Safety, trust & environment

I only care for pets in their homes. I will request a meet & greet in advance to get to know your pet(s), yourself, and the space.

Information Shannon P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to schedule a meet & greet prior to caring for your pet if it’s for a house sitting request. This quick meeting can help your dog trust me, and allow me to be acquainted with daily routines or needs including: - Reward systems - Feeding times - Medications - Favorite toys - Overall demeanor And other house care duties including trash, mail, plants, cleaning, etc.

A typical day

I love to go on walks in neighborhoods and local parks. If there is a dog park nearby and your pup is properly trained, I would love to bring them there, too! I do my best to stay away from main roads for safety, and will conduct thorough tick checks if playing in areas with long grass or general concerns. I also enjoy a good game of tug-o'-war and catch! If your dog is a little older or not as active, I’m also happy to provide plenty of pets, scratches and cuddles!

Shannon was an angel! Odie ended up really sick and needed to go to the emergency vet. Shannon took him, and took such good care of him the following days! She administered meds, cooked him rice and chicken and was his champion the whole time! I cant recommend her enough. She was amazing! I was so lucky she was there to take such great care of my baby!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
