Pet care experience

I am a retired Police Officer who has a lot of experience as a K-9 handler. I love all dogs and able to respond to their individual personalities. Some need a gentle hand and some need some hard play time. Either way, I am ready to meet you and your dog's needs. Best of all, I am someone you will not have to worry about being in and around your home- I have had an active security clearance in the military for 30 years and just retired from 20 years in law enforcement.

Information Shawn S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs. You can "read" a dog by their eyes and other physical indicators. You still need to approach each dog as an individual and earn their respect and trust.

Why I love dog sitting We have had dogs all our lives. I was a dog handler as a police officer. My first dog was a German Shepherd who was great at obedience and search and rescue. We both worked at ground zero searching for survivors in NY for 9 straight days. Me and Hero were together for 9 years. I later had an explosive detection K9 and we worked at the airport for 3 years. Atros, who is also a German Shepherd, is still working in airports now that I am retired.
