Pet care experience

❤️ HUGE Cat & Animal Lover ❤️

Welcome to the ultimate pet sitting experience where every cat, kitten, and fur baby is treated like royalty! Some people affectionately call me the “Cat Whisperer”. I take immense pride in making sure each pet feels HaPpY, comfortable and loved. With over 50 years of animal care experience, including a stint at Bensons Wild Animal Farm when I was 14-17 yrs old where I cared for wild animals, birds & fowl. My love for cats began when I was young growing up our family farm. I have developed a deep love and understanding of all animals but especially cats. Whether indoor, outdoor, or feral, I cater to cats of all ages with personalized attention. Beyond cats, my services extend to a wide variety of pets, including all livestock and fowl. Need someone to fill your bird feeders or clean bird baths? I’ve got you covered! I know how crucial specialized care is having looked after my own and others’ special needs pets over the years. Plus, I can keep an eye on your home, take in your mail, trash cans and water your plants. As an avid gardener, I understand the importance of watering due to the Texas heat. I believe in customizing my services to suit each pet owner’s unique needs. Communication is key, which is why I provide regular updates and LOTS of pictures while you’re away. We can arrange a meet and greet to ensure you’re confident in my ability to care for your beloved pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in the best hands while you travel. I’m caring, easy-going, flexible and ready to adapt to whatever comes my way. Your fur babies will be well fed, loved, and played with although not necessarily in that order! I bring plenty of love and toys to ensure they have lots of fun. Whatever they desire during their stay, I’m here to make it happen! Let’s make your next trip worry free and fun for your pets.

Shannon’s been sitting for us for a while now. Our cat Zuzu goes crazy as soon as she hears the car, then she runs to the window. How do I know? Well Shannon takes lots of pictures of their time together. Zuzu doesn’t stop for one minute! This booking was a family emergency and Shannon didn’t hesitate to come over. I’m so glad I found her on Rover!
