Hybrid WFH- Experienced Sitter

Hi! I’m Shannon — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a senior cat who just wants some gentle company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. You might notice a gap in my recent Rover reviews — that’s simply because I took a break from pet sitting while working a full-time job. Now that I have more availability, I’m thrilled to be back on Rover and giving my full attention to the pets (and pet parents!) I work with. I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you need daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here to make life easier for you and happier for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friends! 🐾 Your Pets, My Promise: I absolutely adore animals, and it reflects in my care. I treat them as if they were my own.

Shannon was very communicative and took great care of our dog and she even brought her packages in. She posted a video and pictures and I can tell our dog was taken care of even on a short walk.

House Sitting • Aug 04, 2024

Shannon was awesome. She took the time to meet both of our dogs before our trip to make sure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is very nervous, and she was amazing at giving him the space he needed. We got pictures and updates and she following our dogs routines perfectly. Our dogs loved her!

Shannon was caring and attentive dog sitter for Zoey! Her dedication and love for Zoey was remarkable, making us feel at ease while we were away.

House Sitting • Nov 19, 2023

Shannon is a super star who took amazing care of my high needs dog! My dog had an unexpected medical issue right before I left, so he wouldn't eat and did not want to take his medications. She went above and beyond, preparing him special food, getting him to take meds, monitoring what was working and what he needed, and giving him extra activities and cuddles so he could still enjoy his time through the situation. My dog can be a drama queen but she handled it like a champ and gave him so much love like he was her own! She took great care of my house as well, and I would absolutely recommend her services.

Schedule

🐶🚶‍♀️🌳Schedule: I'm here to accommodate your pet's needs and preferences, and I'm flexible with my schedule to ensure they receive the best care possible. Currently, I work from home 3 days a week, which allows me to stick to your requested schedule. Here's what you can expect: Potty Breaks: Your pet will have access to three potty breaks a day to relieve themselves comfortably. Walks: In addition to potty breaks, I'll take your furry friend on three refreshing walks per day. These walks provide exercise, mental stimulation, and a chance for them to explore their surroundings. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I'll do everything I can to ensure they have a happy and healthy stay with me. If you have any specific requests or adjustments to this schedule, please don't hesitate to let me know. 🐶🚶‍♀️🌳

Safety, trust & environment

🧐 What I Need to Know: Before taking care of your pup, please share as many details about their care as possible, such as feeding times, treat allowances, furniture privileges, and any specific preferences you have. I aim for continuity in their care, just like you would. When booking with me, please provide the following information: What's their normal daily schedule? Do they experience separation anxiety? Leash behavior – do they pull or chase after things? Furniture permissions – do they have any? Barking habits – are they skittish or bark excessively? Can your dog be left alone without causing damage? Feel free to ask any additional questions you may have. I'm looking forward to assisting you and providing your pet with the love and care they deserve. 🐶🏡❤️

Pets

A typical day

If you're comfortable with it, I love taking your furry companions on exciting adventures with me! Whether it's strolling to dog-friendly coffee shops or dining at restaurants that welcome our four-legged friends, I believe in making every moment special for your pet. Dog parks are a fantastic way to provide exercise and mental stimulation, but only if your dog is social and not aggressive with other animals. With your approval, we'll visit these parks frequently, ensuring they have a blast running and playing with their furry pals. On days when the weather doesn't cooperate or it's just too hot, I'll opt for leisurely walks at night, always prioritizing your pet's comfort and safety. We'll wait until the sun sets and temperatures cool down before venturing out. Rest assured, your pet will have a mix of exciting outings and relaxing moments in my care.
