Large fluffy dogs are the best

Pet care experience

I have been around a variety of animals my entire life! Currently we have a 2 year old Newfoundland. We love the big and fluffy dogs. Winston loves making new friends to play with. We have a large fenced in Yard (5 foot tall fence). I have raised huskies for 12 years, so I have experience with the energetic, hyper active dog breeds. I also have experience with many other animals as I have had them as pets previously (cats, lizards, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds). I prefer to pet sit for only one family at a time. This is for your pets safety as well as my dogs. I was a vet tech for 12 years. I am comfortable giving medications (oral, injection, topical, eye drops). I have experience with young and older dogs.

Second time using Shawn and my pup had a blast again. They are very accommodating to his needs and send plenty of photo updates. He was nice and tired when we picked him up as he loves playtime with their dog.

A vaca for your pups. Brady and Jules have the best time when they come here. They’re so excited when they arrive. I never have to worry and get daily updates, pics and videos. They love playing in the yard and hanging with their fur friend. And when they come home they are completely worn out. Would definitely recommend Shawn and her lovely home for all your pet sitting needs.

Our two golden retrievers seemed to have a great time with Shawn while we were away! She was very thoughtful in her care for our older dog (14.5!) which we really appreciated. Shawn sent us multiple pictures and updates each day. At the end of the weekend, the dogs came home tired and happy. ?

Dogs are fed twice a day and sepetate from one another. Food bowls are not left out during the day. There is always access to fresh water. Dogs sleep in the bedroom with us at night. The back yard is fully fenced in (15 steps down). I also have a ti-out in the front yard for senior dogs who are not good with stairs. The kitchen and living room area are baby gated off. Gates are only shut when needed. Otherwise dogs have full access to 1st and 2nd floor. Winston is very friendly and loves them company of other dogs (playing or lounging togeher).

Typically first potty break is around 6am and bedtime around 9pm. During the day dogs can go outside every few hours as needed. I currently primarily telework 3 days a week, and go in person to the office 2 days a week. Dogs are welcome in the home office and will get let out throughout the day. When I have to go in person, dogs are kenneled. My in person days are typically 9 hour days.
