Availability
I've shifted my focus to cat care only, and I love providing calm, consistent visits that help cats feel safe while you're away. I'm reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet's routine. I'm currently taking a smaller number of bookings so I can give each cat the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. During the meet‑and‑greet, I take time to get to know you and your pet so I understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. I follow your instructions closely and keep things calm, gentle, and predictable.
Information Shannan M. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to learn anything you’d like to share about your pet — their routine, personality, preferences, and any boundaries they have. This helps me understand how to provide the best care and make sure I’m a good fit for their needs.
A typical day
I bring a few simple toys with me and am always happy to use your pet’s favorite toys as well. If they enjoy playtime, I love engaging them with gentle, enriching activities. If they prefer quiet companionship, I respect that and let them set the pace.

Calm, Trusted, Baltimore Cat Care
Pet care experience
I specialize in calm, detail-oriented care for cats (and dogs), with structured check-ins, medication support, and updates that actually tell you how your pet is doing, not just "had a great visit!" Why families choose me: Trusted by 100+ families with consistent 5-star reviews Cat-focused care, including experience with shy, anxious, or easily overstimulated cats Predictable, unhurried visits. I never rush through a check-in Detailed updates so you're never left wondering A focused Baltimore service area, so I'm reliably close and consistent I've cared for cats across the personality spectrum, from social butterflies to cats who need quiet space and a slower approach. One especially assertive, easily overstimulated cat taught me a lot about reading subtle cues and letting the cat set the pace. My dog care background gave me a strong foundation in body language and staying calm under pressure, skills that carry over naturally to feline care. If your cat is shy, sensitive, or thrives on routine, I'd love to hear what helps them feel safe, and give you the peace of mind that they're truly cared for while you're away.

Reviews
Shannan was incredibly communicative and took very good care of our dog during the visits. She gave us regular updates and we were confident that our dog was in the best hands!
Shannan has gone above and beyond to care so well for our Siberian cat. She is attentive and sends photos and updates while we are away.
Shannan is very dependable and detail oriented. She takes excellent care of my cats and handles their different diets. The cats enjoy her company and playing with her. Everything is handled well: the cats are fed, the litter boxes are cleaned, the cats’ food bowls are even washed and ready for their next meal when I return. I’m very happy to have found Rover and Shannan. The cats get to be comfortable in their home while I travel and I don’t have to worry about anything. I highly recommend Shannan for your pet sitting needs!
Shannan provided excellent service watching my two cats for a week (twice per day). Besides being meticulous about the different feeding instructions / different foods for each cat due to medical issues, she also kept their litter boxes clean and engaged them for some playtime. She sent an update after each visit with a few pictures of the cats. She is dependable and professional. This is the first time the cats have had a sitter visit the house. It is wonderful to be able to leave the cats comfortable in their home instead of putting them through the stress of transporting them and placing them in a pet boarding resort. I highly recommend Shannan and have already booked her for another round of visits during my next trip!
