Pet care experience

Compassionate, active,animal lover!

My family and I ran a nature preserve and organic farm for 15 years. We have cared for a myriad of animals and are experienced pet owners. Housesitting, pet sitting, dog walking have been part of our lives for years! We recently moved back to Salida and we miss caring for animals. I work from home and have a really flexible schedule. I am very active and love an excuse for an extra walk or run! We have hired pet sitters before and I would love to reciprocate the loving attention our animals have received. I'm happy to give individualized care to each pet! They're all so different and have varied personalities and needs. I'm happy to adapt to what each family and situation requires. We have trails and huge fields for running, playing ball, right outside our home and an amazing dog park just down the block!

Shawna made it simple and easy. Our pup was happy and well loved while we were away.

Shawna did an amazing job caring for our three chickens, two cats, and dog! She took our pup on some wonderful walks around town, which we really appreciated. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of reliable, attentive pet care 😊

I’ve had Shawna take care of Roxy several times now. She has been great with her.

Shawna and her daughter are great! They cared for Bandit while we were out of town and really put me at ease since this was our first time leaving him. Bandit had a great time with them and he was so well cared for that he was barely excited when we got home 😂

love to know what your dog's demeanor is like, what they like to do and what are special treats for them. Every dog is so different and I think it's important to know what makes them comfortable!
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.
