Valley Walks & Wags

**Dog Whisperer (Formerly a Shih-Poo Mom) ** I recently relocated to Sunnyvale, CA from Oro Valley, AZ and I'm loving the California sunshine! While my beloved Shih Tzu-Poodle mixes, Lux and Zuri (get it, Luxury?), are currently thriving in a loving forever home with friends back in Georgia, my passion for furry friends remains strong. I'm known for being attentive to pet needs and responsive to their parents (pics included!). Whether it's walks, cuddles, or playtime, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe and secure with me. About Me: Helluva Engineer 🐝 , holistic nutritionist 🥑 , music lover 🎵 , foodie, pet cuddler extraordinaire 🐶 , coffee shop viber ☕️, and unofficial dog aunt to Orbit and Space, my mom's two Labrador Retrievers!

Our dog is so well cared for with Shavonne! She has watched our CKCS a few times and has handled any special requests and exercise restrictions after his surgery so well. She keeps us updated with photos and texts. This past visit she watched our maltipoo as well and alerted us to a small irritated spot on her skin (she scratches and chews sometimes when we’re away). We’re used to helping her with these spots but our previous dog sitter never noticed when she would get them. We were able to get her fixed up immediately thanks to Shavonne’s sharp eye and caring attention!

My shy dog, Miles, had an amazing time with Shavonne! She sent frequent updates and photos, and it was clear he felt right at home and got plenty of playtime and love. I came back to a happy and healthy pup. Highly recommend Shavonne and will definitely work with her again!

Schedule

I’m a remote employee 💻 and I’ve turned my office into a cute doggy haven 🐾. Beds, toys, and always playing lo-Fi or comforting classical music - which is surprisingly calming for dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding: Your pet(s) can roam the house and/or sit in my office with me while I’m working. I can also crate dog if needed. I’ll take them for a few scheduled 15 minute walks throughout the day. House Sitting: I do not stay overnight at my Rover homes, however I do drop in 2-3 times a day for 1-2 hrs depending on owners needs. During this timeframe I’ll feed, administer meds if needed, go for walks/runs (if allowed) and hang on couch/play!

A typical day

Walk or Jog on nearby trails. Explore and sniff around my neighborhood <I live right across the street from a dog park!> Cuddle and play games like fetch to get those tails wagging! Give snacks and treats if owners allow.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Shavonne can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know your pet’s feeding times and potty schedules in advance. Are they crate trained? Will I be administering any medications during their stay? I would like to know any pet peeves (loud noises/ allowing strangers to pet them etc.)
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.
