Why trust me as your guide to the highly sensitive pet?

Hi. I’m Shannon. I am a highly sensitive person (HSP). And I have decades of experience caring for multiple species of highly sensitive pets (HSP).
Happily, my HSPets are excellent teachers. 🙂
They have taught me a TON about how they feel, what they want and need and also the unique value they bring to the world by being the way they are.
I am delighted to share what I have learned with you in this highly sensitive pet help guide.
