Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

Information Shantalee M. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know if your pup has any special needs, as well as if there are any methods you use if your pup becomes anxious for any reason.

A typical day

We will explore the dog park near my house if owners are comfortable for me to do so. We can walk along the river, and we will play with toys.

This is our second time having Shantalee watch our pets! Great communicator and our home and pets were well taken care of.

Shantalee is a fantastic sitter and was really flexible with us especially with our flight changes and cancellations. They were able to extend their stay to help us out and was there when we really needed them!

Shantalee takes excellent care of my animals and leaves me with great peace of mind while I’m away. I can’t recommend them enough.

This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!

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.
