The Office


Owner of Loving Paws & House Sitting

Hello, my name is Amy Shannon and I am the owner and operator of Loving Paws & House Sitting Canada Inc which I established in 2005 as Ottawa’s first “all-inclusive” Professional Pet Care Company. Today we continue to expand to various cities across Ontario which speaks volume to our professionalism, quality care, dedication, and outstanding team!

Prior to founding Loving Paws I obtained an honours diploma in Animal Health Sciences. While working as a Veterinary Technician I greatly valued a high quality of standard regarding my animal health skills; I took many courses covering topics such as first aid, CPR, Zoonotic immunization, dental care, behaviour, nutrition, orthopedics, and rehabilitative care.

I have had a passion and love for animals ever since I was a little girl. While I had intended to pursue my education in Veterinary medicine, I decided instead to work more closely with Pets and pet parents by providing professional services to pet parents and tender loving care to your pets. I strongly believe in the special bond between a pet and pet parents, and nurturing this bond has become the central force motivating me for many years and today as the founder of Loving Paws & House Sitting.

As a business owner, I am always seeking opportunities to increase my knowledge with the goal of ensuring our heartfelt team provides outstanding care to your pets and to ensure the success of Loving Paws & House Sitting as a professional pet care provider for decades to come!

Personally, my spouse and I share our home with 3 wonderful dogs: Camelot, Bella, and Dallas. And 4 horses: Solo, Diego, Steele, and Duncan. Who all provide us with joy and unconditional love. We only hope we give them as much in return as they give us!

With all my passion and love for animals and my professional business skills, I would greatly welcome the opportunity to assist you in the care of your pets!
