Friendly Neighborhood Dog Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi there! If you want to get away for the weekend or have an event and need someone with experience that you can trust to watch your dog, I’m your guy! I grew up in a house with five cats and one dog. My mom is your typical cat lady, I loved all of our cats. I had a mixed beagle for a dog. I always helped take care of all of our pets since I was 7. Feeding, walking, and cleaning up after them. I just fell in love with animals. I never labeled an animal good or bad, because I know that it’s all about how you treat them that matters. I love different personalities. I think that’s what makes animas so fun and unique. My wife’s mom is a master dog trainer so I learned a lot from her. I’ve taught dogs how to speak, sit and give their paw. I love going for walks and playing fetch with dogs too. I think it’s important that they get any excess energy out so that they are better behaved. Through my entire life I always act with integrity and respect. I will never do anything that you were not OK with. I’d like to over communicate rather than under communicate. I like to talk a lot before hand so I can get a clear understanding of what you would like. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

Shawn and his wife Crystal were wonderful with my super high energy, nervous pup. They offered to meet him before drop off to ensure he would be comfortable and sent frequent updates and pictures during Taters stay! Will deff be using them again.

Shawn was an awesome sitter for Mac while my wife and I were at a family function!! He was responsive, extremely friendly and attentive to our dog, and even worked on some basic obedience commands with him. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a caring sitter and will be working with him again.

Shawn was amazing with our dogs while we went away for the weekend. Our dogs are very high energy but Shawn made sure they were tired at the end of the day! He sent us pictures of them going for a run, a hike, and playing in the back yard all day. It was great. I would recommend him for any dog owner.

Me and my wife have 1/3 acre so that leaves plenty of backyard for your fur baby to run around and play in! I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise (if needed of course). We have plenty of room in our 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house for your pet! If you need me to crate your pet, that is not an issue at all as I have done this before. The dogs I’ve watched before have usually become good friends after their stay!
