I’ve worked in veterinary medicine for 5 1/2 years but took time off to be a stay at home mom and raise my 6 month old daughter. I miss seeing my clients and their pets on the daily! This allows me to continue doing what I love but also being able to raise my daughter. I am free all day every day so shoot me a message let’s chat and get your babies taken care of!

Pet care experience

My name is Shania, I’ve been around all animals all my life and from when I was very little I knew in my heart I wanted to take care of them. I have been a veterinary technician for 5 1/2 years now. I graduated with my associates in veterinary science in 2022. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. It has never been a job, but a calling. I’ve worked with pets of all kinds, from the playful to the shy, the healthy to those with special medical needs. That experience has taught me how to care with both skill and compassion. I started my journey with Rover as a way to continue doing what I love while also being present to raise my daughter. This opportunity allows me to give your pets the same kind of love, attention, and care I give my own family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. With me, your pet will be treated like one of my own, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or administering medications. I look forward to welcoming your furry loved one into my care! I have four animals of my own. I have one cat and three dogs two of my dogs are littermates. I have a huge heart and I’m willing to add your pet to it.
