Dogs are mans best friend.

Pet care experience

I started pet-sitting on Rover as a way for my own dog, Napoleon to have some canine company. He is my baby—it’s just me and him and I do everything I can (within reason) to spoil him and make him feel loved. I promise that when your dog is with us, I will do the same for him as well! This includes things like plenty of exercise, special snacks (if allowed), lots of cuddling and access to all the furniture if he doesn’t sleep in a crate (and it’s okay with you). If not, we can definitely tailor our time to suit your pup’s normal routine. When I’m not pet-sitting, I’m studying for school or working during the mornings. I usually leave after the morning walk around 6:45 a.m. and am always home by 2:30 p.m. I play in a basketball league for an hour on Sundays, but besides that, I am at home. Napoleon is a very friendly dog and will be sure to keep your pup company while I’m gone. I am fun, caring and lovable, while also remaining responsible. I make sure to send pictures and videos of my clients’ dogs in real time so they know their dog is in the best of hands. I am always available by phone and can be extremely flexible when needed.

Saint loved his stay at Shannon’s. He really enjoy being with her dogs and was even sad after we got him home because there wasn’t another dog to play with her.

Information Shannon S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know everything I need to give your dog the best care possible. This could include things like dietary needs, medication needs, usual activity level, behavior and temperament, anxieties, whether they are crate trained, etc

A typical day

I live in an apartment with plenty of room for running and playing. There is a large fenced-in courtyard for more play and a chance to socialize with other dogs in the community. Close by, we have a large field that is clear of debris for more room to run. We also have a Banfield and Petco within two miles of my home in case we need any extra supplies. Send me a message—I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
