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.
Our pet business journey began when we struggled to find a pet sitter for our dogs who truly understood the needs of anxious and reactive dogs. We saw firsthand how limited options were for pets who required extra patience and specialized care. That’s why we created A&S Pet Care: to provide the compassionate, personalized care that all pets deserve.
We have been so fortunate to meet some incredible pet caregivers along the way..learn more about them below!

LUNA
Luna became part of our family in 2018 and forever changed our lives. She opened our hearts and minds to the challenges that anxious and reactive dogs face, teaching us invaluable lessons in patience, understanding, and advocacy.
Through her journey, we’ve learned the importance of compassionate care and standing up for dogs like her who need extra support.

NOVA
In 2020, we welcomed Nova into our pack—a resilient tripod dog who has been our greatest teacher in understanding and caring for specially-abled pets.
Through caring for Nova, we have learned the incredible adaptability of animals, the importance of advocating for their unique needs, and the joy that comes from giving a specially-abled pet a loving home.
