I work from home 99% of the time. This has allowed me to delve into the pet care realm. Each day I walk my dog, Abby, in the morning and evening at least 1 mile each time. Sometimes we go running for a couple miles first with a 1 mile cool down. Friday nights I meet with friends for dinner who have dogs they bring as well. Over the summer I go camping often so the schedule may vary.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t allow my dog on beds or furniture without approval. I don’t mind dogs on them, but figure it’s good training to not jump on other peoples furniture when I visit. Water is always available. Dog door to use restroom when needed into a fenced backyard.

Shawn did an excellent job caring for our 1 yr old miniature poodle, Lucy. He faced several challenges since this was her first experience with in home dog sitting, and he did a good job of handling them. Lucy had a great time with Shawn's dog Abby

Leo had a great day staying with Shawn and Abby. Shawn played with Leo and took him for a walk. Abby is the sweetest girl and was so sweet to share Shawn with Leo.
