Safety, trust & environment

I am patient with all pets, no matter how mischievous or full of energy! Attention to detail is my forte - I will make sure to follow all directions you give me. I will send you tons of pictures of your fur babies so you have a peace of mind that they are cared for and happy! I can help enforce training with puppies, and other commands. For cat owners, I will keep the litter box and surrounding area clean as requested, give lots of love, etc.

This was my first time using Rover and a friend recommended Shay to me to look after my two senior kitties. Let me just say that my orange tabby NEVER comes out for anyone but he came out for Shay. She is some sort of magical cat whisperer I swear. She also sent me some of the best photos and videos! Communication was very clear and my babies were so well taken care of. I get so nervous leaving them but it was a huge weight off my shoulders knowing Shay was taking great care of them. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.

Zero complaints, Shannon was the perfect sitter! Super reliable and great communication. She was flexible with us based on our personal needs. The house was clean when we came home, bowls full & kitties happy! She took time to get to know each pet and gave them lots of attention! We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Shannon!

Shannon is wonderful!! Shannon walked and played with our dog Sage daily for a hour. We received daily report cards and pictures. Sage absolutely loved Shannon. She would get excited when she heard Shannon’s car arrive. Every time we spoke with my mother she talked about how much Sage loved Shannon and how Shannon was Sage’s new favorite person ☺️. My mother also noted how conscientious Shannon was when it rained, and wiped Sages paws before coming in the house. Thank you Shannon for taking so wonderful care of Sage!

In order to best care for your pet, please let me know if they have special needs or behaviors I should account for. My goal is to become *YOUR* pet sitter long-term, so any information you can share about your home or pet will make the experience better for both of us!
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.
