I am a CU Boulder Psychology student working towards a career in clinical mental health. I am at school 4-6 hours a day - this allows me to dedicate more quality time to caring for your pets compared to those with full-time schedules. I will begin back at CU Boulder late August.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very clean on a personal level and always leave homes as good or better than when I arrive. I am well versed with different kitchen equipment especially sensitive kitchenware like easily scratched pans. I have been complimented on my knowledge of house care. I also keep an eye on your pet’s behavior: like if they’re acting off or having different bathroom habit. I’m happy to handle any clear requests you have.

Information Shania M. would like to know about your pet

I would LOVE a google document with clear instructions. I generally make wise assumptions but the more clear you are in writing, the more confident we can both feel in all needs and requests being met. Please let me know if they have any behavioral issues, quirks, or any particular ways of being. Don’t worry about being too detailed, it’s all helpful as I get to know you and your fur baby :)

A typical day

This depends on the pet’s personality, preferences, and the sitting location, of course! I love going on hikes and when the weather is nice, I’d love to bring them along. I also enjoy trips to the dog park and giving plenty of snuggles to those who appreciate it.

I love to care for animals! I have experience working with senior animals, animals in training, caring for wounds, and administering medications. I love to share daily photo, video and thorough updates while you’re away. I ensure prompt and clear communication. I can also care for your house plants!

Shania was great! She watched our dog for a week and took good care of her, was really attentive and gave frequent updates. Our dog has a lingering injury and she did really well with taking care of that as well. Would definitely recommend

Shania has been a great sitter for my cat, bringing him lots of extra toys and giving him attention. I always appreciate her responsiveness. She leaves my home cleaner than when I left!

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.
