Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dogs won't want me to leave
Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mother served on the board of a Jack Russell rescue — which meant at least three of them running around at any given time. My first dog as an adult was Molly, a border collie who never met a person she didn't like. Every dog I've cared for since has gotten that same love and attention. When it comes to housesitting, I treat every home like my own. I bring in the mail, water the plants, vary the lights, take out the trash, and send regular photos and updates so you can truly relax. You come home to exactly what you left — sometimes with a very happy pet (or two or three...) at the door.

Ratings and reviews
Shawn was a wonderful house sitter — reliable, attentive, and always available when I needed her. I couldn’t have asked for better peace of mind while I was away!
Shawn was an incredible dog sitter and house sitter! She was very caring. Our pup was happy and well-cared for, and our home was left spotless. Highly recommend!!

Schedule
My availability is genuinely flexible — some weeks I'm fully available, others I'm part-time, so I always recommend checking my calendar for current openings. What stays consistent is my commitment: when I'm with your pet, I am fully present and fully focused. I work around your schedule, your pet's routine, and whatever your family needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care exclusively in your home — because that's where your pet is most comfortable, and comfort matters. I believe the safest pet is an attentive one, so I give every animal in my care my complete attention. Your home is treated with the same respect I'd give my own, and your pet's routine, quirks, and needs are taken seriously from day one. In rare emergency situations, I am able to bring your pet into my home for overnight care, so they are never left without a loving hand. You won't have to wonder if everything is okay — I'll make sure you know.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes lots of playtime, silly toy sessions, treats, belly rubs, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I let each pet’s personality lead the way, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or happiest curled up beside me.
