I’ve known Shannon for well over a decade, and over the years I’ve trusted her with some of the things that matter most to me—my pets, my home, and projects we’ve worked on together. I don’t give that kind of trust lightly, which is why I’m happy to recommend her on Rover. Shannon has a calm, patient, and approachable nature that animals seem to pick up on right away. I’ve watched her interact with dogs and cats of all personalities, and she has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable while still knowing when to be firm if needed. I’ve also worked alongside Shannon at private events and while organizing two events together in Reno, so I’ve seen firsthand how dependable, honest, and hardworking she is. If she commits to something, she follows through. When I lived in Reno, Shannon cared for my cat, Miss Kitty, many times while I traveled for work or vacation—sometimes for as long as two weeks. I trusted her with a spare key to my home, and I never had to worry because I knew Miss Kitty was receiving excellent care. More recently, Shannon got to know my dog, Layla, over many visits, walks, and time spent together at my home. I had countless opportunities to watch them interact, and it was always clear how comfortable Layla was around her. Shannon has a calm, patient way with dogs, and it’s something I’ve consistently seen firsthand. Finding someone you trust with your pets isn’t easy. Shannon has earned that trust from me time and time again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker.
