“Shannon did a wonderful job taking care of our very jumpy/high energy dog. Shannon had insightful questions to make sure our dog was getting the best care. She sent us pictures to help calm our nerves as this was our first time using Rover and took our dog on walks. We appreciated her commitment and willingness to help us out on short notice and hope she will help us again!”


“Emma was a delightful sitter for Benny and June! Both pups were so well behaved upon my return and I very much appreciate the communication I received while away. Thank you!!!”

“Annette is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend her. She is trustworthy, communicative, and kind and shows a great love and passion for taking care of animals!”


About: I am experienced in pet care! I have been around animals my entire life, and have cared for many. I love making sure they are not only properly taken care of, but also being given the chance to live their best lives! I am currently a student at UWSP, so my weekdays tend to be fairly busy, but I have plenty of breaks in between for check ins and walks. I am also able to care for pets while multitasking during long nights studying. My personal pets are always a priority to me. I make sure they are fed proper amounts, have a clean space to live and use the bathroom, and most importantly I make prioritize giving them love and affection. While more active animals, I tend to give them plenty of opportunities for exercise, utilizing the large space by my apartment complex. I am always finding creative ways to enrich my animals!
