Information Shawn O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the following about your dog if it’s relevant to our time together: - Commands they respond to - Are they good in the car? - Are they food motivated? - Any allergies? - Any triggers? (Sounds, children, other dogs) - Harness vs Collar

A typical day

Your dog can expect fulfilling walks (based on size of course) followed by some structured play time. If they’re a puppy I’d be happy to practice commands as well.

Getaway Beach trip for Your Pup

Pet care experience

If you choose to leave your pup with me, I am a remote worker so I will be with them all day. They will have plenty of opportunities to run around on the beach with their new favorite friends. I have experience with large dogs like Huskeys, pitbulls and labs. I’m comfortable handling large dogs as long as they’re not a bite risk. I grew up with 2 golden retrievers over 20 years. I trained my family dog Finn as a puppy to catch food, shake and paw. I have experience with senior care with administering medications. I also have experience watching other friends and families dog as well, both small dogs and large dogs.

Shawn was great with Ava! He sent me a ton of photos and it looked like they had a great time together. Would definitely ask Shawn to watch her again as it appears they have struck up quite the friendship!

My dogs are family to me and there is no one I trust them with more than Shawn! He loves all animals and is experienced with many different types of dogs, as well as cats. He is extremely trustworthy and will take great care of your furry family member :)

Shawn is great with my golden retriever. He’s always on time, plays, walks and takes great care of Finn. I’m so glad he helps me out whenever I need him. He really cares about my fur baby.

Most responsible, attentive, punctual and loving person to walk the earth. Animals are his second language, the calmness and care given by Shawn is without a doubt the best I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for pet care, and will definitely continue using his services!
