Safety, trust & environment

Getting to know your dog and their needs is my top priority. Its important to build trust and a relationship so that your dog is happy on our walk. I'm good at communicating to you and above all, listening to how you need your dog taken care of.

Information Shawn R. would like to know about your pet

Communication is important for your dogs health and wellness. So fill me in on any changes to their routine or health issues. Keep in mind their mental health too. If they're not themselves on a given day, knowing that in advance could prevent further discomfort or pain. Other than that, acceptable treats and any dietary restrictions is helpful.

A typical day

I'm a multi-faceted dog dad. Can play catch with high energy dogs, take in all the smells and sights with hounds and prey drive dogs, or switch gears and give out belly rubs.

Responsible dog dad to help!

Pet care experience

I've raised my dog since he was a puppy and have learned a lot along the way!~ I treat every dog like my own, and provide the right structure and leadership for an enjoyable and productive walk.

I have a 160lb mountain dog that needed to be walked as I healed from my surgery, finding someone who I could trust was scary but Shawn was great with my dog. I got the reassurance I needed that he was well taken care of. He is punctual and always had a smile on his face. He is someone who I can definitely see myself contacting in the future when I need help. If you are looking for a great reliable dog dad, you found him, he will not disappoint.

Shawn loves dogs. He’s awesome at looking after my furbaby. He takes care of her as if it’s his own. He is very responsible and reliable. He makes sure my furbaby will be have fun and safe at the same time. My furbaby is very excited and happy when he walks her. So glad to have someone I can trust. :)
