Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I follow whatever instructions you leave with me and will try and keep them on their normal schedule so they feel as comfortable as possible. I also provide daily updates so you can know your loved one is safe and sound. I'm currently working nights part time and have a girlfriend living with me who works from home so your dog will almost always have someone home with them. I have a single family home and a fenced in yard so your dog will safe, sound, and super comfortable. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, unless you prefer otherwise. It's a two level single family home with a 6 foot vinyl around the entire back yard and two gates to get out of the yard along with two doors to reach the outside since the first one leads to an enclosed front porch. The first gate in the yard leads to an easement that is also fenced in and has another gate that is needed to exit.
Reviews
Shawn is great with dogs. He sent us daily updates and pictures for our dog. He was having so much fun with Shawn that we weren’t sure whether he would want to come home!
Shawn was great with my dog. He sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day, which made me feel at ease leaving my dog with him. He is very attentive and does an amazing job. I will be using him from now on when I need a dog sitter. 10/10 recommend!
Shawn has been walking my two dogs 3-4 times a week for over a year now. My boys adore him and he has become a part of our family. He always makes me feel like they are safe and in good hands; the love he has for them is as if they’re his very own. Shawn always sends daily updates on the dogs activities, whether ate/drank/pooped (lol)/etc. I know I can only speak for myself, but I think most people would agree that it is very hard to find someone you can trust the life of your loved one with. And for me, Shawn is exactly that person. I trust him with their lives. I know how much he cares for all animals, and I know I can always count on him. I would recommend him to anyone, and so would my boys.
Shawn is amazing with my pup Stella! He watches her regularly, sometimes for just a day and other times for multiple weeks. It’s puts my mind at ease to know Shawn is taking care of her while I travel for work. He keeps in constant communication with me throughout the day including pictures and videos. She jumps right out of my car and to him everytime I drop her off. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a sitter. He shows genuine love to all the dogs that came to his home.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your pets as if they are my own because I think of them as a family member that you are trusting me with. Safety is always the #1 priority above all else. That being said we adore dogs here and they will receive tons of pets and love during their stay. As long as they're housebroken they have access to the entire downstairs, they are allowed on the furniture, and they can sleep upstairs with me if they prefer. If they are friendly they typically will have someone to play with but if they aren't we can accommodate that as well. I try and keep their routine add similar to the one they follow at home so they can be as comfortable as possible.
Home
Information Shawn D. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any allergies or anything they shouldn't have (toys/food)? What medications do they take if any? What's there typical schedule like? Are they friendly with other dogs? Where do they like to sleep at night?
A typical day
I live less than a mile from the bay and a beautiful waterfront park where I love to take dogs for a walks up to 3 miles but it can be much less for those with tiny legs. If they are dog friendly I have a fully fenced in yard where they can run around with each other or play fetch as well.

I spend multiple hours a day caring for dogs and while it's a job, it never feels like actual work because I love getting to spend time with so many fun dogs.
