New to Rover, all-time pet lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Shannon! I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child (including my prior childhood cats with diabetes, heart failure, and AIDS — so I come bearing experience taking care of sick pets, administering medications, etc.). Whether it’s taking energetic dogs on hikes and beach walks, or snuggling with a tame kitty on the couch, I spend time doing whatever the pet enjoys doing the most. I make it my responsibility to go above and beyond in making pets feel not only comfortable but also loved!

Shannon did a great job. When we got home, Harry looked great - he’s 18 and doesn’t like being home alone, so thanks Shannon! I definitely recommend Shannon for any furry baby, but especially our seniors who need a little extra love.

Shannon took great care of our elderly dog. She was responsive and the house was neat as a pin when we arrived back home. I would definitely hire her again.

I was grateful that Shannon accepted a rather last minute request. She was right on time, was quick to reply to messages and, most importantly Scout loved her. She even got kisses from my temperamental kitty.

10/10: Shannon is professional, punctual, and incredibly kind. Without question, Shannon is my go to person for dog sitting and dog walking. Her attentiveness to other's needs and positive energy make her stand apart from all others.
