Hey there! I'm Shane, a lifelong animal lover. I speak English and mostly work witg English speaking clients. When I was 10, we adopted our long-haired white German shepherd mix family dog after the 4th of July. Since college, I've gained 7 years of experience in pet sitting, walking, and boarding for friends, family, and clients. I was a devoted Dog Dad to my pup Zero and Cat Dad to our black cat, Lucky. I've also worked with platforms like Trusted House Sitters, and I'm excited to join Rover. My love for animals extends beyond cats and dogs; it includes reptiles and fish. I had my own fish when I was a kid and would be delighted to care for any scaly friends. I have experience with many dog breeds and approach each animal without discrimination, prioritizing mutual comfort. To ensure the best care for your pets, I require an in-person meet and greet for all new clients. This 30-minute session is to discuss your pet's routines, preferences, and needs, handle key exchanges, and other details. It's also a great opportunity to see how your pet and I interact. Please note that there's a $5.00 fee for key returns after bookings if delivery is required. I pride myself on understanding animal behavior and respecting each pet's boundaries. Whether it's a high-maintenance pet or one with special health needs, I'm committed to providing positive, tailored care. Your privacy is important to me. I aim to respect your personal space while ensuring your pet's safety and happiness. You can expect excellent service and peace of mind during my visits, which I'll document through detailed Rover cards and plenty of photos. My services include: - Drop-in visits (30 or 60 minutes): Comprehensive care, including litter box maintenance, feeding, playtime, and house checks. - Walks (30 or 60 minutes): Using only regular leashes and considering weather conditions for your pet's safety. I'm always happy to share updates and photos of your pets during my visits. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly) family members!
