Pet care experience

Calm, caring sitter with 15+ years

Dog Sitting & Drop-In Visits I’ve spent over 15 years caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including rescues and seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m calm and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s medication, playtime, or just some reassuring company, I make sure your dog feels cared for and understood. Cat Care As a lifelong cat owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your feline family member in someone else’s hands. I’m gentle, observant, and happy to meet each cat on their own terms—whether that means playtime or quiet companionship. I’ll treat your cat with the same care I give my own two.

Safety, trust & environment

I take pet safety seriously and always follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I double-check details, keep routines consistent, and make sure your home and pets are treated with respect.

Absolutely! Here’s a polished and heartfelt testimonial you could use for Shane M’s Rover profile: --- I’ve known Shane M for many years, and he’s consistently shown himself to be a caring, thoughtful, and trustworthy person. He’s watched my dog multiple times while I’ve traveled, and she absolutely lights up when she sees him. Shane goes above and beyond—taking her on long walks, playing with her at the dog park, and making sure she feels loved and safe while I’m away. I’ve always felt completely at ease leaving her in his care, knowing she’s in good hands. Any pet would be lucky to have Shane as their sitter or walker!

It’s essential for me to know key details about your pet before I begin caring for them. This includes: - **Daily routine**: Feeding schedules, exercise needs, and sleeping habits. - **Health information**: Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies. - **Behavioral tendencies**: How they react to new people, other animals, or certain situations (e.g., anxiety, aggression, or separation issues). - **Likes and dislikes**: Favorite toys, activities, and any things that might stress them out (such as loud noises or unfamiliar environments). - **Training and rules**: Are they trained to follow commands, and what house rules should be maintained (e.g., not allowed on furniture or specific rooms)? - **Emergency contacts**: Your preferred vet or an emergency contact, just in case. Knowing these details helps me provide the best care possible and ensures your pet’s comfort and safety while you’re away.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
