Highlights
Pet care experience
Come rover to Auntie's place!
What sets my care apart is a lifelong commitment to canine wellness backed by professional CPR and First Aid certification. Having raised a German Shepherd to the remarkable age of 13, I specialize in the attentive, 'royal' treatment required for large breeds and senior dogs who need extra orthopedic or medical consideration. Whether your dog is an athlete ready for obstacle courses and doggy yoga or a senior who prefers to 'Netflix and chill,' I provide a level of safety and socialization most sitters can’t. My home is specifically chosen for pet convenience, featuring an enclosed on-site relief area for stress-free, middle-of-the-night potty breaks. From puppy energy to geriatric care, your dog isn't just being watched—they are being cared for by an Aunt who treats every guest like the princess (or prince) they are.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you for treating our boy so well. it looked like he had a lot of fun and probably didn’t want to come back.
This sitter goes above and beyond without a doubt. I would trust my dog, and anyone else's with her. She was so extremely professional, and gave tons of updates. She was flexible with our schedule, if I could give more stars I would!
Shawn took my boy Henry at the last minute and she was very attentive, took my dog in lots of walks. My dog was very happy. I highly recommend Shawn.

Schedule
I work full-time during the week and am available for boarding on the weekends and walks during the week (morning, late afternoons, and evenings). If you need care during the week, then I prefer for your pet to be crate trained. If your pet is not crate trained yet, then weekends are highly preferred. I can also work with your pet to be comfortable in a crate (if needed).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets in my apartment, so my full attention can be focused on caring for yours. Your dog will always be walked on a leash. There will be at least two long walks with a short walk in between. If your dog wants to go for more walks...then of course!!! Your dog will get lots of love and treats (if you allow). Feeding time(s) depends on the doggy's regular routine. I want to make your furbaby feel as close to home as possible since he/she is in a new environment.
A typical day
A typical dog day involves stimulation through play, practicing common commands, going for walks around the neighborhood, and spending time at the local enclosed dog play area in the navy yard. If your dog does best with short walks and 'chilling' at home, then we can do that too.
