Pet care experience

Former zookeeper turned pet sitter!

My name is Shannon - I currently work full-time (Mon-Fri from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) in Prescott. I am, of course, willing to come "home" at lunch time and directly after work to care for your "fur kid(s)." I have quite a bit of experience with house/dog/cat sitting, and can provide references. Most of my house/pet sitting experience comes in the form of dog/cat care including experience with giving pills to cats and dogs. I also have some experience with other animals, including horses, ferrets, rodents, fish, etc. It seems like a lifetime ago, but I worked as a zookeeper for 4 years and, in that position, I also gained experience caring for exotic animals including reptiles and arachnids. We have two dogs of our own; Leia is a mix and Hogan is a Rottweiler. We also have a sassy orange cat, Butts. For your dog's safety and comfort, I am always interested in a Meet & Greet. It's important to me to be able to meet your pet(s) before you leave your home. Having their parent(s) leave is hard enough without adding a complete stranger to the mix. I love to have detailed instructions that include feeding schedule/requirements as well as general information about your dog(s) (i.e. Where does your dog sleep? Can (s)he be on the furniture? What's his(her) favorite toy, etc.). I look forward to loving your pets as much as you do. I live in Chino Valley and work in Prescott. I’m open to sitting for your fur kids on a drop in basis (Prescott or Chino) or I'm happy to stay over at your home, which is normally what I do (pretty open to location). I want you and your pets to have the care and company that makes you comfortable. Lastly, I’ve been off Rover for a while, but I’m looking forward to meeting some new furry babies to love.

My boys really enjoyed having Shannon around in my absence and it took such a load off my mind to know that they were well taken care of. She came through for me in a last minute change of plans, too. You can tell that Shannon is just a great person overall and she genuinely cares about people and pets! Highly recommend.

I could not be happier with Shannon in so many ways. She was very attentive to our nervous dog, took great care of our parrot and outside plants, communicated frequently and thoroughly, left the most detailed note I've ever seen regarding pet activity while we were gone, left our house very tidy, sent pictures and was very easy to talk too. I recommend her 100% and she will definitely be our go to person in the future.

Always awesome! Great communicator. Hesitate to leave this review for fear Shannon won’t be available when we need her❤️

As always, Shannon treated our pets amazingly. We are moving and are so sad to be losing such a caring and conscientious pet sitter and person!

I cannot recommend Shannon enough. Both our cat and dog decided to act up quite a bit while we were gone, and she handled it with more compassion and grace than I could have hoped for. We will absolutely be return customers (if she’ll take us!). If you’re looking for an attentive and caring pet sitter that truly goes above and beyond, Shannon is the one.
