I'm currently a full time graduate student at the university of Kentucky perusing my MFA! My life mostly circles around school and getting home to spend time with my lovely cat. Since the semester is out for the summer I have ample time to be able to spend with your animals!

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot offer daycare amenities in my own home but will fully utilize those available to me! I currently have a chow-border collie mix who is incredibly well behaved and loved, I also have one cat who is 7 years old and slightly special needs as she was born with herpes, recently my 16 year old best friend just passed over the rainbow bridge. I can’t wait to give your animal that same love and attention I give my very own!

Information Shannon V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything special your animal enjoys! I find the easiest way to make myself not a stranger for them is to be able to participate in their schedule or a favorite activity!

A typical day

Dog park, toys, and long walks with plenty to sniff are my favorite activities with animals! That way by the time you're home they're ready to spend time with you on the couch.

On many occasions I've had to rely on Vinny's amazing ability to take care of animals. I have a cat and a dog both of whom are not the easiest to work with, but every time Vinny takes amazing care of my animals. I would very much recommend them to family, friends, and Rover users.

During a stressful time in my life (family issues) I had to leave town for a week and couldn't take my Malamute with me. Vinny was an incredible help! He looked after my dog Benji while i was gone, going out of his way to ensure that Benji didn't get stressed while was gone- Vinny took him for walks, kept him brushed, and even trimmed his claws when they were getting long. I could not have asked for better care for my dog

Having known Vinny for over a decade, I can confidently say that he is very responsible in any job and is extremely caring when looking after animals. My family has entrusted him to watch our own dog several times, and I know he's had plenty of experience taking care of neighbors pets as well. He is extremely diligent and makes sure the animals are healthy and happy so their owners have no reason to worry while they are away. I don't trust anyone else more than I trust Vinny to watch after my dog.
