Pet care experience

A Decade of Pet Care

I loved growing up with a dog so much, so after college I joined Rover and started pet sitting + walking. I gained 10 years experience (walking, boarding, and sitting) through apps like Rover, Wag!, and Trusted Housesitters, and connections. I I am always around animals whether at home with my one eyed dog or at a pet sit + drop in. I am comfortable with most dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for them. When I have a sit or drop in, I will dedicate my time to loving and supporting them. I would love to support their routine and activities, where they can get plenty of pets, affirmations, play time, and any necessary medication, while you're away. I have experience with administering injections, oral meds (pills + liquid), diapers, and specific conditions like early IVDD, seizures, anxiety, no teeth, one eye, and hip dysplasia. I've looked after puppies to seniors, and breeds like english/french/american bulldogs, labs, dachshund, mini poodle, cavapoo, pit mixes, boston terriers, newfoundland, and irish wolfhound to name a few.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with a decade of pet care experience. That means preparation prior to bookings, taking notes on their needs + care, asking necessary questions, maintaining their daily routines, respecting your personal spaces, and offering clear communication + updates through your preferred method. My goal is to support your pet's well-being as well as your peace of mind. I understand the trust it requires to allow another to take care of your pet + home.

This was our first time leaving our anxious puppy with a housesitter. Shannon was wonderful! She is so in tune to all things 'dog' and truly put our minds at ease. She was meticulous with his care and schedule, and so warm and affectionate. And our house was perfect. We highly recommend Shannon and can't wait to have her here again!

Shannon was amazing with my Boston Terrier, Demi! She kept me updated, followed all of Demi’s routines, and gave her plenty of love and attention. It made being away so much easier knowing Demi was in such good hands. I will definitely use her again!

Schedule

I'm currently a pet sitter full-time, so I can offer my complete attention to the care of your animal(s). My availability is updated often for sits and drop-ins. I'm very comfortable with short and long term sits after pet sitting across Europe last year.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Shannon can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know any specific needs or conditions to account for prior to the booking. I always schedule a meet n greet to ensure we're a good match and for additional information on your pet's needs. My chronic conditions require their own support, so I've kept my offerings to drop-ins and sits, smaller breeds, and less than 4 pets (cats/dogs) at a time.
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.
