Shawn was great and very communicative. Our boys had a great time, and I could tell they were given lots of attention. This was a very last minute booking, and luckily he was able to accommodate us. We would definitely book with Shawn again!

Shawn did an awesome job. His place is very neat and tidy so I never had to worry about my dogs eating something left on the ground (like pens). He took them on several walks per day and was very communicative. Both my dogs had recently been sick and he did a good job making sure they were healthy. At this time Shawn works from home which was also awesome because I knew my dogs wouldn't be alone for long periods of time each day. Overall a great stay. Thanks Shawn!

Shawn was great! He gave me updates and pictures on Koda daily. He was very accommodating on Koda eating and potty schedule. Koda got sick and went above and beyond to notify me and take care of him as well. I also came home late and he drove and drop Koda at my house without requesting him to. Overall great guy and would definitely be booking with him again.

Shawn has been a good friend of mine for many years and he has looked after my dog on numerous occasions. Him and my 75 pound rottie/doberman named Penny are best friends. The way he cares, interacts, and plays with her, gives me no doubt that he would be a great fit for anyone looking for daily dog walks or longer term dog sitting. I just wish he lived closer so that I could use him!

I would recommend Shawn to anyone who doesn’t want to worry about their dog when away. Shawn was very caring, punctual, affordable and had an instant connection with my dog. Will use again!

Safety, trust & environment

At my home or my client’s home, I offer comprehensive pet care tailored to the specific needs of each furry friend. This includes feeding them according to their dietary requirements, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I maintain a clean and safe environment for them to thrive in, whether it’s through regular grooming, cleaning up after them, or keeping their living space tidy. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the same level of love and attention they receive from their owners, ensuring they feel happy, healthy, and well-cared-for throughout their stay.

Parks where they can get a good run in is important. Also like walking around Hoyt lake and Delaware park for longer walks. Shorter walks if the weather is horrible especially if it’s freezing. Don’t want to hurt the paws!
