I am a retired teacher. After teaching, I was my husband's caregiver while he battled cancer. I lost him a few months ago and now find myself lonely and looking for something to do. Since I love cats, I figured taking care of other people's cats and dogs would be a great way to spend some time.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat pets like members of the family (because that's what they are). They get everything they need from me. I will make them feel loved and cared for when you can't be there. I can also check the house while you are away to be sure there aren't problems. I can water plants, too. I don't want you to worry about anything while you are gone. Anything I can do to make leaving easier, I will do!

Information Shannon R. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special needs, such as meds, brushing, etc., please let me know. I know my own cat has lots of needs. I want to make sure your pet gets everything they need while you are away and I like to be prepared.

A typical day

When watching pets, I of course feed them and clean litter boxes or take them outside. I try to engage in play using toys. I also try to pet and give some physical contact so they don't feel alone. I will send daily updates with pictures.

The Purrfect Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have had cats most of my life. I know all about personalities! I know that pets need loving, especially when you are away. I had a cat that stopped eating once when I was on vacation and that ended up with a trip to the ER Vet. Needless to say, I know how imporant a good pet sitter is to keep your pet from feeling lonely. They need cuddles and play time. Of course, that goes along with the daily tasks of feeding, emptying the litter, walks, etc.

Shannon did an amazing job taking great care of my cats. She is such an animal lover and I would definitely hire her again.
