and extremely loving care for our family member, Bear the Newfoundland. Prior to Bear, we had Paddington an aging Newfoundland, who was given the best care by Shannon. We have always been able to leave our dogs knowing that they are in very capable and loving hands. The dogs have always loved Shannon and looked forward to her visits, as have we." Tom and Sandy, West Chester

"Shannon does a better job of watching my dog than my family members do. She is responsible, reliable, knowledgeable about animal behavior, and knows how to handle emergencies. Although Shannon met my dog prior to me going away the first time, he was frightened when she arrived. She knew what to do to make him comfortable, and within a short time he came and greeted her. While I was on a recent vacation, she called to say that my dog had become lame. She had already checked his leg and made a vet appointment, but she wanted to make sure it was okay to take him to the vet. After she received my permission, she took him to the vet and reported back to me what transpired at the visit. Upon my return, I found the usual summary about my dog’s behavior while I was away, as well as a progress note about his leg and a written explanation of the possible diagnoses according to my vet. All in all, she provided me with peace of mind during a stressful situation." Loren, Media

"Shannon is a superb pet sitter. She is dependable, kind and caring, and keeps our house neat and tidy for our return. Best of all, our dog loves her!" Stephanie, Malvern

"We have been very fortunate to find a reliable caretaker, Shannon, for our aging Labrador Retriever, Samantha, when we go away during the summer season. Shannon’s love for animals is shown in the enthusiasm and excitement she displays when she sees "Sam". Sam loves her walks with Shannon! Shannon has also proven to be extremely knowledgeable when medical emergencies arise and has used good judgment on getting our dog to the vet when needed. Shannon has always been available to assist us even when we call at the last minute for our pet-sitting needs. We, along with Sam, look forward to her ongoing care." Bob and Linda, Malvern

"Shannon has been taking care of my two cats during the past two years when I have been away from home. Since both cats HATE going anywhere in a car and HATE being boarded at a kennel, Shannon has been the perfect solution. She is totally responsible, reliable, and extremely conscientious. I trust her completely to make sure that the cats are well taken care of, are fed, and that their litter is clean. It is also a plus to have her coming into my house to check that things are okay and an added bonus is that the mail and newspaper are brought inside. In other words, she is great!" Kristi, Paoli

"We feel very lucky to have Shannon stay with our dog, Millie, while we are away. Millie is a very sensitive dog - Shannon has been staying with her for several years now, and we are very grateful that Millie can stay in her home and be so well taken care of. Shannon is very knowledgeable and reliable. We are free to enjoy our vacation knowing that Shannon is taking good care of both Millie and our house while we are away." Arlene and Ben, Malvern
