Highlights
Pet care experience
From Farm Life to Fur Babies
I grew up on a farm with every kind of animal, which gave me a lifelong love and natural comfort around pets. From an early age, I learned the importance of daily care, routine, patience, and responsibility. I lead an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks, exercise, and playtime. As I work from home, I am also able to provide consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Reliable, warm, and genuinely passionate about animals, I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shawn’s love and care for animals is something truly special and immediately evident to anyone who has the privilege of knowing him. The compassion, patience, gentleness, and genuine devotion he shows toward every pet in his care goes far beyond responsibility, it comes straight from the heart. He treats every animal (big or small) as though they are part of his own family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, comforted, and understood. Whether it is taking extra time for a nervous pet, making sure routines are followed perfectly, or simply offering affection and reassurance, Shawn consistently goes above and beyond in every possible way. It is no surprise that Shawn was raised on a farm, where from a very young age he learned the importance of respect, kindness, responsibility, and proper care for all animals. Those values clearly stayed with him and shine through in everything he does. He has a natural connection with animals that simply cannot be taught - they trust him instinctively, and it is beautiful to witness. Any pet placed in Shawn’s care is incredibly fortunate. His integrity, warmth, attentiveness, and unwavering love for animals make him someone you can trust wholeheartedly. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I am retired and have a flexible schedule. I genuinely love having animals around throughout the day. I truly enjoy the companionship, warmth, and joy that pets bring into a home, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Having grown up around animals, caring for pets has always come naturally to me. From energetic dogs who love adventure and exercise to cats who prefer gentle companionship and quiet comfort, I take pride in creating a warm, loving environment where pets feel happy, settled, and truly at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Because I am home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, affection, and supervision - whether that means walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, feeding routines, outdoor time, or simply having a calm and caring presence nearby. I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel relaxed, secure, and cared for as if they were part of our own family.
Pets
A typical day
Keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged is something I genuinely enjoy. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, I love spending time going for walks, playing fetch, enjoying outdoor time, practicing basic commands or enrichment games, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship throughout the day. For more active dogs, I enjoy longer walks, hikes, and interactive play to help them burn energy and stay stimulated. For calmer or older dogs, I am equally happy spending quiet time cuddling, relaxing, and keeping them company so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they feel loved, relaxed, entertained, and right at home.
