Safety, trust & environment

My philosophy centers on creating a safe, nurturing environment. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety first. I familiarize myself with a pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring a secure and comfortable atmosphere. I believe in the importance of trust, which I foster through consistency, gentle handling, and open communication with pet owners.

I am equipped with dog first aid knowledge and have basic CPR skills. While I hope never to use them, I'm always prepared to ensure the utmost safety for the dogs under my care.

A typical day

A Day with Shawn: Each day is meticulously planned for fun and care. We kick-start mornings with an invigorating walk, exploring local trails or parks that I’ve discovered over the years. Playtime is integral, with fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys. The evening winds down with a calm stroll, ensuring your pet returns relaxed and content.

Pet care experience

A Decade of Canine Connection: With 10 years immersed in the world of dogs, I bring an abundance of experience. Trustworthy & Vetted: Backed with a verified background check and Rover 101 certification. Your Dog's Zen Master: I'm the calming presence every pet needs. Growing up, every memorable moment had a dog in it. I often imagine myself as the dog at the park – the one that easily bonds with every furry friend. Though my globe-trotting wrestling career has kept me from owning a pet, it has never dimmed my love for them. Joining Rover is my way of rekindling that connection. I approach every dog as though they're my own, showering them with care, affection, and respect. My athletic background ensures your pet enjoys energetic runs and discovers exciting locales. Every day with me promises a blend of adventure and comfort.

Shawn really helped us out in a last-minute situation, where we were out of town and lost connection with our cats’ automatic feeder. He was flexible, responsive and reliable. I highly recommend him!

Shawn and his family took good care of our senior dog Cookie while we were away for 3 weeks. He sent us some sweet photos of Cookie and his daughter. Cookie had a fainting spell (she has a known condition) while we were gone and he took care of everything as expected. We came home to a happy and content dog. I would give 5 stars, but the house was a bit dirty when we returned.

Shawn took great care of our kitties for a longer-term trip and was very responsive to messages and made sure that we knew how they were doing every day. Would book again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
