Passionate Pet Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Shawn G., and I am here for you and your pets! I have two dogs of my own and I consider them to be my children. My wife and I take our dogs to the dog park and on hikes every weekend. A properly exercised dog is a good dog! I provide excellent and meticulous care of animals because they mean so much to me. I grew up on a farm in the midwest where I learned that animals give relentless, genuine love, and there's no reason we shouldn't return the favor. I firmly believe our pets deserve our full love and attention, especially as most of our lives are extremely hectic and busy. I was also a mulitple All-American college athlete and therefore, will have no issues running and tiring out your pups! When I am not providing excellent service to you and your pets, I am busy studying for the Florida Bar. I currently am licensed to practice law in Missouri and recently moved back to St. Louis from Seattle to practice Elder Law. Our dogs were a huge consideration, as they enjoy the new fenced yard, squirrels and deer. My prices are subject to change based on the needs of your pet and your desires. This means the pricing can go up or they can go down. This is something we may discuss at detail during meet and greets or on the phone at the time of your interest in my services. Please let me know how I can best provide the love and attention your pet needs and deserves! Best Wishes, Shawn G.

Shawn did a great job watching our dogs. They seemed really comfortable around him, and we received ton of updates and pics!

Derry and I totally enjoy Shawn. He is reliable and very good with wary dogs. We got interrupted by Covid-19 concerns, but will definitely rebook when this is over.

After working with Shawn for the first time in December, he has housesat & watched our two dogs a couple more times and has quickly become their & our favorite! He is so wonderful with the pups and communicative with us. Lots of walks, photos, and fun. We'd recommend Shawn to anyone!

Shawn is fantastic! Both our pups loved him house sitting while we were out of town for a week. He's curtious and kept regular updates with pictures and our shy girl who doesn't take to almost anyone grew quite fond of him. Would absolutely trust him to house and puppy sit again.

Information Shawn G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences here. I love all dogs and animals! I would love to know what the animal enjoys. Each walk and sit should be designed specifically for the specific client. I would also like to know what the animal dislikes, as well as, allergies.

A typical day

First off with new customers, I generally dont like to venture to far from my home or their home. They will have toys, walks and the fenced yard for entertainment. Once the dog is comfortable with me and the arrangement I love to visit Queeny Park and Castlewood park.
