Safety, trust & environment

Cleanliness and sticking to a schedule are important to me when it comes to caring for pets in a client's home. I work overtime to mitigate any accidents and rely on a schedule to help the pet get into a rhythm with me. I also have a very friendly Beagle/Border Collie who has all the energy in the world. We spend plenty of time outdoors, so for the most part our home is just for recharging, drinking water, and cooling off/warming up. I bring this exact routine to pets I care for in a client's home.

Information Shanae J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can work to accommodate even before my arrival. I am happy to help, just want a heads up :)

A typical day

I love to stimulate a dog's mind - I believe that outdoor activity is the best and spend hours outside with my dog. I will do the same for your dog.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs for 11 years and adopted a rescue 6 years ago. Below are some things that make me great: - Personalized Dog Care: I offer tailored services to meet each dog's unique needs and am particularly great with dogs who are timid or benefit from being around another dog. - Constant Communication: I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. - Flexible Scheduling: Accommodates last-minute requests/changes and I am available very early mornings. - Safety First: Prioritizes secure walks and safe environments. - Genuine Love: Passionate about providing affection and building a rapport with your dog.

Shanae helped me out with a last minute walk for Coco. She was very good at communicating. I would definitely use her again.

Great job with my Siberian husky. I feel very much as ease and her pup likes playing with Sergio. So glad I found a trustworthy person! I highly recommend Shanae for your pet. Her personality is great for the dog and protective owners like me!

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.
