The calm in the storm

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 always does a great job. When he is house sitting I feel assured my house and my dog are in great hands.

Shawn house sat for us and took care of our 15 pound miniature Poodle over the Christmas holidays. He took Oliver on regular walks and left our home exactly how we did. We would happily book with him again!

Ruby is happy and well exercised with Shawn--a good thing for a setter. Shawn is a great house/dog sitter and our regular.

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.

Information Shawn B. would like to know about your pet

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.
