Invested Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Shannon and I’m a dog and cat parent myself. I have a 6 year old Australian Shepherd, Ginger, and 11 year old orange tabby, Rocky, and they are my world! As a pet parent myself, I totally get finding care for your furbaby can be stressful, so I can guarantee your furbaby will be in great hands as I’d take care of them like I’d want my furbabies taken care of! I’m an occupational therapist in the school system but I do work from home Mons and Fri, so I can do drop in visits pretty much anytime Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon, but for Tues, Wed, Thurs I can only do after 3pm. I try to keep up with my calendar but because I work in the schools I do get holidays and random days off so feel free to reach out and inquire about any days! If you'd like to socialize your dog, get some play time with another dog, or want a dog-friend to join us on our walk, I can bring along my Australian Shepherd, Ginger. I also have a nice yard that your dog can come spend the day here at my home, but we can discuss details if this is something you may be interested in. I have experience with all dogs and cats, from crazy big puppies to fragile geriatric pets, as well as from shy furbabies to energetic furbabies. I will give any attention and care that you and your furbaby want/need, whether your furbaby just wants to be walked and/or fed then left alone, to petting your furbaby for an hour lol. Please reach out with any questions!

Shannon is incredibly responsible. She is very committed to her work as an Occupational Therapist and will show the same commitment as a dog caretaker with Rover. She loves animals and shows them the same love she shows her OT clients. She is an amazing dog mom to her dog, Ginger, and it is very difficult living in a different city than her dog. This will be a great opportunity for her to be able to receive the love of animals that she needs while benefitting the animal clients she will be working for.

I love spending time and loving on furbabies so I will give your furbaby all the attention/love they want/need! If your furbaby is a cuddler who doesn't understand personal space, totally ok with that! If your furbaby likes to chill and do their own thing, totally ok with that as well! Okay to care for your furbaby/home in any way needed!

Information Shannon M. would like to know about your pet

Need to know their temperament, likes/dislikes. As well as any rules for the house such as not allowed on the furniture, have to be crated, etc.

A typical day

Pretty much anything your pet needs. I have an Aussie myself so I’m definitely down for lots of activity. Whether it’s walks or taking to a dog park or playing in your yard, I’m pretty open to whatever your dog needs!
