About: Looking for a trusted and affordable pet sitter, I’m your gal. I love animals and have taken care of pets in my community and work with local rescues. I can provide references from both rescue and previous customers. I’m a partially retired IT professional and now in the position to do what I love-take care of fur babies. I’m a very reliable and attentive sitter. I have had cats, dogs, lizards, frogs and everything in between for a pet. People that know me will say that my pets are the most spoiled in Roscommon county (lol) and they might be right.
About: My family and friends trust me to watch their animals for extended periods of time. I have experience in dog and cat sitting, as well as administering oral medications. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. I'm somewhat of a cat doula, after witnessing and aiding the birth of several litters. I love to take walks and be outdoors. Available every day! Summer allows flexible scheduling. Based on reserve rd, I can travel up to 10 minutes on a 4 wheeler to your place. I keep homes tidy and tread only where allowed. I'm willing to do small chores and adhere to any rules or rituals your pet is accustomed to. I'm a "pet first" kind of sitter, I won't provoke your little friend. I take time to establish trust and give them space.
About: I always had a dog growing up as a kid. They give me so much happiness and joy, in life. I use to work at a veterinary office as a assistant so I have a lot of experience with all types of animals. ****I am currently a full time healthcare employee**** I will accommodate best I can to your pet needs! I will make your pet feel at home💕 My dog loves to run so I have a big open yard for her to do all that in. I can play outside or inside with the animals. I do work full time as a healthcare employee. I work three 12 hour shifts. I will accommodate the best I can with your schedule. I will follow your pets schedule as provided when we do a meet and greet! I want what’s best for the animal and client. 💗

“Shawna was so kind and attentive to my girl Athena! She even watered some plants she noticed were dry!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care :) This was my first time using rover so I was nervous but it truly couldn't have worked out better!!”
