We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shannon. She is super careful in evaluating each dog and treats your furbaby like her own. Gator is a high energy Westie puppy who absolutely loves "Aunt Shannon"! Every time he gets in the car he's sure he's going for a visit! If you are fortunate enough to become a client, you won't be disappointed!!
Cheryl G. July 2022
We have been clients of Shannon's on a regular, weekly basis, for several years. Shannon is always attentive which means your dog gets plenty of playtime, nap time in a comfy area of the house, and interaction with Shannon. She becomes family to your dog. She sends you pics of your pet playing with friends. You can rest assured that your dog is in a safe, worry-free, secure, and loving home. We LOVE Shannon! She is exactly what most pet owners look for in a caregiver - care just like at home.

We are so thankful to have found Shannon and Amelia Island Dog Resort. We have left Shiner with her for doggie day care and for longer trips up to 2 weeks. I have no worries at all leaving Shiner with Shannon. All the dogs are carefully screened for compatibility. Shiner is a dog that requires a lot of attention and love; Shannon provides all of that and more. Shiner also has a very sensitive stomach and Shannon is very careful in administering Shiner only her special food and medication. I have never experienced this type of specialized doggie care. We feel very blessed. And the best part, Shiner loves her doggie mates and Shannon at Amelia Island Dog Resort.

Boy did we luck out finding Shannon. Our energetic Goldendoodle, Addy, loves playing with Shannon and friends at doggie daycare. Addy gets plenty of playtime, snacks and breaks and I love to get updates and photos throughout the day. Shannon recently kept Addy for a few overnight stays and we felt completely comfortable knowing Addy was in the best hands! Shannon is the best.

Shannon is absolutely amazing!!! She takes phenomenal care of Barley, our energetic lab mix, and treats him as if he was her own baby!!! The pups always have adequate play and rest time, and they even have the luxury of resting on the comfy couches!! Barley has stayed overnight as well as frequently attends daycare and, though we hate being apart from him, we know Shannon is loving him just as we would! I highly recommend Shannon!!!!

When planning a trip to a resort, most people get referrals/references to ensure a great and safe vacation. I was referred by a friend who introduced us to Amelia Island Dog Resort. When I brought Murphy to meet Shannon, I was worried he would not pass the interview. Looking at the big picture, Shannon assesses each precious pooch to ensure their safety and well being. So if my dog was unable to attend the Resort, I knew that he would need to work on his manners and learn to play well with others. Luckily, Mr. Murphy has been enjoying Shannon, Zoey and Gary for almost two years. We are always jealous when Murph greets them with more love and licks than he does us!

