Pet care experience

I love animals

I moved to Portland in 2004. My only requirement was that we live next to a dog park so that I could have a dog. My first dog a was a great Dane pitbull mix named Virgil. We got him out of shelter in Tacoma Washington. Then came Lucy, she was a Rottweiler that got dumped on the streets of Portland. At the time we still had two cats, Jack and Ernie. Then my father-in-law came to live with us with his yellow lab named Sabrina. Boy was it a houseful! We all learned together how to coexist. I was so happy to be surrounded by so many wonderful pets. It was trying for sure, but we managed. As the years went by eventually we lost all of them. In 2014 I adopted Thelma a boxer mix who became my everything. I lost Thelma in November and I cannot bring myself to adopt again for a while, yet there is something missing. I need to be around animals. My partner and I have taken care of every type of dogs from the easy to the most difficult. We have taken care of puppies and seniors. Dogs that were needy and the highly independent ones.

Hi, I’m here to highly recommend my friend of many years for Rover. Shannon is an absolute dog lover to her core. She notices their needs and tends to dogs naturally. When her dogs are happy she is happy. I think she would be a wonderful addition to the Rover team - providing a win-win situation for dog owners in need of a trusted person to care for their pets while away, and providing Shannon time with more dogs too. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you.

I highly recommend Shannon as a pet sitter! She has watched our two dogs several times. They are always excited to see her. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs are comfortable and loved. Shannon is very responsive and sends us pictures. She is a pet sitter you can trust to give your animals the best of care and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard. My house is very dog friendly. It is all one floor. The whole house is open for pets. I can crate if preferred, but not necessary

A typical day

Typical day in my house is all about the dogs. Playing in the backyard, walks around the neighborhood, or just hanging out in the living room watching TV. Of course there’s always time for treats:)

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or medications. I have gotten very good at giving pills so that is not a problem.
