About: As the mom of Nola, my senior English Mastiff, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I bring patience, a gentle approach, and close attention to the little things that help pets feel comfortable. Caring for Nola has given me hands-on experience with senior dog care, giving oral medications, preparing meals for special feeding needs, and following consistent routines. I also understand that some pets need extra reassurance, especially during thunderstorms or when their family is away. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, follow your care instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages. My goal is for your baby to feel safe and loved, and for you to feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits around your pet’s usual routine. Caring for my senior dog, Nola, is already part of my everyday life, so I understand the importance of consistent meals, potty breaks, medication schedules, and companionship. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs before booking to make sure I can give them the time and attention they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s familiar routine and your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, medications, and any special needs. I take a gentle, patient approach and give pets time to feel comfortable with me. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash for walks, and stay mindful of anything your pet could get into. For cats, I’m especially careful around outside doors and respectful of their need for space. Before booking, I’d like to learn about your pet’s temperament, habits, emergency contacts, and veterinarian. I’ll respect your home, send photos and updates, and contact you promptly if anything seems unusual.

If you choose for me to watch your pet, I’ll treat them as if they were mine and give them all the love you would! My availability is very flexible because I only work 20 hours a week at work. I’m good at time management especially with animals because of my cat. I’m home most of the day. I have an unfenced yard, but I‘ll be able to take your dogs out and on walks frequently. I have a roommate who also uses Rover so she’s able to watch any pets if I’m out. I have a cat who gets along with all animals as well.

I understand the importance of routine & mental stimulation! I spoil my fur children & understand wanting to keep yours happy while you’re away, but also able to trust that they’re safe! I own a dog that is overcoming his reactivity & that has required a lot of training & positive reinforcement work from myself in the presence of triggers—so I understand the difference in reactivity/anxiety vs aggression. I work full time Fridays through Mondays currently, but I have full availability during the week on Tuesdays through Thursdays. I don’t mind early mornings or late nights I would never leave someone’s pet unattended while under my care. I like for pets to have my full attention when I’m there.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own family dog as well as helping neighbors. I have also worked with dogs at my grandfather’s vet clinic since I was 15. Currently, I care for my own Goldendoodle. I just started nursing school in January, so my schedule isn’t as flexible as it used to be but I still love caring for pets whenever I can! Reoccurring walks are a little harder to commit to just because of school. I live in a gated community on the water and have four friendly dogs at home. I also have three spare crates available for guests if needed. Since I’m subscribed to BarkBox, we have plenty of toys but you’re always welcome to bring your own for the stay! I am committed to caring for your pets with the same love and attention as my own.

About: I started pet-sitting at ten with my twin, quickly becoming the neighborhood’s go-to for pets, plants, and house care. I love checking in, feeding, walking, and playing with animals. As a recent college graduate missing my flatcoat Apollo, I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, especially hunting breeds. I work full-time, but I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends. I am very active and would love to take your dog on a walk or outside. Small shared yard at apartment. Can hang out at home and do work with your furry friend or I can take them to the nearby park.

“We had a very, very last minute request but shawna was able to come through for us and Luna and went above and beyond. We really appreciate everything she did and I don’t think Luna missed us one bit because of her”
