Pet care experience

The best care for your best friend

Hi there! I’m Shannon, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities (plus plenty of cats, rabbits, chickens, turtles, fish, and even hedgehogs along the way). I started pet sitting casually as a teenager and officially joined Rover in 2022. I did pet care part time while also working as a server and applying for Masters programs. I graduated this past summer from URI’s Masters of Environmental Science & Management program and have since transitioned into pet care full time and I couldn’t be happier. Spending my days walking, playing, and snuggling with animals feels like the most rewarding work in the world.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority. I follow any routines or instructions closely and always take the time to build trust with each animal. I keep spaces tidy, give plenty of affection and enrichment, and stay in close communication with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

Shannon is absolutely the best! The way she stays in contact and obviously loves our pup, we will never go with anyone else. 💗

The first meeting with Shannon went very well. I was so glad when both boys went to her, unsolicited. Taking Bo for his first walk as part of this introductory meeting felt comfortable.

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time work, so I have lots of flexibility. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for and will do my best to accommodate anything from quick walks to extended stays. Please note that for walks or drop in visits before 8am or after 7pm, there is an additional $10 charge per visit.

Let me know anything that helps me give your pet the best care. Do they have favorite toys or walking routes? Any allergies, medications, or quirky habits? Are they shy, reactive, or a master escape artist? The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe and understood.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
