Furbaby Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi! My fiance Anthony and I live in a 2 bedroom condo in Arvada. We have both had dogs throughout our life, but don't have any right now. We are trying to save up a down payment to buy a home with a yard so we can adopt a new furbaby :) So right now yours won't have any competition for my attention. I do also have a “day job” like we all do just to pay the bills but would much rather spend my time playing with pups if I could. My schedule is 6am-2pm mon through fri. Hopefully that schedule works for most of our furry friends! I have trails and a lake nearby and am about a 15 minute drive to a mountain trail for dogs that like to hike. I love getting out and walking or jogging so I'm up for longer walks if your dog has lots of energy to burn and i'm totally fine with shorter walks if your BFF is a little older or tires quickly. I've done volunteer work at Foothills animal shelter and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I've lived with a yellow lab, siberian husky and golden retriever mix in the past. Dogs/ Cats are always welcome in my home or I'm available for travel sitting if you prefer your pet to be more comfortable at home. I think dogs are the most fun back seat drivers so I'm available for pickup and drop off if it makes it more convenient. I'll do my best to follow any routine or rules that you have set for your loved one so they don't get confused and return to you like the grand kids that just dipped into 100 pieces of candy at grandmas. :) I have a little experience with giving medication in pill form but have not been trained in administering injections. Can't wait to meet you and your best friend!
Reviews
Shannon was an amazing caretaker for our Henry! She took him for tons of walks despite the cold and snow, sent pictures and updates and even sent him home with a new toy ?We will definitely use her again and appreciate the peace of mind from finding someone so reliable. Thanks Shannon!
Our shy cat warmed up very quickly to Shannon. It was clear our cat was in good hands. We really appreciated the photos and updates Shannon sent as well. We’d definitely recommend Shannon!
Shannon is amazing with my pup! He's getting a little older in age, so I didn't want to board him and have him in some cement cell block while I was out of town for work. I came to Shannon and brought Fraggle over to see her place and sniff around a bit and they bonded immediately! While I was away, she said he behaved perfectly the whole time and they shared lots of cuddle time! (She sent me pictures of my fur-baby, too! Which was really appreciated, even though it was a short trip!) I will always be contacting Shannon for any pet sitting going forward! (I almost don't want to say too much in case she gets too popular!) But she's too good not to share! Puppy love (or any other pet-love) should be shared with all. I've had good and bad experiences through Rover... so trust me, this one is a keeper! Thanks so much, Shannon!
If you want your fur baby in good hands I recommend Shannon all the way. She has watched my fur son many times and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is attentive, caring and eases his anxiety of missing his parents. My fur son is a 9 year old Siberian Husky that is quite chill. He likes to be around humans and loves the company of Shannon when she watches him. She is a trustworthy person and someone you can trust both with your house and pet.

Information Shannon S. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know: -are they crate trained or roam free -food/ bathroom schedule -do you have any house rules that you would really like them to stick to? (ex: allowed on couches or not) -any concerns you have? (ex: food aggression, anxiety, or running away if door is cracked) -what's their favorite toy/ activity? I want them to have fun!
A typical day
I live right next to a small lake or I can take the more active friends to a trail near my condo. I'm about 15 from Matthew winters trail and can take them as long or as short as they need.
