Stay at Home Dog & Cat Mom!

Pet care experience

I have always loved surrounding myself with every type of furbaby! My pet care responsibilities first started about 10 years ago in college when I would foster dogs during winter break. Since graduating, I have rescued furbabies (dogs and cats) of my own and spoiled them all rotten for the past six years. I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and provide them with a loving and nurturing environment. I am currently working part-time from home, granting me the flexibility to devote ample time to walks, playtime, and overall care. I live with my husband and we have a spacious fenced yard that provides ample room for our furry companions to run and play freely. We also have a designated cat room in the house that is completely closed off from where the dogs are kept; it is quiet with ample windows and toys for them to jump on and/or play with. I will prioritize the well-being and happiness of your furbaby as if he/she were one of my own. They will receive the affection, attention, and exercise necessary for their overall health and happiness. I will also send pictures and video updates as much as possible! Although I am a newly official Rover sitter/walker, I am not new to the pet care industry so please reach out if you are interested or have any additional questions.

Shannon was amazing! Made sure our kitty was played with and cared for while she visited. Would definitely use her again in the future to care for our animals!

Shannon provided great care for our dog all day. Fiona seemed happy in the pics and when she returned home. Shannon was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her and will use her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs as well as two laid back kitties. Please read below for our dog & cat descriptions. DOGS - Our dogs LOVE playing with other dogs in our yard and love to play with their toys in the living room. Your dog would be kept in a crate during the night (~between 10 PM and 7 AM). If they have other sleeping arrangements you would prefer, please message me directly and we will see if we can accommodate. We do have cats that love to roam around and get along with our dogs. If you have a dog that is used to being around cats and friendly with them and clearly tell us it is ok for our cats to be around your dog, we will let all of the animals coexist. Otherwise the cats will be kept in their own room that is separated from your dog completely. CATS - We have a large "cat room" in our home complete with a cat tower, large windows, a daybed, water, food and two litter boxes. Your cat will be kept in this room and will be checked on, played with, fed, etc. by me throughout the day. I will scoop his/her litter box daily and refill the water bowl to ensure they are completely taken care of.

Information Shannon L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, behaviors or accommodations needed that I can account for during visit or their stay.

A typical day

For the doggos - we have a large fenced yard with toys for fetch, area for running around with my dogs and lots of space for sun bathing or chilling in the shade if that is what your pup is into. There are also tons of dogs toys in the house as well as a spacious living room for your pup to sit back and relax. For the kitties - we have a cat tower, tons of toys, catnip, large windows (with window beds for bird and squirrel viewing) and a daybed in the room so they can be as crazy or zen as they would like to be.
