Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As an educator currently pursuing another degree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m also an early bird, so morning walks, feedings, and potty breaks are already part of my day. I have an established daily routine with my own two dogs that I can easily incorporate into caring for your pet, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and care. I intentionally keep my schedule organized so I can provide dependable care while keeping you updated and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on providing care that keeps your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in the environment they know best. Whether I’m house sitting, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking your dog on a walk, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. As a pet owner myself, I treat every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own two dogs—with patience, kindness, and genuine attention. I believe trust is the foundation of every relationship between a pet sitter, a pet, and their owner. My goal is to earn that trust by providing dependable care, respecting your home, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind while you’re away.

Information DeShawn S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know anything that will help me give your pet the best care possible. Tell me about their personality, daily routine, favorite toys or activities, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, and how they interact with people or other animals. I also appreciate knowing any commands they respond to and any quirks that make them unique. The more I know ahead of time, the more comfortable, safe, and enjoyable their experience will be while you’re away.

A typical day

Tail wags are the goal! Every pet is different, so I love finding the activities that make them happiest. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, sniff adventures, belly rubs, or simply hanging out together, I’ll make sure they stay active, entertained, and loved. I also enjoy practicing basic obedience with positive reinforcement when appropriate. My goal is for your pet to have so much fun and feel so comfortable that they can’t wait for our next visit!

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals my entire life and currently have two German Shepherds, Bella and Enzo, whom I’ve personally trained in basic obedience using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Caring for them has given me experience with energetic, intelligent dogs and the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. As a music educator, I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to detail—qualities that naturally carry over into how I care for pets. I’m comfortable with active, high-energy dogs as well as those who need a slower pace or extra attention. My goal is to treat every pet like family, providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

As a dog owners, we know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Deshawn has experience caring for two German Shepherds, so he understands the patience, consistency, and attention dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. His love for animals is genuine, and it shows in the way he cares for every pet he meets. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to keep them company, Deshawn will make sure they feel loved and well cared for. He’s dependable, compassionate, and treats every dog like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will provide exceptional care and give them peace of mind while they’re away.
