Pet care experience

Calm and consistent care

Your pet's comfort is my top priority—whether they're a shy cat, a high-energy dog, or a flock of chickens! I specialize in low-stress, routine-focused care to keep them happy while you're away. With years of experience (including medication, senior pets, and poultry), I'm adept at spotting subtle needs, such as a change in appetite or behavior, and adjusting care on the spot. You'll receive photo updates so you never wonder if they're okay. Let's chat about your pet's perfect routine! Happy to provide plant care, too! 🌱🌞

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets health, safety, and happiness are of the utmost importance to me. I love caring for animals, and generally have an easy time connecting with them and understanding their needs. I am very patient and happy to spend time proving my trustworthiness to more reluctant pets, as well as to you, their owner. ☺️

House Sitting • Dec 31, 2025

Shani is wonderful. She was so responsive and attentive and dealt w a little hiccup with our house alarm professionally and flexibly. She left the house in great shape and we know Koa was well cared for. Would definitely ask her again for future sits.

Shani is amazing - my dogs love her so much. She also took great care of our home in addition to our dogs. We are super grateful to have found her as we are new to the island. Thank you, Shani!

Shani has been an amazing sitter for our cats! She always puts so much effort into giving them attention and making sure they're entertained. I love getting her photos and updates on our kitties and it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Even when we had special care requirements (medication, feeding) she handled it perfectly!

Schedule

Because my work schedule varies daily, I prioritize pet care by adapting to each pet's needs-whether that's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Since I'm not tied to a rigid 9-to-5 routine, I can offer last-minute availability or adjust visits based on a pet's usual routine. I treat every booking as a top priority, ensuring pets get consistency (like feeding times or walks) even if my own schedule shifts. I always communicate clearly with owners about timing updates.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Shani can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet needs any special care. I greatly appreciate detailed instructions! I can do most things needed, as long as you let me know how you do it.
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.
