Information Shawn S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am very capable to give your pet the best care they have ever received.

A typical day

I absolutely love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We will play a bunch of dog puzzle games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big dog park near my house if you would be comfortable with that.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Shawn S. and I am here to help you with any of your animal needs. I am a Professional Dog Trainer. I started my animal career when I was 10 years old shadowing several vets in Arizona. Since then I have enrolled in Penn Foster College to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. I have worked at the Petz Carlton as a doggie daycare technician, Two By Two Animal Hospital as a kennel manager/ kennel technician/ veterinary assistant, and a kennel technician/ daycare technician, and dog trainer at Bittersweet Pet Resort. I am certified in animal CPR and first aid and have spent years tending to animals of all sizes and conditions. I would love to spend time with your fur babies and show them lots of love and affection! Please let me know if I can help you in any way!

Shawn took great care of my puppy- who can often times be a handful! She treated her like one of her own and spoiled her throughout her stay!

Shawn braved the December snowstorms several times a day to care for our four little fur babies. She is a true pet-sitting extraordinaire—extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and devoted.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
