Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the client's home type, I will adjust each visit accordingly. With a fenced in yard, potty breaks will be a breeze and we may enjoy the spring weather with running around. Otherwise, I will quickly research a safe and reasonable walking path or find a local park to take your loved one(s). In the home, I assume the pet will have spots they find cozy and relaxing and I am more than happy/willing to 'go to them', giving them some love and attention in the areas they feel most comfortable.
Information Shannon K. would like to know about your pet
-The temperament of your dog towards other dogs and people - Their strength when pulling on the leash - Your comfort level with releasing them in an inclosed space (such as a dog park) - Where to find their food/litter, and any allergies or dietary restrictions, etc. Pretty much just whatever I need to know in order to keep them happy and healthy!
A typical day
I am looking forward to exploring the outdoors when I am in town and would love to bring your pup along. Let me know their favorite activities and I will adjust our day accordingly. Whether they enjoy hikes or taking a dip on a hot summer day, meeting up with friends at the dog park or just playing some ol' fashioned fetch, I am up for anything! For kitties, I imagine some interactive play with a crinkle toy or teaser wand, followed up with chin scratches (or wherever they fancy) may be in order.

Pet care experience
My unique journey to NW Arkansas has provided me with strong foundational knowledge on animal welfare and safety, as well as an unparalleled perspective on pet wellbeing and happiness, ensuring both you and your fur-babies are satisfied with my service. ♥️😸 Relevent experience: - Pet owner for 15+ years (🐢,🐈⬛,🐈) - Kennel Attendent for 2 years - Veterinary Assistant for 1 year - Laboratory Researcher (using animal models) for 4 years - Keeper Aide (Small Mammal) at Smithsonian National Zoo for 2 years - Attended 1 year of Veterinary School (University of Pennsylvania 2018) - Previous Anatomy (laboratory dissections) and Ornithology (bird biology) instructor at UARK - Previous volunteer at Northsong Wild Bird Rehabilitation - Field Biologist and UARK Graduate Student for the past 6 years (Thesis on Eastern Bluebird ecology and wildlife conservation) Previously, I had successful stays with a variety of pets on Rover (big and small, young and old). While I am coming back to pet sitting with the app after several years of being inactive, I definitely look forward to starting anew and meeting new clients and their fur babies in NWA. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable administering medications and I would be happy to discuss any other exceptional and/or lingering requests you may have.
Reviews
Shannon is so sweet! She took Donald on a nice long walk and we are both so grateful!!
Shannon was great!! Highly recommend.
The best of the best!!!! Shannon is beyond incredible. She is the first and only person I have booked with on Rover so far, and I could not be happier with the care she provided for my fur babies. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and was incredibly thorough in making sure everything was done right. Her work ethic is outstanding, and she is genuinely one of the sweetest and kindest people. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in her care. I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!
Shannon is FABULOUS!!! She sent pictures and detailed messages about each visit. She was very thorough and made friends with my wary kitty and skittish dog very quickly. She is kind and very attentive to detail. I recommend her 10 out of 10 with gold stars.
