4.5years on Rover! WFH Availability

Pet care experience

Hi there! We’re Shannon & Alex, two passionate animal lovers with 20+ combined years of experience, the latest 4 years with Rover, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's a playful pup, a curious cat, or any furry friend in between, we’re here to provide the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. Our Services: Dog Walking: Daily adventures for your dog to stay active and happy. Drop-in Pet Sitting: In-home care with plenty of cuddles and playtime. Overnight Care: Your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. Special Needs: Experienced in administering medication and caring for senior pets. Why Choose Us? Reliable & Trustworthy: We understand how important your pets are to you and treat them as our own. Flexible Availability: Whether it's a last-minute trip or scheduled care, we’ve got you covered. Daily Updates: We’ll keep you in the loop with photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Let us make your pet’s experience as enjoyable as possible! We can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members. Shannon’s main job is as an environmental consultant in the advanced energy field which is a full-time remote from home position and has a flexible schedule. If your request is for house sitting, Shannon is available to work remote from your home to provide bathroom breaks frequently as long as there is access to WiFi. Alex works banker’s hours and is available on nights and weekends. We personally have two dogs, a retriever mix named Echo that is 3 years old, and a golden-doodle named Feebee that is 2.5 years old. How does a profile with two sitters work? We are a tag team effort and share the workload, two people equals twice the loving for your babies! We’ve both been background checked by Rover and approved to provide services. If the request is for a housesitting, one of us will be dedicated to that stay for the entirety of the booking. For all meet and greets (walks, drop-ins, and housesitting), both of us will meet with you personally and answer any questions that you may have! Note: our pets are listed on our profile for when we need to book a service for them, they will not be staying in your home if booked for housesitting.

This is the second time we have used Shannon and Alex and they were again wonderful with our two dogs. They were communicative and sent pictures and our dogs were well cared for.

Shannon and Alex were great! Walker had a great time while I was away and I could rest easy knowing he was in excellent hands with Shannon and Alex

Shannon and Alexander were great! They were able to help us out last minute for an overnight and came to meet our dog Koda the day before the booking. They sent us plenty of updates, left our house nice and clean, and Koda seemed super happy when we got home! Would definitely book with them again.
