Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I follow whatever instructions you leave with me and will try and keep them on their normal schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible. I also provide daily updates so you can know your loved one is safe and sound. I'm currently working nights part time and have a girlfriend living with me who works from home so your dog will almost always have someone home with them. I have a single family home and a fenced in yard so your dog will safe, sound, and super comfortable. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, unless you prefer otherwise. It's a two level single family home with a 6 foot vinyl around the entire back yard and two gates to get out of the yard along with two doors to reach the outside since the first one leads to an enclosed front porch. The first gate in the yard leads to an easement that is also fenced in and has another gate that is needed to exit.
Reviews
Shawn took great care of Donut. He provided daily photos and updates, and my dog was super happy to be staying with him. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using his services going forward
I was incredibly nervous leaving my baby to go away but Shawn was absolutely incredible and put my mind at ease! He is an excellent communicator and such a kind, gentle person. M’Lady warmed up to him immediately when we had our “meet and greet” and I knew we found our person. While I was away, Shawn updated me throughout the day with pictures and videos and put my mind at ease knowing that she was in a loving environment. I’m so relieved and grateful to have found him, as is M’Lady, and I cannot wait to book with him in the future! ☺️
Cally had a wonderful time with Shawn and all of the fur babies he was caring for at the time. He even let her cuddle in bed at night which I know she loves! He’s a very attentive sitter and I highly recommend him to others!
Thank you Shawn for taking such great care of my furbaby Santana! He's in such hands under your care.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets as if they are my own because I think of them as a family member that you are trusting me with. Safety is always the #1 priority above all else. That being said we adore dogs here and they will receive tons of pets and love during their stay. As long as they're housebroken they have access to the entire downstairs, they are allowed on the furniture, and they can sleep upstairs with me if they prefer. If they are friendly they typically will have someone to play with but if they aren't we can accommodate that as well. I try and keep their routine add similar to the one they follow at home so they can be as comfortable as possible.
Home
Information Shawn D. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any allergies or anything they shouldn't have (toys/food)? What medications do they take if any? What's there typical schedule like? Are they friendly with other dogs? Where do they like to sleep at night?
A typical day
I live less than a mile from the bay and a beautiful waterfront park where I love to take dogs for a walks up to 3 miles but it can be much less for those with tiny legs. If they are dog friendly I have a fully fenced in yard where they can run around with each other or play fetch as well.

Availability
I spend multiple hours a day caring for dogs and while it's a job, it never feels like actual work because I love getting to spend time with so many fun dogs.
