Loving Care for your Pampered Pets

Hi pet owners. I am Shannan, a teacher by profession who loves animals like they were people. I have gone back to the classroom this year so my dog sitting/boarding/daycare starts on Friday at 4pm when I am out of school thru Sunday evening as late as needed. I have a nice clean home and large fenced backyard for babysitting your babies. I have personally owned Chihuahuas, Dobermans, a Brittany Spaniel, and a Great Dane. I love them at all sizes. I have also had 2 Calicos. I have raised birds, hamsters and Iguanas. I am mostly a dog lover but will care for cats at your home. I have raised a diabetic and elderly pet, administering shots and meds. I have experience with dogs that have severe anxiety and know how to help them through that. I would love to care for your pets while you are away while offering them a safe loving environment. I have a secure fenced in back yard to play in with lots of trees , birds and squirrels to watch. I will keep your pet indoors in the cool AC unless they need to go outside for a break. I look forward to meeting your pet and getting to know your family.

Great communication and flexible with my plans changing- my Ridgeback wasn’t eating and they went the extra mile to get them hungry 😄

Was a total lifesaver when we were in a tight spot, and our pups couldn't have been happier at their home away from home!

This is the 3rd time we have taken Shannan’s help for boarding Ginger, who is suffering from DM. Shannan took great care of Ginger and kept us informed regularly.

Shannon has been so dependable and consistent with a fur baby. He comes home every time acting as if he had the best slumber party of his life. So grateful for her expertise!

"Fantastic care! They went above and beyond for Meemow – fresh food, thoughtful updates, and so much patience. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. Highly recommend!"

Safety, trust & environment

I let dogs stay inside my home and on the furniture if they want. I let them outside as often as they want. My fence is secure and has padlocks on each gate door. I use a double door system for entry and exit of the house through the pantry and garage door instead of using the front door to ensure no dogs get out of the house.

Pets

A typical day

I love to make dogs happy. I like taking them on walks down my street which is a perfect length for a walk which dead ends into a cul-de-sac. I have a dog run where I love to throw tennis balls to dogs who love to retrieve. Having a large bowl of ice water afterwards is always fun! If they stay for an extended time they will get a bath because they usually end up in the bed and they have to smell good for snuggling. I have a teen daughter who loves to snuggle with pups and let them sleep with her at night if they want.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, has anxiety in certain situations or what their particular preferences are. I do not require you to provide proof of vaccinations but do expect your pet to be on flea prevention. Please let me know if your pet has had experience with other dogs and if it is ok to be around other dogs who may come over for play dates.
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.
