Safety, trust & environment

I am mindful of doors and exits for any potential escape artists. I am a pro at hide and seek with shy animals and meeting pets where they feel comfortable even if that means laying on the floor.

Information Shante D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog is around other dogs. should we cross the street, are introductions okay if the other owner approves? For cats it is helpful to know hiding places if they are shy but I can usually find them with a trick or two

A typical day

A typical day depends on the animal. I prefer to follow the pets normal routine. On walk routes that may look like going whichever direction they feel drawn to. For cats, meeting where they are. On the floor, under the bed and just sitting with them to make them comfortable.

Pet care experience

Animal lover and PAWS chicago volunteer and foster parent. Foster failed after 7 cuddly friends. Loads of patience, and lots of love to give. Would love the chance to walk, cuddle and play with your fluffy one! No breed restrictions, ALL are welcome. Ive always wanted to have a dog of my own, since my childhood love Shadow, passed, but at the moment have been unable to fulfill that dream. That's why this would be a great opportunity for me. I really excited and happy to help and provide some affection for these animals when needed and provide extra support and breakdown for you, the owner! :) Flexible arrangements can be made and Thanks for reading. Hope to meet you and your adorable pal soon.

Shante helped me out when I was in a pinch and realized with short notice that I needed a dog walker. She was very responsive and from the pictures looked like my pup loved his time with her! I will definitely use Shante for future walks.

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.
