Pet care experience
Next Best Thing to Being Home
I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, including large breeds and senior pets. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping an eye on older pets, and cleaning up accidents if they happen outside their normal potty area. I’ve also cared for multiple pets at once, looked after regular clients long-term, and handled unexpected situations when they come up. I’m happy to do overnight stays, too. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I’m totally okay with that. If your dog needs a certain routine before bed, your cat has a specific way they like to eat, or you have some funny little ritual that keeps them happy, I’ll happily follow it. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away, so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to hang out with, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m also happy to help with things around the house while I’m there, like bringing in mail or taking out the trash. If something unexpected or concerning comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you’ve left for emergencies. Before a booking, I’m more than happy to meet you and your pets so you can show me their routine and I can get to know them a little. My goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

Ratings and reviews
Shawn was awesome with our two dogs while we were away on vacation. I could check in on them, and he would send updates, which was really nice. It honestly felt so much better having them stay at home with Shawn instead of boarding them somewhere. I knew they were in good hands the whole time. Highly recommend.
Really happy with how well Shawn took care of my dog! She seemed happy and well taken care of when I got back. I could tell she was in good hands with Shawn. Would definitely have him watch her again!
Shawn was great with my dog! He was super trustworthy, flexible, and reliable. He kept me updated on everything while I was away, which was really nice. I’d definitely use Shawn again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good dog sitter!
Shawn has watched and cared for our whole family’s fur babies (cats and dogs) He loves animals and they love him. He follows all care and feeding instructions and we feel very comfortable leaving our pets in his care. I highly recommend him.
Shawn has cared our dog, Lotus, many times. Shawn loves animals and we never have to worry about our pets when we’re gone. Lotus is always happy to see him. I would definitely recommend Shawn.
Pets seem to love Shawn. He was very gentle but also playful with our dog, Ginger. She loved snuggling with him. She was well fed and cared for per our instruction. Would definitely recommend!

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and can usually work around whatever your pets need. I’m happy to do mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m single with very few scheduling restrictions, so I’m able to be pretty flexible and accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when I can. My goal is to make things as easy and convenient as possible for both you and your pets.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I’m happy to go over a clear emergency plan with you before a stay, including your preferred vet, emergency contact, and exactly what you’d like me to do if something unexpected happens. I currently don’t have any pets of my own at home. I recently lost my childhood pet, so having a companion around would honestly be something I’d really enjoy. Your pet would have my full attention and be treated like my own while they’re here. I’m also very aware of potential pet hazards, including toxic plants and unsafe household items, and I’m happy to follow any specific safety instructions or routines your pet needs.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about following your pet’s routine and giving them the kind of attention they’re used to. I’m active and love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures, but I’m just as happy to slow things down and have a relaxed day if that’s what your pet prefers. If your pet wants to spend the day playing, going on walks, exploring, or getting some extra exercise, I’m up for it! If they’d rather cuddle on the couch, nap beside me, or just have some quiet company, I’m perfectly happy doing that too. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible.
