About Shawn P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm primarily focusing on providing house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in services for both dogs and cats. In certain cases, I can provide boarding services for cats in my apartment, but not for dogs. If interested in boarding services for your cat, please contact me and we can discuss if I can provide the right service for you. I live in a large apartment with 3 cats that stay in my roommates' rooms. There are a lot of windowsills for cats to lay on, a sun room, and cat toys as well. My roommates' cats have experience being around other cats, but dogs not so much. Therefore, I'd only offer boarding services for cats, where I'd keep the cat's feeding area and litter box in my room. When housesitting and providing drop-ins, I'll ensure your home stays clean, pet stays in whatever boundaries you specify (i.e. if you don't allow your pets on furniture or certain floors). I'll respect your home as if it were my own.
Information Shawn P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am good with direction. Let me know of their - Feeding schedule - Frequency of walks - Whether they know commands like "sit" or "place" which can help them relax or provide mental stimulation. - If there are treats they can have for good behavior - If there are toys/games they like for play - Anything else you think is important for me to know about your pet
A typical day
I'll make sure your pets are stimulated mentally and physically, whether that's several sessions of playtime with their favorite toys, a trip to the the dog park, and taking in all the smells of the neighborhood.

Proud Pet Uncle
Pet care experience
For several years, I've helped look after the pets of my family, friends, and roommates. I currently live with 3 cats, have lived with a pit lab mix for several years, and a chihuahua as well. I've taken care of pets with various temperaments, from more outgoing and energetic, to more anxious and reserved. Every pet has their own needs, personality, and boundaries. I take this into consideration every time I care for a pet. I've puppysitted for both of my sisters, will routinely look after my sister's double doodle for weeks at a time, and we're always excited to see each other. While I do not currently own any pets, I'm a proud pet uncle who is always excited to spend time with people's dogs and cats.
Reviews


Shawn did great with our pets! We would absolutely use him again and/or recommend to anyone!

Awesome!!!

Shawn went the extra mile and was attentive and caring. I felt assured that my little one was in good hands. When my cat had an upset stomach, he stayed with her and gave me a call to make sure we were on the same page. It gave me a lot of peace to know I’d left her with someone who genuinely cared about her wellbeing.
Shawn was a very responsive sitter. He took great care of my two cats and sent updates at every visit. I would definitely recommend him.
