Dog Lovers @ Heart

Pet care experience

We've recently had to say goodbye to our adored 16 year old Miniature Dachshund and our family of four is seeking to share our home and love with other dogs. I am available to care for your dog during the day as I am not working and our two older children are in school. I am often not away from the house for more than 1 -2 hours at a time and I love spending time outdoors. We live in a pet friendly neighbourhood with sidewalks and easy access to both paved and wooded paths near the lake for lots of walks. While our backyards is not fully fenced, we do have a walkout deck and private grassy and wooded area for play and supervised breaks. We have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I would be excited to learn more about your pet and can tailor my care for their unique needs.

Shawna & Chris were amazing!! They took great care of our 2 pups and the updates they sent every day were awesome and just what we needed while we were away from our fur babies. We would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Shawna and Chris were our very first sitters with Rover and the experience has been anything but pleasant. They actually made sure we are always well informed and respected our very specific needs for our 2 month old pup. They also prepped treats for Chikoo and made sure he got the care he needed. If anything I can say, they really go above and beyond to make you feel secure about your furbaby while you are away. 10/10 service

Shawna and Chris (and family!) are exceptional dog sitters. They took time to understand Rusty and his unique traits! We love that they treated Rusty as one of the family, having fun, going on long walks and even snuggling up together. They were so wonderful that now Rusty misses them!

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.
