Shawn has been amazing to work with! Our pup can be difficult but he seems to love her and cooperates with her. 10/10 would recommend her. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and always willing to help.

This is our second time using Shawn for dog sitting and she is truly such a pleasure! My dog absolutely loves her and her husband. She sends photos of him having fun with other pets and just having fun in general. I really feel at ease knowing he is safe and in such good hands!
