Loving & Patient- All Breeds/Sizes!

Pet care experience

I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies! I love dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I am patient and understand that each individual dog and cat has their own personality and quirks. Looking forward to getting to know them! I have worked with and lived with mostly large dogs my entire life, but I am no stranger to the small ones as well. I know what a pet means to your family and want to take the best care of them. I work with various rescue organizations to try to re-home pets as well. I believe in genuine kindness for all animals and living things. I would like to meet you and discuss your pets needs and likes before I take care of them, if possible, but I know this isn’t always doable.

Shawn was incredible with both of our cats, we were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in good hands! It was clear that they immediately warmed up to her, I'm so glad that they had someone to keep them company while we were gone. The communication was clear and detailed and it was amazing getting to see them enjoying play time and attention. Thank you again for everything!!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to make sure to follow their normal routine, so as not to further confuse them with the change of their parents being away. I do what they feel best about- if they are afraid, I do not force them to let me pet them. I am patient and wait for them to feel comfortable and come to me. If they like belly rubs, I give belly rubs. When they want to play, we play! If I can sense they just want a cuddle session, we do that. They tell me. ❤️ I am respectful of other people’s places and things and treat someone else’s home better than my own. I listen to what the owner’s wishes are and do what they are comfortable with. I also have pets and know it takes a lot of trust to let a stranger into your home. (I also encourage pet owners to have pet cams! I love mine, especially when they are home alone so I can check on them!)

Information Shawn A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to go over with you the needs and likes of your pet before I take care of them. I would like to meet them to see if they like me as well. I am open to all breeds, sizes, temperaments. And I love cats! **Please make sure that all details about your pet is filled out on Rover before sending me a booking request. Please make sure all animals that require care have profiles filled out so that they are fully protected under Rover’s insurance.

A typical day

I like to play catch and go on many walks! I would like to chat with you about what works best for your loved one and I would like to personalize our activities to what you feel most comfortable with- and what the dog or cat enjoys! There most definitely will be pets and cuddles.

I love taking care of your pets but I am doing it part-time. I know someone was angry I wasn’t available full time and gave me a bad review, and I’m sorry about that! But I am reliable and punctual and put my all into taking care of animals!! ❤️