Shannon is absolutely wonderful! I have a 10 month old terrier mix who is full of energy, and he always has a wonderful time visiting the resort. Shannon is great at determining which dogs will play well together and tending to their individual personalities and needs. I have used her services for overnight stays as well as daycare, and I have never been disappointed or worried in the slightest. She also sends frequent updates and pictures, which I love! My pup has come to recognize the resort and gets excited as soon as we pull in the driveway!
Kelley S. Oct 2016
Words cannot possibly describe the gratitude and happiness I feel regarding the care and compassion my Bennie received from his stay with Shannon and Gary! We had never left him before but I just knew based on how loving they both are that Bennie would be well cared for. Our experience was beyond our expectations! Videos and captioned pictures sent by Shannon throughout the days Ben stayed with her were a delight and constant affirmation of what is Shannon's natural gift to care for and nurture the dogs that are left in her trust! Bennie made friends and was happy to see us but more importantly happy to have stayed and played with all his new friends! Thank you, just seems inadequate!
Margaret L. Sep 2016
T-Bone loves staying at Shannon's! Doesn't miss us for a minute which is great! She and her husband give him lots of love, attention and great care!
Ellen S. Sep 2016
Shannon was very patient and understanding with my two recently adopted toy poodles. They can be a "handful" at times, but Shannon managed them just fine.
Sally S. Aug 2016
Shannon is a blessing to our family, and we appreciate the peace of mind! She maintains her home and garden areas beautifully, and is clearly a blessing to her neighborhood!
Randi L. Mar 2016
I would not leave my fur babies with anyone but Mrs. Shannon! They always have a great time! She loves our senior pups and they get just the right amount of attention. My babies are older, and she makes sure all of their medical needs are taken care of, and for that we love her! We highly, highly, highly recommend her - you will NOT be disappointed!
Gail C. Mar 2016
Shannon was awesome with our Fred. He had a great time. She sends updates and videos while you are away. Your dog will not get better care.
Melinda and Jack F. Feb 2016
Cate had a great time with Shannon. We definitely will be sending Cate again!
Sal S. Feb 2016
Another awesome Vacay with Shannon! Thank you so much!
Jerry K. Dec 2015
Shannon did an outstanding job with our Ferdie!! She provided updates multiple times per day including pictures of our dog playing with hers & one other she was dog sitting. Ferdie was at easy with her and actually we were concerned he might want to stay a while longer. Overall we were very satisfied and would recommend her to others.
Paulita L. Dec 2015
As always, we know that our pup is loved and well cared for when he is with Shannon. What more can anyone ask?
Mary C. Dec 2015
Our puppy is 8 months old. Shannon sent us text messages as well as photos and videos of Bella playing. We were assured that Bella was happy and comfortable. Shannon is a true professional and easy to work with. We will not hesitate to use her again!
Sylvia B. Nov 2015
Shannon and her husband, Gary, are fantastic! Our Buddy loves to go on vacation with them. It is so wonderful to know he is so well cared for and loved. He is always a very happy dog when we pick him up.
Patti J. Nov 2015
As always ... our dogs "vacation" went as well as ours. Shannon is fantastic and I am thankful we have her to watch Peaches or we would never go anywhere!
Dotti S. Nov 2015
We felt so comfortable leaving our Labs with Shannon. We know they were well cared for and will absolutely leave them with her again!
Sabrina C. Nov 2015
Shannon takes great care of my dog, Roman. He loves going to daycare at her house. I feel comfortable sending him because there are a limited number of dogs at any time, and Shannon does a great job of monitoring and matching personalities so that all dogs are happy and safe.
Peggy A. Nov 2015
Merlot is always excited to visit with Shannon, Zoey and all her different guests. Never a dull moment! She sends us pictures and videos of Merlot playing, lizard watching, even sleeping in her favorite chair.
Thank you for taking such good care of her and I know that you treat her as if she were your own.
Carl & Wendy H. Nov 2015
Shannon is amazing!! She really tailors her care to each of our dogs' needs and personalities.
We have a 70 pound Pit Bull who is very laid back and social and our other dog is a 3 pound Chihuahua who is a bit shy and nervous. Shannon is always able to adjust their care and routine to make them each feel secure and comfortable. It really takes a caring person to read dogs like that and care enough to honor their differences when they stay with her and we truly appreciate it. We can't say enough great things about Shannon. We never worry when our dogs are under her care. We can relax and know that they are each enjoying their stay with her.
Beth J. Sep 2015
I got daily updates with pictures from Shannon with Alice's antics and day. I appreciated the updates it made me feel as if she was visiting a friend. I would recommend Shannon to my friends looking for dog care.
Randi L. Sep 2015
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Mrs. Shannon! I trust her with my fur babies more than I do most of my family members. My babies are older dogs that require medication. She is so attentive to their needs, and makes sure they have their medications daily. She is also so wonderful with daily updates and pictures! Mrs. Shannon is only half her team........ Mrs. Zoey is the other half. My boys love them some Mrs. Zoey! She shows them the ropes and leads the back yard excursions :-) I highly recommend Mrs. Shannon especially if you want your babies to feel comfortable, and receive the care that they need while you are away from them.
