About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life — three of them, all with different personalities and needs — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I originally went to school for veterinary medicine before changing my major, but that never changed the love I have for furry friends. Walking dogs is peaceful and therapeutic for me, and I’m excited to finally turn this into a hobby and a service I can share with others. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simple companionship. I’m able to adjust easily to each pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. My goal is always to match the rhythm they’re used to and give them the same level of care and comfort they receive with you. My home has a screened lanai with a pool that is not fenced in, and I also have stairs inside the house. The main areas are tile flooring, with carpeted bedrooms for comfort. I keep fresh water bowls easily accessible throughout the home since I have dogs of my own. I’m always mindful of each pet’s safety and make sure the environment matches their needs, energy level, and mobility.
About: I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and a plethora of other pets my entire life. From paws and claws to fins and feathers, I’ve learned that every animal communicates differently. My goal is to earn their trust, keep their routines consistent, and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for until you’re home. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Currently our pup asks for a walk every couple of hours, so dog walking is a central theme to most of my days. Drop in walks and feedings for your pups throughout the day are a seamless addition to our daily rhythm. At home, our pets play a central role in our daily schedule. Do they know how to read clocks? Our pets all have their own natural rhythms. From our fluffy (big-backed?) cat that gets anxious if the food bowl gets even close to empty, to our year old cat that can’t be bothered to even pretend she noticed you put out food, to our dog who just ‘knows’ he’s getting fed and waits patiently: all our pets have different needs and if we are willing to stay patient and curious, they’ll tell you how they feel cared for. We’ve made room in our home for pets that need more care than may be normal: we accommodate dietary restrictions, medication dependency, and physical limitations. I bring this same level of care and attention to clients wishes and their pets needs.
About: I've been caring for friends and family pets for 5 years now. I have experience with dogs and cats mainly and some small pets like hamsters, gerbils and fish.

Although it's not fenced, I do have a spacious home and can allow them outside, leashed so they can enjoy some sun and physical activity. I can also board dogs for pet owners who need that option as well.

About: My love for animals began at an early age. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was always surrounded by beloved family pets, especially dogs of many different sizes and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to respect each pet’s unique personality, recognize their boundaries, and earn their trust. Today, I’m the proud pet parent of two adorable cats, and I bring the same patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every dog and cat in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the kindness and responsibility I would want for my own.

I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions while respecting your pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I never force an interaction if an animal needs time to feel comfortable and build trust.
About: For about a year and a half I volunteered at a cat rescue, working extensively with the cats to socialize them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lithia
I feel so lucky to have found Shannon. We booked several drop-in visits for our 2 Great Danes while we went on a short trip. I felt like Shannon cared for our pups like they were her own. It was very comforting to know they were in such great hands while we were away.

This was my first time using the Rover app and we couldn’t have been happier with Natalie! She took so much time and care with our dog, sent lots of pics and updates, and kept him safe and happy while we were away. Definitely hope to book Natalie again in the future!
