Shannon has been working with animals professionally for over 20 years and is the founder of Woof Walkers, a highly rated and beloved pet care company originally launched in Los Angeles. What began as a one-woman operation in 2010 quickly grew into one of the most trusted names in dog walking and pet sitting on the Westside of LA—thanks to Shannon’s deep commitment to quality care, personal connection, and community values.
After more than a decade of running Woof Walkers in California, Shannon has returned to her roots on Long Island to bring the same heart, standards, and sunshine to Northport and beyond. She’s passionate about building a strong local team and offering boutique-level service that puts pets (and their people) first.
Outside of work, Shannon enjoys spending time with her wife Kat, their two daughters, Skye and Raine, and their two sweet kitties, Chaplin and Willow.
Originally from a small town near Rochester, NY, Kat has had a lifelong connection with animals. From a young age, she could be found out on the trails, exploring nature with her family and caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs to hamsters and everything in between. She holds a B.A. in Behavioral Studies and a California State Cosmetology License, and while she still enjoys her work as a stylist, her heart is truly with the animals.
Kat has been part of Woof Walkers since the very beginning and continues to bring her love, warmth, and calm energy to every pet she meets. Now back in New York, she’s excited to help grow the Woof Walkers community on Long Island, offering the same care and connection that made the LA branch such a success.
When she’s not walking pups or helping run the business, Kat loves hiking, skiing, beach days, and cooking delicious vegan meals for her wife Shannon and their two daughters, Skye and Raine.
Monique comes to us with a diverse background of corporate structure, hospitality, consulting and management, but most importantly she comes to Woof Walkers with knowledge and a passion for animals. Starting out as a dog walker and sitter on the Westside, she went on to enjoy all aspects of the industry from being a certified animal behaviorist and trainer, to managing multiple pet resorts and dog daycares. Fast forward to today, she happily contributes her expertise to ensure your pets are happy and healthy while in our care. In her downtime, you can find Monique volunteering at Pug Nation Los Angeles, or watching Pit Bulls and Parolees at home with her two dogs Sunshine and Lyra 🙂
