Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a harmonious home with my partner, roommate, three cats & two dogs: cats Ruby (12), Orange (11), and Sheldon (14) & dogs Maple (10 mo.) & Dolly (6). Our animals' health & well-being is our household's primary focus, just as mine will be when I take care of your fur babies! I have administered daily medication such as insulin injections, topical ointments/washes, & thyroid medications to several cats in my home throughout the years & can handle giving any meds your cats require.

Information Shannon K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know more information about your pets' specific diet/medicine needs or behavior quirks, what their activity level/play expectations are, where cleaning supplies are located & updated vet contact information. I enjoy doing meet & greets to give your cats the opportunity to meet me before I drop in & so I can have an understanding of y'all's routine. Written feeding instructions either through the app or left at the home are much appreciated!!

A typical day

I love getting to know new cats & will take extra time to make your pets feel safe, calm & comfortable in my presence. I'll give them all the love & rubs & playtime & cuddles they want or if they're happy to keep their distance, then I respect that too! Happy to take care of your babies in any other particular ways communicated, it's important to me that your animals feel as stress-free as they can while you're away & I'll provide detailed updates/pictures with each visit. I love details from you as the owner & am always open to hear from you while you're away if you have any concerns. While I primarily sit for cats, I am happy to provide drop-ins for dogs if they are also family members!

Cat sitter with open schedule!

Cat care experience

I am a life-long cat owner & sitter (new only to Rover), and have taken care of many through kittenhood to over the golden rainbow & have never met a cat I didn't love, truly! I am able to take on any unique care needs your cats might have & have experience with cats of all demeanors with various health conditions. I can administer both oral & injectable medications. I have a flexible schedule to meet your needs, will give your cats tons of love & attention (if they want it!) while you are away and I always leave a space cleaner than I find it.

Shannon was phenomenal! Super helpful/patient as this was my first time using Rover. For all three visits she was communicative and descriptive. She took absolutely great care of my cat CC. 10/10 highly recommend.

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.
