Pet care experience

Big or Small, I love them all!

I’m 38 and have taken care of the animals & homes of family, friends, acquaintances & Rover clients for over 15 years. Rover is my only job so I devote my full attention to the animals. I’ve cared for all animal types and sizes ranging from 125+ lb German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees & Pitbulls to tiny French Bulldogs, Sheepadoodles, cats, rabbits, potbelly pigs and fish. I honestly love all animals and in my spare time I frequently visit the Cincinnati Zoo & Newport Aquarium. I have experience administering pills and insulin shots to animals. My schedule is very open and allows me to provide essentially 24/7 animal care.

Safety, trust & environment

I've frequently been known to go above and beyond for pets that I've tended to. For example, I was paid by a family friend to simply feed and let out her 2 dogs outside for a 5 minute bathroom break in the backyard, but with the owner's permission I frequently would personally choose to take them on sometimes hour long walks instead for the fresh air and exercise. I also try to walk dogs on a new path around the block, or take them to new parks or places when able to, as often as I can since I am a big believer in mental stimulation, enrichment and providing new activities for animals when possible.

This is our second time using Sean, and once again he exceeded every expectation. He truly treats our dogs like they’re his own, and it’s obvious how much he cares about them. We never have to worry while we’re away because he provides thoughtful updates and gives our pups so much love and attention. This trip was especially challenging because we had some issues with a kitchen renovation, but Sean was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with through it. We always come home to happy dogs and a house that’s just as clean as when we left. Finding someone that is trustworthy and dependable is rare. We can’t recommend Sean enough and will use him for every trip we take.

Sean did a wonderful job caring for our two senior dogs and two cats while we were in Florida. He went above and beyond to make sure all of their extra needs were taken care of, and it gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was clean and well cared for, and our pets were happy and relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely hire Shawn again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sean was great with the dogs and with giving us status updates. The dogs seemed to love him. Would definitely book Sean again.

Sean stayed with our senior Pomeranian, Bear, for 10 days over spring break, and he is simply the best. Bear can be quite a handful—he needs frequent bathroom breaks, medications, shoes, pills, and eye drops—but Sean handled everything with care and patience. One of the things we appreciate most is Sean’s availability to spend most of the time at our house. That made a huge difference for Bear, especially with his small bladder and need for consistency in his routine. Sean also always leaves our home in perfect order, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Best of all, he provides thoughtful updates and pictures during our trips, so we always know Bear is happy and well cared for. To anyone looking for high-quality, dependable pet care, we always recommend Sean without hesitation. He takes wonderful care of our senior pup and our home—we’re so grateful to have him!

I enjoy all dogs and cats. Obviously friendly and accepting towards new people is a plus. I've previously cared for my own cat and others' dogs ranging in size from 100+ lb German Shepherds to tiny French Bulldogs. I truly like animals of all types and sizes.
