Writing Breaks w/ Dogs are the Best

Pet care experience

Hello! I was a sitter and walker with Rover when I was working on thesis. It was a fun way to take a break from writing. I am back because I am looking to spend time with dogs (and other animals) during my writing breaks with another big project. I can stop by a number of times a day, stay over, etc. I am pretty flexible and can do overnights during weekdays/nights. I grew up with dogs and have had 1-3 of them forever. I have always had border collies or terriers. I currently own one decker style rat terrier named Peat, some goats and cows. I can also do basic para-vet things like giving pills, shots, basic grooming, etc. I can watch puppies through to older pets. I can also mind other pets like small or large ruminants, horses, cats, fish, rodents, etc. In households with smaller children, I know that they tend to like to see photos of their animals when they are gone, so would be glad to make sure I provide multiple photo updates.

Shannon was great with my shy dog who is not comfortable with strangers. She warmed up to Shannon quickly.

Trusted her as soon as I met her. Flexible and prompt.

Shannon and her daughter, Claire, have taken care of my dogs in the past when I've been gone. They have always been dependable and loving towards the animals over the years. I can't remember a time in the past when Shannon hasn't had a dog or cat, horse, sheep or goat of her own, so she definitely knows how to take care of them.
