Your pup will be part of the family

Pet care experience

My pup, Luna, will be a companion for your dog during her/his visit. I love having pups visit and will treat your fur baby like my own! I have both been a dog owner my entire life and enjoy pups of all types. I live in a one bedroom Noe Valley home, next to a small dog park, but also take Luna and pup guests with me on long walks, car rides, and just about everywhere we can (including cafes sometimes)! I have lived in the city for 15 years and know all the dog friendly spots. My current favorite is Bernal Hill! I am a university professor and mostly work from home, with the exception of a few hours, two evenings a week (and I don't teach during the summer at all). I have a fenced backyard, where I let Luna out for bathroom breaks and quick runs during the day. I typically only accept one dog at a time, for a total of two (my pup, Luna, and yours)! Occasionally, I might accept two dogs at a time, but only if it seems like a good match (ie - that they will all get along well). Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with dogs in the home as a child and my love for them ensured that I have always had them in my adult life as well. Meet my pets I have a 7 year old poodle-terrier mix, who is generally friendly with other dogs. She can be shy at first, but quickly warms up to other pups that are friendly and not overly aggressive about playing when they first meet (which can scare her). She is fully house trained, doesn't bark when we leave, doesn't chew, and doesn't have other habits that would provide a bad example for your visiting fur baby! About my yard I have a medium sibackyard space where I let Luna out to use the bathroom and run a bit. We always go to the small park next to our house at least once a day, too, followed by a more vigorous romp in a larger park (or at the beach) later in the day. My experience administering medication Yes, I'm comfortable administering medication if needed.

Shawn was so sweet with Zorro! I received pictures during the day and her dog Luna is adorable. Zorro looks forward to another stay!

Shawn cared for Pickles as if she was her own pup. She was thoughtful, incredibly responsive, and provided us with great updates. It was a joy knowing that while we were on vacation, our pup was having her own staycation.

Shawn was totally wonderful! Super on top of things and communicative, as well as very intuitive with our sometimes-wary rescue dog. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with Shawn (and Luna!).

Information Shawn N. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to pup sit for any dog who is house trained and friendly (ie- won't bully our pup). No aggressive dogs, please. Luna generally likes most dogs that are friendly, but the best match will be those pups who are calm and allow her a little time to warm up before engaging in rough play.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take the pups to the park next to our house in the morning and to a larger park (or the beach) in the afternoon. Bernal Hill is a current favorite, as is the dog park in Noe Valley. Ocean Beach is also becoming a favorite, however, especially on warmer days! Your dog's sleeping arrangement On the couch, on the floor in our bedroom, or wherever he/she is most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so your pup would have one on one time with me most of the day!
