I currently work full time as an occupational therapist. I started doing Rover while in graduate school and loved it! Although I am more busy with work these days, I still love to watch animals whenever I get the chance on the weekends. Disclaimer for house sitting: As much as I love watching your animals, I also need to be able to run errands. While I will ensure your animals are well taken care of…if you animal cannot tolerate being left alone for 4-5 hours during the day I kindly ask you request somebody else. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I take directions very well & will do anything necessary to ensure your animal is well cared for and safe. I understand that each pet is different, so I take this into consideration into pet sitting any animal. Just tell me your expectations & I will make sure to meet them!

Information Shannon D. would like to know about your pet

The temperament of your dog, if your dog gets along with other dogs, or any specific requests that need to be fulfilled! As well as what your dog / cat enjoys or does not enjoy.

A typical day

I love to go on walks & be outside, so if your dog likes to be active, we will have a blast. If not, I am perfectly fine taking your dog for a walk outside or around the neighborhood. You tell me what your dog enjoys and I will make sure to meet all the criteria. As for kitties, I will ensure proper follow through with instructions and care. I love to play with them and give them love (if they are receptive).

Shannon was professional and flexible. Nelly loved her at first meeting. Shannon was also timely, sent regular updates, and made me feel at ease on my vacation.

Shannon was wonderful! She stayed with our two dogs and very senior cat while we were away. She stayed in frequent contact with us, sending lots of pictures, and we came home to happy pets and a very clean home. Thank you, Shannon. Will definitely contact you again next time we need pet sitting.

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.
