Safety, trust & environment

I love playing with animals and getting them all tuckered out so they feel well appreciated. I often will lose track of time when playing with my cat since I have so much fun with it.

Information Shawn J. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate knowing what kind of play your pet likes the most so I can get right to that and not have to try and use toys they don't enjoy as much, I want them to has as much fun as possible!

A typical day

I love taking dogs to trails around my house for walks and have even started taking my cats as well. They seem to enjoy it quite a bit!

Pet care experience

I have had pets since I was 6 years old and have had lots of experience with multiple types of animals. Growing up we primarily had dogs and cats but I also had fish, a hamster, and have cared for ferrets as well. I can tell pretty much all I need to know about someone from how they interact with animals / how an animal interacts with them and have yet to find an animal that didn't trust me right off the bat.

Shawn took good care of Leo and Piper while I was away. He made sure they were cared for, spent time playing with them, and kept me updated on how they were doing. I especially appreciated that he let me know when Piper wasn’t eating and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. It was reassuring knowing they were in good hands.

Shawn is reliable and communicates in a timely manner. This was our first time using Rover and Shawn came daily for 2 weeks for our cats. Our cat litter box and their dishes were as clean as we left them upon our return. We would definitely use Shawn again.
