Pet care experience

I put the pets needs first!

Prices and scheduling is very flexible. I work with the pet owners needs. My passion for animals, especially dogs made me want to get into Rover. I have prior personal and professional experience working with animals. I am very flexible and tend to the animals needs. I’m willing to go above and beyond for the best possible care of the animals and to ensure the pet owner is happy. I am available at almost all times of the day and I can work with any size and types of dogs. When I walk the dogs I always ensure that they get a long active walk and I also try to make sure they fully go potty if they need to. I take take care of all animals to meet their individual needs to ensure each animals gets the best care. My schedule can vary and be flexible. I prefer the pet owners contact me to discuss whichever times may be flexible for everyone Involved, thanks. I put the pets needs first. I always make sure that my furry friends are safe and comfortable with me and the environment that we are in.

Dog Walking • Aug 13, 2025

Shawn is an excellent dog walker—patient, reliable, and truly caring. He took his time with my dog, He communicated clearly, and was flexible enough to accommodate a last-minute booking. He’s the best dog walker I’ve had in a long time, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2022

Shawn arrived 1 1/2 hours late, he only walked ONE of the dogs for all of TWO minutes in the front yard. After watching the dogs for an hour, Shawn left and come back 2 1/2 hours later with his GIRLFRIEND who we’ve never met. He was never authorized to bring anyone to the house. When we talked to Shawn about why there was someone else in the house he said we’re only staying in the basement so it’s fine. We asked him to leave and not return, Shawn only watched my dogs for maybe two hours.

We are a family of animal lovers, and we adore our little Labradoodle, Suzi. She, in turn, ADORES her friend, Shawn. When we tell Suzi that Shawn is coming to see her, she watches out the window for him. She is so excited to see him! She runs in and out of his legs, then runs to the door and stands still so Shawn can put her harness on, so they can leave. They play and walk and run. Shawn sends us beautiful pictures of Suzi taken while they are out. When they return, Shawn tells us about their adventures and even gives us a "Potty Report". Shawn returns Suzi's love and observes her very closely to help us keep up with her health and well-being. He is an amazing young man: responsible, dependable, conscientious, and, most important, a heart big enough to care for all his canine and human friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Shawn for a position in your company.

Shawn's love for dogs is best shown through his ability to show compassion and love for every dog as if it were his own. I would 100% recommend his services.
