Flexible Schedule, Dogs & Cats
Hi! I'm a lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I've grown up with dogs and cats and spent several years volunteering at a local shelter, so I've cared for animals of all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. There's nothing I love more than spending time with pets and giving them the attention and care they deserve. I focus on in-home care because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own space, surrounded by their own smells, sounds, and routines. Whether it's a midday walk, a drop-in visit to check on food, water, and bathroom breaks, or house sitting while you're away, I'll treat your home and your pet like my own. Services I offer: • Drop-in visits — Quick check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication • Dog walking — Regular exercise and fresh air, tailored to your dog's pace and personality • Cat visits — Feeding, litter box maintenance, and quality cuddle/play time • House sitting — I'll stay at your place to keep your pets company and your home looked after while you're gone I'm easygoing, reliable, and communicative. My goal is that you'll always know how your pet is doing, usually with a few photos thrown in!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. A few things you can count on: Since I only provide care in your home, your pet stays in their own familiar environment — no car rides, no new smells, no other unfamiliar animals to navigate. I'm attentive to home security — doors and gates locked, alarms set, and mail/packages brought in if needed, so your house is just as safe as your pet. I keep an eye out for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior, and I'll always reach out immediately if something seems off. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments and needs from my time at the shelter, so I'm comfortable with nervous, senior, or high-energy pets alike. I'm responsive and communicative — you can expect updates and photos during visits so you're never left wondering.
Ratings and reviews
Shawn is one of the few individuals I trust with my pups. They can be a bit much Aussie/Heeler and Boarder Collie//Heeler so finding someone willing to be patient and help them get their energy out is really important. He truly loves all animals and is always my first call when my pups need a walk or somewhere to go.
