About Shannon Gallagher:

My name is Shannon! I am 35 years old. I am a working professional, with the luxury of having a remote job as a Consultant where I can remote travel within the United States and still bring home a paycheck :). I am excited to begin this journey and pride myself on being respectful and clean when staying in other people's homes. I used to dog and cat sit for Rover, so I am also very experienced in caring for other people's furry animal friends. 


I grew up in rural Connecticut, so have also been exposed to caring for some farm animals (although I would not consider myself an expert), and know my way around a few tools. 

I do have a cat named Charlie who has come with me on previous house sits and is very respectful. I would never bring her if you as the owner do not feel comfortable, but wanted to be up front about this possibility.

Homeowner in Alexandria, Virginia

Home Security: One of my primary responsibilities was to keep the house secure. I made sure all doors and windows were locked and double-checked the alarm system to guarantee its functionality. This gave my friend peace of mind knowing their property was safe.

Mail and Packages: I collected the mail and any delivered packages regularly. This not only prevented a buildup of mail but also gave the impression that someone was home, deterring potential burglars.

Pet Care: My friend has two lovely dogs who are prone to anxiety when my friend is gone, so I ensured they received the attention, love, and care they needed. Daily walks, feeding, and playtime kept their spirits high and made sure they didn't feel lonely during my friend's absence.

Plant Care: To maintain the indoor plants and garden, I watered them as needed and ensured they received adequate sunlight.

Routine Checks: I conducted regular checks around the house to ensure everything was in working order. This included inspecting appliances, plumbing, and the HVAC system. In the event of any issues, I promptly contacted my friend's preferred service providers for repairs.

Emergency Contact: I provided my friend with my contact information and assured them that I would be readily available in case of any emergencies. This way, they could enjoy their trip with confidence, knowing that I was only a phone call away.

Home Cleaning: I maintained the cleanliness of the home by performing light cleaning duties such as sweeping, dusting, and taking out the trash. Coming back to a clean and organized home is always a pleasant surprise after a trip.
