Dogs are My Life!

I love to engage with dogs! I moved from the Bay area of California January 2024. I had a full time dog boarding and daycare business from my home. I have 10 years of experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes. I love to be around dogs because they give us so much love in return. I can give you references upon request. I cannot currently watch dogs from my apartment but I would love to come to your home and care for your dogs in the environment they know best! Let's have a conversation and see what services I can do for your and your fur baby (babies)!

Shando did excellent staying with our dogs Stella & Lilly! He sent us several pictures and updates over the 16 hours which put us at ease. We had concerns as we were on vacation, renting an Air B&B and the dogs have never been left with a "stranger" before. Shando eased all the concerns and the dogs enjoyed their time with him! I highly recommend Shando for your dog sitting needs!

Shando was amazing! I had a last-minute cancellation and needed to find a dog sitter for the night of my wedding. Shando was responsive and has an impressive background and experience with animals. He came by for a visit, and our dogs, who normally only bark at strangers, went up to him, sniffed him, and were friendly. He has a great way with animals. He was able to spend the night and sent some pictures to put us at ease. We were able to enjoy our wedding night thanks to Shando fully. Would highly recommend him!

Shando was exactly what we were looking for! He was kind, compassionate and experienced with pets. Our golden loved him! Our first Rover adventure for a night away and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything worked out. Shando was flexible. He showed up early to not be rushed and stayed late working around our schedule. I can’t wait to plan another trip or date night so I can get on Shando schedule! Thank you so much for loving our needy puppers.

Shando was fantastic! He was so kind to both us and Rocky. We felt so comfortable having him in our home caring for Rocky. He shared photos and was very responsive. We will definitely use Shando’s dog sitting services again every time we leave town.

Shando took care of my 15 year old pup when I went on vacation for a few half days. He kept the home tidy, showed up early, interacted well with my other sitter, and made sure to follow my documented instructions. Since I had two sitters and had a POC for them to chat with, I didn’t get too much interaction but I plan to continue using him and get to know him more over time. Thank you Shando for being reliable and caring with my little man.

How many times a day does your dog get fed or do you leave dry food out? I’ll assume your dog needs to be separated when eating unless you say otherwise, even from any of your other dogs. Does you dog have any sleep preferences, such as burrowing or being covered? Does your dog take any medications? Is your dog aggressive around dogs of a particular size?
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.
