Meet your pet sitter

Hi, I'm Shannon

I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Chatham, Illinois. I started Shannon's Trusted Pet Sitting because I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care — and every owner deserves genuine peace of mind while they're away.

My story

Growing up, our home was always full of animals. That early bond shaped everything about how I care for pets today — with patience, attention, and a whole lot of heart.

After years of informally helping neighbors and friends with their dogs and cats, I decided to make it official. I wanted to offer the kind of care I'd want for my own animals: consistent, communicative, and genuinely personal.

Every pet I care for gets my full attention. I take the time to learn their routines, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe and happy at home.

Genuine love for animals

Pets aren't just a job — they're family. I treat every animal in my care with the same warmth and respect I'd give my own.

Your trust, earned

I keep you informed with updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Comfort in their own space

Pets thrive in familiar surroundings. I come to your home so your pet can stay relaxed, on their routine, and stress-free.
