Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Lifelong Pet Lover
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, and turtles, which taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal's unique personality. For five years, I volunteered with the Nevada Humane Society, where I regularly walked dogs and helped manage their Kitten Camp program a few hours each week. That experience gave me hands-on experience working with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. Most recently, I shared my home with two beloved senior cats, one diabetic and the other living with inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis. Caring for them required administering medications, monitoring their health, and providing extra patience and attention. When I traveled, I relied heavily on trusted pet sitters to ensure they received their daily care, including injections and medications. After recently saying goodbye to both of my cats, I'm taking some time to heal while channeling my love for animals into helping other pet parents. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I would be honored to provide the same dependable, compassionate care that meant so much to me. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, medication administration, or simply a caring presence while you're away, I'll treat them as if they were my own. ❤️🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I keep food, water, and litter areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet by providing dependable, attentive care and treating your home and animals with the same respect I would my own.
Ratings and reviews
To the Rover Team, I am pleased to recommend my daughter, Shawna, as a pet sitter. She has cared for my Shih Tzu, Molly, many times over the years, and I have always felt completely confident leaving Molly in her care. Shawna is responsible, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. Molly is part of our family, and Shawna treats her as if she were her own pet. She makes sure Molly is fed on schedule, gets plenty of attention and affection, and is always comfortable and well cared for. Molly is excited every time she sees Shawna, which says a lot about the bond they have built. What stands out most is Shawna's patience and attentiveness. She notices the little things, pays attention to Molly's needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure she is happy and safe. I would highly recommend Shawna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have her caring for their furry family members. Sincerely, Gerry Lawhorn Molly's Proud Owner

Schedule
I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. Because I can work from anywhere with an internet connection, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine, whether that means frequent dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I'm available to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible and can give dogs plenty of exercise and attention while making sure cats receive the care, affection, and monitoring they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be responsive to each pet's individual needs and provide peace of mind while you're away.
