Taking care of Arlo was such a wonderful experience. It's already been three days since we left, and we still haven't gotten over how much we miss him. Shannon was amazing with us. She made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the very beginning. It was clear that she genuinely wanted us to feel at home during our 17-day stay. Arlo was incredible—a gentle, loving puppy with the sweetest eyes. We always felt like he was communicating with us, and at the same time, understanding ...

Arlo was incredible—a gentle, loving puppy with the sweetest eyes. We always felt like he was communicating with us, and at the same time, understanding everything we were saying. We would happily come back anytime. In fact, we didn't even want to leave. :) We couldn't recommend this lovely duo more highly! 🩷

Shannon and sweet little Arlo were a dream! Arlo is the cutest pup ever and will spend endless time playing and cuddling with you. On top of that, Shannon is so incredibly friendly and easy going. She made my time at her house and with Arlo such a breeze and joy, and was so communicative. She was even kind enough to let me & my mom stay an extra night when we had a flight cancellation. Just a gem of a person. I wouldn’t hesitate to take care of Arlo again. Also- such a fantastic location! One ... MoreShannon and sweet little Arlo were a dream!

Shannon's apartment is in such a wonderful location, just across the road from the beach and a short walk to the local shops and cafés. Communication with Shannon was really easy and efficient before and during the stay. She left me a clear sheet of instructions with Arlo's puppy schedule and everything one needed to know about his routine. Arlo was such a cutie. He loves attention and eagerly goes up to every person and dog on his walks. He's a high energy little ball of fur when he's out or ...

Communication with Shannon was really easy and efficient before and during the stay. She left me a clear sheet of instructions with Arlo's puppy schedule and everything one needed to know about his routine. Arlo was such a cutie. He loves attention and eagerly goes up to every person and dog on his walks. He's a high energy little ball of fur when he's out or during play times. He is laser focused when training and so smart. Being a pup, little potty accidents happened and he's entering nipping phase, exploring the world around him with his mouth, so it was important to be vigilant. He was overall very calm during nap times and settled quickly. A delight!
