Safety, trust & environment

I stay at your home while you are away which allows me to provide full time care and companionship to your pets while caring for your residence.

Information Shawn P. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs and cats of all breeds. I like it when the pet owners let me know what normal routes their dog is used to and enjoys.

A typical day

Since most dogs I have cared for experience the world through smell, I like to give them as much time as possible to "sniff as we walk".

Pet care experience

I have provided professional loving care for all breeds of dogs and cats (and other animals) of all ages for decades! I am very patient, trustworthy and reliable and as a Florida native I can handle anything that comes up! You will have peace of mind that your pets and your home will be well taken care of. I keep your house meticulously clean and love to bond with your fur babies and send gorgeous portraits of them to you while you are away!

Shawn is very personable and took great care of Maggie for us. I would use him again while we're here in Florida for the month.

Shawn was great! He communicated often and I felt our fur and reptile babies were in good hands. I highly recommend!

Shawn did a wonderful job watching our Huxlee. When stressed Huxlee stops eating but Shawn provided her with a a can of food that she was able to eat. When our return flight was cancelled, Shawn was able to stay on till we returned.

You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
