House Sitting • lug 21, 2026

Shawn has watched the "Kids" twice for us in our home when we had to go out of town, and let me just say, he's one of the best dog/home sitters you'll find on Rover. I've tried a few different sitters over the years, and Shawn J. is the only one I'll use again. One of the most reliable, caring sitters on this site. DO NOT HESITATE to book him to watch your pets/home. There is no price you can put on peace of mind while away. Book him today!

Highly recommend Shawn. He is incredibly dependable, punctual, and pays close attention to every detail. He has such a big heart, a calm and caring presence, and it’s clear he genuinely loves and understands dogs. He’s the kind of person you can fully trust to show up, do an excellent job, and care for your pets as if they were his own.
