Reviews
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!
I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention my puppies received. Shawn was amazing and kept me updated throughout our trip. I highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again.
What can I say except Shawn was absolutely amazing. As soon as we met her my dog jumped in her lap I knew she was good peoples. She sent me pictures of him having fun and kept me updated. I have definitely found a sitter I trust!
