Pet care experience

Pets are paw-some! 😊🐱 🐶🐰🦄🌈❤️

🐾 Red Cross First Aid/CPR certified for 🐶s and 🐱🐾 *Update: As soon as you know the dates you’d like me and your pet baby to hang out please let me know so I can schedule ahead of time😊 I can take some last minute calls but it’s easier to reserve dates ahead of time❤️ Thanks so much! Picture this: You have a trip coming up or just want to go on a PET-NERNITY leave (pun intended) and need someone or somewhere to drop your beloved pet off. You asked your friends and family, but they’re busy as well. A kennel is an option, but you know… diseases. Stating that I love pets would be a huge understatement. I currently have a pet cat named Buddy. I also have pets at my workplace! We have two guinea pigs and a rabbit the students and I spoil and pamper.I grew up with a Black Labrador Retriever, three Akitas, and a Husky. My sister has a poodle, my friends have a litter of poodles, and I’ve watched my friend’s dogs and cats! I will care for your fur babies like my very own. I truly believe that pets are an extension of the family and should be treated as such. During your absence, I can guarantee that you will receive constant updates through well-taken photos and videos throughout my stay. I typically care for pets in the clients’ homes. This can be visits or overnighters. I go out of my way to keep the home clean, respect space, and leave things in place while looking after your pet. Animals naturally gravitate towards me. I don't force and earn the trust of the animal(s) I'm caring for. As a full time pre-k teacher in Bethesda with pets in the classroom as well as my own cat at home , pet care is a part of my daily routine. Wherever I’m taking care of a pet, I work it into my schedule.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I usually care for pets in my client’s home as I’ve found animals are most comfortable and best in their environment. I will have a lot of questions for you and I welcome questions as well! Communication is a huge part of the safety of your fur baby!

Shamaurie is the absolute best. He is our go-to for our pup and loves him as much as we do. We are very grateful for Shamaurie in our lives!

Shamaurie took excellent care of our small dog and house while we were on a trip to New Orleans.

Shamaurie is great with watching over and giving Sophie love. Sophie has her quirks and Shamaurie knows how to work with them :) I always know Sophie is in great hands with Shamaurie!

Schedule

I work full time, however, I will stay with your pet and take care of their needs. I will still go to work daily but usually can be flexible ( especially on weekends) and accommodate your pet. If they need walks, they will definitely get 2-3 walks a day.I do have a cat who is well taken care of and when I’m working and I will visit my cat ( he is never alone too long).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
shamaurie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs! If there is a special way you give them medication, or there is a particular toy they like, or if there is a particular way they need to be fed and their energy level. What makes your dog/cat anxious? Where is it okay to pet ( some fur friends don't like to be touched on the head or tummy). Does your pet have any allergies?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