Jay & Beth F. Aug 2015
Bryan had a great stay! Shannon is awesome!!! We can leave our dog and know he is being cared for by a loving, caring animal lover!
Pam L. Jul 2015
Shannon is great! I love the photo updates and Roxy loves all the attention.
Beth D. May 2015
We cannot say enough good things about Shannon. We had an unexpected death in the family over the holiday weekend and had to get out of town immediately. Despite being fully booked, Shannon understood our predicament and took our 2 boys. She is the best!!!!!!
Lisa M. Mar 2015
We've stopped counting how many times Cody has stayed at Shannon's. It's his second home. He loves it there!! And, we love getting the pictures and videos of him. He has such a good time!!
Nora H. Feb 2015
Mickey had a fabulous stay with Shannon which meant that we had a fabulous vacation!! He was comfortable, active and well loved. Shannon knows her "guests" very well and observes them very carefully. The communication was awesome...daily updates, photos and videos. We highly recommend Shannon for doggie daycare and overnights.
Sylvie & Dooley B. Nov 2014
We just picked up Buddy after 3 overnights with Shannon, and he is one happy dog. This is the first time we have been away from him for this long, and he seemed to love it. Shannon was wonderful and kept us posted on how he was doing each day. We highly recommend Shannon to anyone who loves their pet and wants to be sure they are lovingly cared for. We are so glad we found Shannon!
Pam L. Oct 2014
Shannon is wonderful - no worries about Roxy while we are away!!
Linda L. Sep 2014
Shannon is so great. We left our little Chihuahua mix dogs with her (both rescues). The dogs were happy when we left and happy when they came back. I thought one of them was going to leave us to stay with her. I highly recommend her. She is very detail oriented and very much in tune with the dogs including intuitive to the one dog who has some anxiety issues. She does a great job, and I would leave them there again any time. You can tell she understands the psyche of dogs I cannot say enough good things about her and her hubby, Gary, who little Pico took to right away!
Pam L. Sep 2014
Shannon is the best. Roxy gets overly excited whenever we get near Shannon's neighborhood.
Lisa B. Aug 2014
Our fur baby had his 2nd stay with Shannon recently. He just loves her! He was so excited when we got to her house because he knew how much fun he was going to have. This is MUCH better than going to a kennel. We highly recommend Shannon!
Janet & Nick C. Aug 2014
Shannon is the best! We were gone for over 2 weeks and had no worries because we knew our pup was well cared for. Shannon truly cares for her as if she were her own. We looked forward to the photo and text updates every day! Between watching squirrels (our dogs favorite thing!) playing catch and going for walks our dog is a happy girl. Many thanks for taking such wonderful care!!!!!
Debra A. Jul 2014
Shannon was awesome with my pup, Maxie! She had taken every step to make him feel comfortable! She has a great backyard for fur babies to run around in- my dog has a ton of energy! We will definitely be visiting with Shannon again and again!!!
Dawn G. Jul 2014
Shannon is a fabulous, animal-loving caretaker. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our communications and her actions. Her home is inviting, clean and accommodating. She is equipped to manage several dogs' individual needs whether they are together or separated. The back yard is safe and big enough for running and goofing off. Her dog seems to love the fact that they have regular visitors, and excitedly shows the visitor the ropes. Shannon takes her responsibility seriously and, again, that is evident in all she says and does, and in her policy is to not leave her home if she is taking care of someone's dog. I received regular pictures and videos of my dog playing, having fun, and even resting (from play exhaustion :) I am very grateful to Shannon and glad we have found her. No doubt my dog will be excitedly wiggle-wagging the next time we pull up in Shannon's driveway!
Tracey V. Mar 2014
After 4 years of taking "George" with us on every vacation or just staying home, I decided to seek out a situation where we could feel secure about leaving our beloved Greyhound behind. This past weekend we did a trial run with Shannon. From our "meet and greet" to our picking him up I felt confident that this would work out. I received many texts as well as a video during his stay. It was clear... he didn't miss us...he had a ball! I am now totally at ease. Shannon was wonderfully attentive and informative. She is a dog person. I am thrilled that I found her!!! YEA!! We are now free to move about the country!!!
Jen C. Dec 2013
We left our two pups (a two-year old lab and a ten-year old schnauzer) with Shannon while we were vacationing on Amelia Island. We could not have been happier with the love and care she gave our dogs!
Shannon is a wonderful person, a loving dog-owner and I would give her ten stars if possible. This was the first time we have ever picked up our dogs and had them seem happier and healthier than we left them. We will definitely entrust her with our dogs' care the next time we are on Amelia Island, she rocks! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shannon. She is super careful in evaluating each dog and treats your furbaby like her own.
