Animal Lover Here To Help
Pet care experience
For my whole life I have helped many neighbors and friends take care of their animals. I have watched dogs of all kinds, including mixed breeds, a Rottweiler, a Pitbull mix, a Standard Poodle, Shih Tzus, Chihuahua and more. I walked them, played with them, feed them, gave them medication if necessary, helped train them, and did overnights when needed. I have taken care of a blind dog, anxious dogs, rescue dogs, and strong, big dogs. I have love in my heart for any kind of dog and am willing to help you with your best friend in any way you need.
Reviews
I have known Shawn for 15+ years and am so honored she asked me to write this recommendation. There are many desirable characteristics Shawn possesses; Loyalty, Communication, & Respectfulness, just to scratch the surface. I have not met anyone that compares to her unconditional love for animals of all shapes and sizes. She has been known to care for her own adopted furry friends as well as rescues in her community. Shawn treats everyone with respect and can befriend even the most timid to the most high energy of friends. She is the kind of person who says text me when you get home and follows up when you don't. Any pet owner would feel at ease knowing her tender love and care is being provided to their furry companions. If you need any additional support in your decision I am more than happy to provide additional examples of her extensive experience.
Shawn is legitimately one of the 4 people I will trust with my dogs. She listens closely to their needs from as (both have heath issues) and follows all instructions to the letter. She will roll around on the floor playing with the dogs for hours, if the dogs are in a snuggly mood she will happily meet that need as well. Our dogs absolutely love her. When they see her they are so overjoyed! I cannot recommend Shawn highly enough to care for someone’s animals!!
Shawn is amazing carer for dogs. She’s been walking my dogs for many years and is always energetic, happy, and responsible. My dogs love her. I’ve also hired Shawn to stay at my house to dogsit when I’ve been on vacation and she’s honestly the only person I’ve trusted to do this. She always takes amazing care of them. My dogs are now older and take a lot of medications. She’s been responsible for giving them medications on time, meeting their needs, feeding them and more. She’s so loving and I always trust that their needs will be met. Seeing how she was able to meet their high energy needs when they were puppies to now when they need more geriatric care, Shawn’s been adaptive and given them the right level of care and exercise. I’d highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment
I will listen to any and all rules given to me for the safety of your dog. I have experience using crates, fences, retractable leashes, and heavy metal leashes. Your dogs safety is my first priority. When under my care I will never leave your dog alone.
Information Shawn G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog likes strangers, has a petting preference, has food restrictions, if they like other dogs, and anything else you think I should know.
A typical day
I love to decide the activities we do based on the dog! Some dogs need to run and let out a lot of energy, while some want to gently wrestle with a toy. I am open to both! I love to take dogs on long walks and let them smell around, play tug of war, or sit on the couch and cuddle, whatever makes the dog happy.
