Shawn can care for
Availability
I'm currently just working a few days a week in a restaurant, no other commitments. Plus it's the longest I've ever been without companion animal of my own, so I have extra time and love to give at the moment.

About Shawn S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Will follow the owners instructions to the tee, and more often than not spend additional time when possible. I'm currently without pets of my own which is rare for me, so I have an ample amount of attention and care to spare!
Information Shawn S. would like to know about your pet
If the pet has any special needs, medications, special diets, etc. we can address that ahead of time. I have experience in all sorts of situations after years in veterinary offices and kennels.
A typical day
I love exploring nature, walks, hikes, swimming, etc. Play at the beach, discover dog parks if applicable. Maybe find a patio to rest at for snacks.

Reviews
My cat, who is normally shy with people, felt comfortable with Shawn right away. He spent a lot of quality time with her and I could tell through the photos he sent that she was relaxed and content. He was also prompt in communicating by text. Shawn has a great rapport with animals and I would definitely hire him again in the future.
Shawn has been a previous volunteer at a pet shelter with me for 7 years where we cleaned kennels, let dogs out, fed and watered them, and assisted with adoption events. He has worked in many fields involving pets throughout the years such as assisting with boarding and vet’s assistant. he has had several pets which he loved and cared for.
