Safety, trust & environment

As much as I would love to, I currently cannot board any pets at my place as my cat Phoenix makes the rules and she says no guests.

Information Shanna R. would like to know about your pet

I look forward to learning about your dog, it's likes and dislikes, temperament and anything else you think I may need to know in order to make it the most comfortable.

A typical day

I love to go for walks in the neighbourhood, visit the dog park or any nearby trails. Whatever your dog enjoys the most I'm happy to accommodate.

Pet care experience

As someone who knows how anxiety provoking leaving your pet can be (personally, no matter how many times I go away it never gets easier for me) I want to make it as stress free as I can for both you and your pet. I have been surrounded by cats and dogs for as long as I've been alive. Growing up I had cats, rats (yes the cats and rats got along) as well as two German Shepherds and now currently have my cat Phoenix. Anyone who knows me would tell you just how much I love all animals and would go above and beyond for them, loving them as if they were my own. As I said previously I know how uncomfortable leaving your pet can be so having someone you trust makes all the difference while you're away. I'd be happy to set up a meet and greet to see if I'm that person. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Super reliable and flexible cat sitter. Shes taken care of my shy kitties several times over the months and has won over their trust. No small accomplishment. I moved to Ottawa a few months ago and knew nobody. Her services saved me and allowed me to continue travelling as much as i do. I can send shanna a last minute request any time I have to leave town and it always goes off without hitch. When my cat was sick she took him to the vet, administered medications and checked up on him with multiple visits in a day. Way above and beyond, she truly loves my cats like they are her own. Always sends pictures and updates, cant recommend enough

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.
