Information Shan Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they have any special needs—like meds, a set feeding schedule, or favorite toys. It’s also helpful to hear about their personality. Are they shy? Super playful? Not a fan of other dogs? The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to make sure they feel happy and comfortable.

A typical day

I enjoy keeping pets happy with things they love—playing fetch in the living room, tossing toys down the hallway, going for walks, or spending quiet time together. If they prefer a calmer day, I’m happy to sit with them for snuggles and company. I like to keep their routine familiar so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Caring for my dog over the years has taught me not just the basics of pet care, but how important it is to truly understand the needs of every pet. Whether it’s helping a playful puppy learn good behavior or offering gentle support to senior pets, I’m dedicated to ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and safe. I pride myself on going beyond the basics, so your pet feels like part of the family while you’re away.

Shan was wonderful!! She took great care of Cherry!! This was my first time using Rover and Cherry’s first time with a doggy sitter who wasn’t a relative or a friend. We were both so happy with Shan and her dog! I wasn’t sure what to expect from Cherry being in a new surrounding. Shan made her feel right at home. She was super happy when I picked her up. Nothing but thankfulness to Shan and Rover for a great experience !!!

I’ve seen Shan care for her dog for years, and it’s clear how much she loves animals. She’s patient, dependable, and has a way of making pets feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, she treats every pet like part of the family. Anyone who leaves their pet with her can feel confident they’re in good hands.
