Pet care experience

Pet sitter ready for anything.

I rescued my first dog over 20 years ago. He turned out to be a loving, goofy, naughty GSD/Husky/Golden Retriever mix. From there we rescued Flash (a 4 yo English Springer), Buster (a 5 yo Pointer) and eventually Mara (who is now 5). Jarod, Flash and Buster each gave us 13 wonderful years with them. Mara still brings us joy every day. But we really, really loved the personality of our Flashy. So we got an ESS. And…then, we decided he needed another to play with. So, we got Luke a brother, Chewie. And, then Obi was born so, so small that the breeder did not know what his future was. They reached out to us and we got our 3rd ESS! He came home at 8 weeks only 3 pounds. Today he tops out at 28 pounds. He has no idea he is little. In addition to the dogs we have rescued a menagerie of cats. They all cohabitat together, mostly in harmony.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are my life and I am diligent to make sure pets are safe and secure when under my care- the same way I would my own. Making sure gated fences are closed, leashes are secure and pet are kept in a safe environment.

Shannon was wonderful with my two cats! She took the time to play with them, and take lots of pictures. The cats warmed up to her immediately.

Shannon took great care of our cat on extremely short notice. While we were away for a family emergency, I had peace of mind that Zephyr was being well cared for.

Schedule

I currently have a hybrid work schedule, working from home 60% of the time. I can flex my time on WFH days if needed. When in the office I work downtown and could do a drop in at lunchtime if that’s where you are located.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Shannon can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Any special needs or behaviors would be helpful. One of the spaniels likes to guard items. I have tricks to deal with it that I would share with my sitters. Maybe you have a cat that likes to hang out by the door, ready to bolt- that would be good to know.I am also comfortable administering medications .
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.
