Pet care experience

clean 1 bedroom, focused care

I’ve worked professionally in rescue facilities with responsibility of puppy kennel care and have been a pet owner of my own for 10 years, until recently. Just moved to the area from Maine and am on my own in a clean apartment with a work schedule that allows me time and space to provide love and care without the long term commitment of pet ownership myself again.

House Sitting • Aug 18, 2026

Shannon was wonderful house-sitting my pup, Dosa for almost a week. She communicated so well while I was away and Dosa looked so happy in every photo she shared! Shannon took great care of my home too. Overall respectful, kind, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommend!

Communicates very effectively during the entire stay and provides pictures. Made me feel extra comfortable that my pup was safe and happy.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved senior pet, Rooney, to the exceptional care of Shannon. As a devoted pet parent, Rooney is truly my heart, and finding someone who could provide the same level of love and attention was paramount. Shannon exceeded all expectations. Shannon’s caring, friendly, and sweet demeanor immediately put both Rooney and me at ease. Understanding that Rooney is temperamental around other dogs and thrives on a schedule-oriented routine, Shannon handled every detail with remarkable sensitivity and precision. Shannon’s excellent communication was a lifeline, especially for an anxious pet parent like myself, providing constant updates that reassured me Rooney was in the best hands. Shannon's ability to connect with Rooney, respecting his unique needs and providing companionship filled with genuine warmth, speaks volumes about her dedication and heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon to anyone seeking a pet sitter who will love your pet as their own. Thank you, Shannon, for being such a wonderful part of Rooney's life!

Shannon is super communicative and quick to respond. Best sitter I’ve ever found on Rover. She actually walked my dog multiple times in one day while I boarded my pup with her. Shannon is really flexible with time and put a noticeable effort to be available at the times you need for pick up and drop off.

Shannon was great with our pup for 10 day stay. Plenty of walks on the trail network nearby. Communicative and easy to work with. Tater would love to come back in the future.

Shannon was GREAT! She was kind, and great communication. Took great care of our dog. She sent so many pics and updates. You can tell she’s a huge dog lover, our dog was immediately attached to her. Will definitely ask her to watch our doggo again, thanks shannon 😀

Fully focused and dedicated care in my apartment, with ability to feed or medicate as needed. Non smoker with no other pets. I welcome them on furniture and balcony space. Some steps required up to my unit so older dogs please consider. Love an easy hike or beach walk!

A typical day

There’s a lovely trail right across from my apartment that’s great for both short pees and long walks, and so long as pups are car friendly and social I am happy to explore gentle hikes, parks, beaches etc!

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only

Happy to follow any strict or silly routines, am always grateful for favorite treats + toys to be packed and I feel best when walking dogs on harness rather than just a collar! I do have a boyfriend who spends the night on occasion so please share if your pup has any male aggression so I can plan considerately :)
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.
