Safety, trust & environment

From the time I enter your home, your fur baby is the focus of my attention. I specialize in providing the individualized attention your baby is used to getting from you. Play, walks, treats, someone to sit on the couch and pet? I am here to give the love your baby wants. I will take their lead in the interaction. I will also send pictures of your baby because I know how special they are to receive when you are away.

Information Shannon R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog or cat's preferences and any special needs they may have. I am happy to meet them where they are to provide that specialized care they may need.

A typical day

I will start by of course greeting your baby with love and pets (if that is what they want.) Then we will take care of a business they need (fed, walked, litter cleaned) then it is play time and snuggle time. I let your baby take the lead and let them tell me what they want.

Pet Fur is my Glitter

Pet care experience

I can’t remember a time when I did not have a pet. I my lifetime, I have had dogs, cats, and enough other animals to form a menagerie. I currently have 4 fur babies at home (2 dogs and 2 cats) and pet sit on a regular basis for a local family that has 4 cats and one dog. Please give me all the snuggles!!! I am usually the first person friends reach out to when their baby needs a petsitter. I even once was entrusted to dog-sit a friend’s elderly pooch that had an extensive medication schedule that included chemotherapy. I am happy to provide your fur baby with a mature, loving experience that you will be ecstatic with.

Shannon was on time and super nice and friendly to my boy. She communicated everything. Very responsive and always asked a question if/when something popped up. Definitely an animal lover!

Shannon is a fantastic pet sitter! She loves on your animals and keeps you up to date through the app. Shannon was flexible when we needed her to be. She always had the best interest of our dogs in mind!

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.
