Highlights
Pet care experience
Speaks Woof, Meow, & More
My husband and I have had the pleasure of parenting several rescue dogs for 33 years and counting. Our current pup is a Ratchi (50%Rat Terrier & 50%Chihuahua). Each rescue has taught me something new and precious about the human-pet bond. I have done both personal and professional pet sitting off and on for the past decade and have been with Rover full-time since 2022. Customized pet care experience includes overnight stays at the pet’s home, dog walking, cat drop-ins, and administering oral medications. I have extensive experience with a variety of dogs and cats, from extra large to pint-sized, from super-chill to high-energy, seniors to young bucks, and always enjoy the process of gaining their trust. Additionally, I have professionally cared for chickens, freshwater aquarium fish, bunnies, and small reptiles.

Safety, trust & environment
My first priority is the safety and well-being of your furry child. I rely heavily on detailed instructions from pet parents in order to provide optimal pet care. Candor is very much appreciated! Completion of your pet's Rover profile, including a photo, greatly helps to ensure all details are tended to and also feel free to include a screen shot of any pre-written instructions. Scheduling a meet-and-greet at your home prior to booking ensures that we are a good fit and sets up your pet for a successful and positive petsitting experience.
Ratings and reviews
Shana was amazing with our 2 cats!! I cannot recommend her enough. She followed all instructions, was super accommodating with last minute changes, and provided detailed updates. Both cats got a lot of play time too, which was super important to us. Shana, thank you so much for all your help!! Cats were healthy and happy when we got home. 😻
Shana cared for our cats on a recent weekend trip and she was very communicative and responsible. Detailed updates and photos mean a lot to us, as we are newer pet owners, and Shana did an awesome job of this! She put us at ease. :) They are looking forward to seeing her next time!
Shana watched Archie for 3 days recently and we are so pleased. She is very conscientious and detailed in terms of understanding habits and feeding. She made our dog comfortable so quickly and us too! Also great with communication. I highly recommend Shana.
Great care and communication! Thank you Shana!
Shana's great! Very easy to communicate with and really cared about learning the behavior and routine for my pup. Thank you!
I don’t what we would do without Shana!! Truly an outstanding caregiver for our Ivy!

Schedule
I update my availability on the Rover calendar daily. Depending on my current roster of clients, I can make 1 to 3 trips per day for dog walking, kitty refreshes, medication administration, playtime, etc. Please know that I am able to do overnights only if your pet is entirely comfortable being left alone for 4 hours (total maximum per day) during the day as this ensures optimal quality time and availability between existing clients within my service area. I typically leave my calendar open during overnight bookings for 1-3 dog walks and/or drop-ins for existing clients. Booking at least 1 month in advance for overnights during summer and winter holiday seasons is highly recommended. Should we decide that we are a good fit after an initial meet-and-greet, confirming your booking request on Rover will lock your reservation on my Rover calendar and prevent double bookings.
