Full Time Pet Sitter!! :)

Pet care experience

I give each animal my full attention during each visit, and always ensure they're happy and healthy. All pets are welcome, I have taken care of animals of all types, sizes and age. If your pet needs medication, I have also given cats and dogs medication and shots in the past so I am comfortable with doing so. As much as I love all animals, cats have a very very special place in my heart. I have two boys, Spoon and Fork and they are the lights of my life. Spoon is the tuxedo who's personality is bigger than he is fluffy and Fork is the polydactyl that is the funniest, cuddliest goofball.

This was Shannon's second time caring for my cat Maggie while I was away. Knowing Maggie was in good hands with Shannon gave me complete peace of mind.

We did some research on Rover and based upon positive feedback, I reached out to Shannon to arrange for her to watch our three cats and two fish while we were on vacation. Shannon was very responsive to my request and we did a meet and greet with her beforehand. Shannon is always prompt and communicates really well. She did a great job taking care of our gang while we were away, sending pics and feedback on them each day! It made us feel confident in our choice and that our family was in good hands! We will definitely be using her again!

Shannon is the best! We needed a pet sitter to hang with our 9 month puppy while we went to a wedding and Shannon was excellent. Super communicative, sent great updates, cute photos, and our pup loved her. Highly recommend working with Shannon!

Safety, trust & environment

During drop in visits I'll give your pet lots of love and attention to make sure they are happy while you're away. I'll play with them, take them out to potty, feed them and give them fresh water. Throughout the stay I'll also make sure that your home stays nice and tidy so you can relax when you get back!! If you need I can also water your plants, take in your mail, etc. During dog walks I will take them outside and have them walk around the areas near your home, have them potty and stretch those legs!! If you're dog is extra active and you'd like us to go a certain distance/route I'm happy to do so, just let me know :) For longer walks - I can take your dog to nearby dog parks or trails (as long as they are okay in the car for short distances!) For overnight stays in your home, I can stay in your home the entirety of your trip however I will need to leave for 1 - 4 hours occasionally for other bookings and to spend time with my own kitties! Pricing can vary from what is listed due to the amount of time needed based off of the needs of you and your pets. I cannot currently do stays in my own home as I live in a studio apartment, however my dream is to own a home with a big fenced in backyard for long stays! So maybe some day :)

Information Shannon M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is is anything special you would like me to know about your pet. For example - if your pet has separation anxiety or doesn't do well with other animals. Anything that you think could be important during the stay/walk. Thanks so much, I am looking forward to getting to know you and your pets!!

A typical day

Every day with each animal is different! I can really accommodate to whatever your pet needs. I can take your dog to the park or local trails, play with toys, play fetch and also reinforce any training that you are working on with your puppies!

Availability

I recently started pet sitting/dog walking full time! So my full attention can be on your animals while you are away as well as I can be extra flexible with scheduling. I'm also normally available on short notice so if something comes up last minute, hopefully I can help. For visits longer than a week long, I can be flexible with pricing!
