Pet care experience

Experienced Dog Dad With Two Dogs.

My name is Shawn and I am a 36yo father of 3 boys and 2 dogs (Max-7yo and Daisy-11yo). I have about 20 years of experience, getting my start during my early teens helping my family foster all sorts of animals. I was your typical self-centered teen back then, but watching my mother's kindness, patience and compassion for the animals she fostered taught me to love them as well; especially both dogs and cats alike. I have worked with many different dog breeds over the years, so dogs of any size and temperament are welcome in my home. My dogs and I welcome your pup as part of our family for as long as you would have my services.

Shawn was awesome! He was responsive, professional, and kind. We boarded our cat for 9 nights for the first time, and Shawn was patient and took the time to adjust to Ditto’s needs making for a very positive experience. After talking to him, it’s clear he understands and loves the animals under his care. We will definitely be rebooking!

I had a great experience with Shawn! Very through and communicative leading up to and during my pups stay. I could tell Cody was well taken care of. Thank you!

Shawn was great, our original sitter canceled on us and luckily Shawn was available and it worked out for the best. Buddy seemed to have a great time, 10/10 would recommend!

The first night was ruff, but Shawn did a awesome job working with Ace to make him feel comfortable and at home. The communication was at its best to keep me informed day to day. Highly recommended

Pets

A typical day

My fenced backyard may not be Florida's prettiest but there's plenty of space for your pup to run and play. In fact, I'm proud to call my backyard "The Sandlot", because a well-worn yard is a dog's playground; perfect for running and sunbathing. Your pup will join Max & Daisy's routine of backyard lizard patrol with Max and Playing 'chase' in the backyard with Daisy. When it comes to toys, Daisy loves to play 'follow the leader' and Max's favorite game is 'tug of war'.
