Pet care experience

Experienced and loving caretaker!

I grew up with cats and dogs both in my home and the homes of close family members, and currently own three cats. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, and worked at a grooming salon for over 3 years. This means I’m very experienced in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, including dogs with special needs. I’m also experienced in administering medications to both dogs and cats. My availability is typically early-mid mornings, and early afternoons. I love being around and walking/playing with animals, and miss being able to work with animals all day the way I used to. I would love to take your dog for a run or to a park for play, or stop in to give your furry companions some attention and playtime at home. I am outgoing and friendly, and strive to give animals the best level of care possible!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I really enjoy the company and companionship that pets can provide. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and have no issues working with pets who may need a little more patience. At my home, pets are typically not alone for more than a couple hours since there’s usually somebody home most of the day. The home is quiet and not busy with many people coming and going, so it’s a great calm environment for any pet.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our German Shepherd and Husky during our week away. From the start, she was communicative, attentive, and clearly experienced with larger, high-energy breeds. She sent us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. She also handled our German Shepherd perfectly, even on his more stubborn “butthead” moments — with patience, confidence, and care. It was obvious she knew exactly how to read him and respond appropriately. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring sitter.

Shawnee provided us with pictures and updates while we were out of town. We were delightfully surprised at how well our dog loved her, too! We will definitely be using Shawnee again!! She is awesome!

Shawnee did an excellent job house sitting & watching our girl Missy during our vacation. This was our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure of what to expect. But, we were absolutely thrilled knowing that Missy was well taken care of & loved while we were away. She went above & beyond to help care for Missy, and she also took excellent care of the house too! 100% would recommend!

Shawnee is fabulous! It’s so great not to worry about your pet while you’re gone and know they’re being loved on.

Shawnee is the best! Our pup is pretty nervous around new people and she actually ate while we were gone. That’s pretty impressive. This was our first experience with Rover and will certainly be booking again.

I love and welcome all dog breeds and sizes. I like to know any “special” information about the dog before sitting - if they have any medical issues, are/are not good with other dogs/cats/etc., and boundaries that you typically set for them (for example: they are/aren’t allowed on furniture or in certain rooms, not allowed to eat table scraps, are allowed only a certain number of treats per day, etc.). I’ve found that these preferences are different for everyone and want to make sure I can be as consistent with yours as possible!
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.
