CALLING ALL #VEGASSTRONG FUR FAMILIES!!! Look no further because you’ve found your fur baby’s next stand-in best friend! I am a dog loving person and professional trainer from Washington, DC. I moved to the Vegas area Oct 2022. I've been caring for dogs professionally for about 7 years now but have always been around the fur babies of friends and family since a child. In this time I have walked and cared for quite a few dogs ranging in size, breed and personality! I'm generally a very active person so if your dog loves running alongside you as you bike/run, I look forward to being your stand-in when you're not around to do so! I also just LOVE playing with dogs whether its inside with their favorite toy or outdoors at their favorite park. I am super nurturing and LOVE to snuggle and cuddle with the best of them. I'm also very attentive and would have no problem caring for your fur baby if they're on any medications or have conditions that need extra support and care like massages. I’m a freelance multimedia artist with a focus on photography and graphic design. When I’m not supporting other artists with their branding or editing and posting my own photography and other art, I tend to spend a lot of my time focusing on my own self care. Whether it’s yoga or running, or curling up with a good book or show/movie, I find it easy for me to incorporate quality time with fur babies into these moments…especially the ones who love hooman companionship. Having such a flexible schedule also makes it easy for me to keep my furry friends in mind who have busy planned out lives of their own. Since I will be providing services in your home, the rules you already have in place for your dog and guests will be enforced and respected. So please be sure to let me know about any behavioral concerns you and your family are addressing or any cool tricks you’re teaching your pooch that I should be helping to enforce in your absence.
Reviews
Shawn was great! He was very communicative, punctual, and Dawkins took to him which was a huge relief.
Shawn is awesome and always leaves my baby tired and happy. What a great two legged friend!!!!
I came home to a tired and happy boy! Shawn was the best and I will definitely be using Shawn as my preferred walker!
Shawn is amazing! Shawn is able to deal with my dog’s weird quirks and understands his anxiety. Jackson can be pretty high maintenance, but he warmed up to Shawn and was nice and tired when I got home after his walk! I appreciate them and will definitely be rebooking again!!!

As they say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” At the end of the day, I’m a service provider in your home and I’m going to respect your space as such. Feel free to have physical or digital list of the rules for any humans and pets in your home. My motto in life is to leave an experience in the same condition or better than when it started and I take that philosophy into my pet care as well. I will always clean/straighten up any areas/rooms that I’ve used while taking care of your furry little family member. Any spaces and rooms that are off-limits will be respected. The IT professional in me really appreciates the principle of least privilege/need-to-know and will always keep to just the areas needed to take care of your fluffed one while you’re away.
Information Shawn L. would like to know about your pet
For all dog care clients: Is your dog reactive to any outdoor stimuli? For pet sitting clients: Is your dog food aggressive or motivated? I don't have any breed preferences ^_^
A typical day
If there are parks near by, your doggo will enjoy long walks and outdoor play. I LOVE playing with dogs outside and inside! Also, let me know what tricks your dog knows or what you're working on behavior-wise so that I can reinforce what you all are doing! If your pooch is not as active, they will enjoy all the cuddles and belly rubs they can muster. I'm also fond of giving older dogs therapeutic body massages.

I currently work as a part-time assistant manager in retail and I’m also taking IT classes at Nevada State University. Fortunately my schedule is flexible enough to allow me the opportunity to give your fur baby all the attention they need. I attend in-person class once a week for a few hours but the longest I’d ever be away from your home is the 5 hours I’m at work. On my workdays, I’d make sure taking care of your dog’s needs were my first priority before leaving and as soon as I returned. Outside of work and school hours, your fur baby and home will get my full undivided attention.
