Professional PetCare with Love

Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

A typical day

Kitties will get as much or as little attention as they prefer. :) I love to go on walks or take the dogs to the coastal trails as requested. There will be lots of snuggle and playtime for all pets who love that. I can also continue your basic socialization training such as sitting before eating and treats, sitting or stopping at street corners for traffic awareness, etc.

I always find out about the basic things: food preferences and times, special perches or snuggly places for kitties, walking routes and times, etc. It's also important to know: Do your pets have any allergies, sensitivities, or are they afraid of anything? Also how do your pups get along with other dogs, any history of fights, does she have any special dog friends locally?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
