Availability

I currently work for myself behind the scenes as a freelance visual designer, so my availability is super flexible to accommodate you and your pets needs! I understand that trying to get everything together in your life can be very time sensitive and overwhelming. I would love to provide a helping hand that can give you ease, consistency, and support! I’m also the eldest of five siblings who I’ve helped raise, and a part-time caregiver for one of my grandparents, and a brother who has cognitive disabilities along with autism. I treat every animal as if they were my very own. I will make sure they are given the proper love and attention they deserve! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out☺️ I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for someone else’s pet in their home, it’s important for me that their pet feels safe. I focus on building that trust by becoming familiar with their daily routine, and finding creative activities for us to bond with each other more.

Information Shaniece W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that need to be catered to! I’m open to working with accompanying your pet in whatever they need to feel comfortable.

A typical day

It’s important to provide a pet mental and physical stimulation. I love coming up with inventive ways that can help them release pent-up energy and promote a sense of well-being, which can result in better behavior overall. I also love making sure these animals get some socialization outdoors, even if it’s exploring a new block or park in the neighborhood!

Pet care experience

For two years, I’ve provided companionship and support for a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, and hamsters. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to not only take care of their pets but their home as well, especially if one of my clients were traveling for longer periods of time. Most of my work would require me to take care of pets with special needs, taking them for walks, taking pets to vet appointments and daycare visits, handling any necessary tasks and running important errands, and providing light house maintenance. This has helped me develop an attentiveness to individual needs, be adaptable to diverse environments, and have the patience and listening skills to create a nurturing and fulfilling experience.

Shaniece is the best!! We were out of the country and on a wildly different time zone, but never worried that she had everything taken care of back in New York. Our cat Ghost loves her : )

as I write every time: Shaniece is our cat Ghost’s close personal friend and we always feel so at ease while traveling when she’s hanging out with him!!

Shaniece is my pups favorite sitter! My 9yo dog is quite particular and Shaniece really gets her personality so I know my not so easy dog is in wonderful hands. I highly recommend her!

Shaniece took care of our cat Ghost for even longer than expected over the holidays due to a family emergency. We are so grateful to her! Knowing that she's spending quality time with our guy while we're out of town for so long gives such peace of mind.

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.
