Pet care experience

Star Sitter⭐Reliable Pet Care

I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from family pets to farm animals, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I currently have three miniature dachshunds of my own, including a 17-year-old senior dog and two younger dogs I raised from puppies, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in all life stages. I grew up raising sheep and rabbits through 4-H for 12 years, and I also spent time living and working on my in-laws’ cattle ranch, which gave me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with high-energy puppies, senior pets, and pets who just need a little extra patience and attention. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident while they’re away, so I focus on providing safe, dependable, and loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and snuggling, I’m happy to match their needs and personality. I also have experience caring for a variety of other animals, including bottle feeding, so feel free to ask about any specific care needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a fully fenced yard and a doggie door available for dogs who are comfortable using one, allowing for safe outdoor access and potty breaks throughout the day. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in a calm home environment. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to follow each pet owner’s routines, preferences, boundaries, and care instructions as closely as possible. Whether your pet is high-energy, prefers a quieter environment, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Shannon was a pleasure to work with, gave meaningful updates, and helped put away my meals in the fridge that were delivered while i was away. I would definitely have her watch my fur baby again!

She was super great! We had to book unexpectedly and last minute and even without a prior meet up she was amazing and took great care of my dog!

I can’t recommend her enough—truly a 12/10 experience every single time. I’ve been using Rover for quite a while and had several sitters before finding her, and none of them even come close. She consistently goes above and beyond in ways I didn’t even think to ask for. I have three cats and a pretty particular routine when it comes to their care. Each of them gets specific combinations of food—two different flavors, plus hard treats and a soft treat on top—and everything has to be separated just right. I showed her a photo once, and she has followed it perfectly ever since without missing a detail. What really sets her apart is the extra care she puts in. She doesn’t just do the basics—she thoroughly washes their food bowls every time instead of leaving them in the sink, even though I lay out extras to make things easier for her. She scoops the litter and even sweeps around the litter box area, something I never asked for but she’s done from day one. She used the toys to play with them, and even takes them on my balcony! It’s such a relief knowing my cats are not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly takes pride in what she does. If you’re considering booking with her—do it. I trust her completely, and I wouldn’t choose anyone else.

I currently work from home so my schedule is flexible. I do my best to maintain pets’ normal routines and provide dependable, attentive care while owners are away. I understand how important consistency and communication are, especially for senior pets or dogs who thrive on structure.

Before your stay, I appreciate knowing any important details about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, preferences, or any special care instructions. If your pet needs to be fed separately, has food sensitivities, takes medications, or has specific routines that help them feel comfortable, I’m happy to accommodate those needs. I also love learning what makes your pet happiest, whether that’s a favorite toy, treats, sleeping routine, or special activity. My goal is to help pets feel as comfortable, safe, and at home as possible while you’re away.
