Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are my Favorite People!
My earliest memories all include my furry sibling, a gigantic Doberman Pinscher named Wolf. In the four decades since my first faithful canine companion taught me unconditional love and the gentle responsibility of learning to read unspoken needs, my journey as a caregiver has been shaped by many interspecies instructors. Each experience has refined my natural intuition, molding me into a deeply responsible, proactive, and trustworthy in-home pet sitter. I understand that your pets are family, and I specialize in reading animal body language, maintaining exact routines, and providing the attentive, steady presence your pets need to feel safe while you are away. When you choose me, you can expect care beyond the minimum basics of keeping your pets safe and comforted in their familiar environment, adhering to feeding schedules, portion control, and exercise or play routines. You can rest assured I will make every effort to keep your pet happy and your home immaculate, following your established rules and routines. I will provide patient, gentle, and reliable delivery of medications, and safely transport your pets to playdates, grooming or training appointments as required. Additionally, I will maintain attentive home care tasks such as daily vacuuming, bringing in mail, watering plants, or cycling lights.Your peace of mind and satisfaction are my utmost priorities. As a pet parent and proud homeowner, I know trusting that your pet's comfort and your home's security will be maintained isn't always easy, so I like to keep you assured all is well by sharing text and photo updates as frequently as you request.

Because I know how important consistency and routines are to happy, well-adjusted pets I focus exclusively on care within your home, centering my approach on maintaining routine. I make every effort to follow instructions for your pet and home to the letter.
Ratings and reviews
Shannon S is an absolutely incredible dog sitter! coming into my home and blindly trusting since I have ptsd. But when my partner suggested using Rover instead of a kennel I searched for the person my soul felt would be the most motherly, kind, patient and tough! I am always a little nervous about new people However Shannon agreed to meet with me a day before my partner and I had to leave! Even with her busy schedule, she still made it work! it rained extremely hard while we were gone and there was not one drop of mud anywhere in the house or on the dogs! They were both still spotless! Shannon never complained about the weather. She only reassured us that we picked a right time to go on our trip and that she was holding the fort down!! My partner and I have two 90+ lb dogs who love to play and are needy when it comes to love! We like our dogs to eat at a specific time and to sit on command and Shannon sent us a photo when it was time to feed and it made us feel very comfortable and relaxed! We were kinda last minute for her and she replied right away and since I mentioned that I have two bigs dogs I needed a strong person and seeing the type of dogs Shannon watches on her profile I saw no reason why she wasn’t the sitter for us! I will definitely continue scheduling Shannon s for my babies! My big labsky is a regular flight risk and it makes me nervous as a parent and when he tried to jump my fence she was right on top of it! I am so thrilled with her athletic ability 😝😅 that made me so happy to hear and I am so exited for her to take them to the dog parks and continue watching them because I can tell how content and happy our babies (dogs) are!!! Thank you again Shannon!
Shannon was a pleasure to have in my home. I knew my dog was in good hands from the moment we messaged and then met in person! She left my house in better condition than it was when she first came. Would definitely recommend her services! <3
Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!
Shannon is a great person who loves dogs and does a great job with her own pet. I know she will take great care of anyone fur babies as well.
Reliable, dependable and my animals just love Shannon! Shannon is punctual and really cares about her pet and house sitting. Trustworthy and one time I had to run out in a hurry and forgot some dishes I had left in the sink...well Shannon being the kind and considerate person that she is took care of them for me. I can not say enough good things about Shannon. Hire her you won't be sorry!
I have known Shannon for about 10 years. Shannon is very loving and takes being a pet caregiver seriously. She loves her dogs and would treat yours the same.

I am semi retired from the film industry doing occasional freelance work or short term contract jobs. When I accept a pet care booking it is my top priority and I will only take concurrent bookings that maintain our agreed upon routine.
