Stay at home dog mom! 15+ years exp

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.

We have an old dog and have been concerned about her lately. After leaving her with Shawn, she seems happier! She ate better tonight! We so appreciate Shawn!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and three extremely friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am more than capable to recreate whatever your dog is accustomed to in their own home.

Pets

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.
