Full Time Animal Lover

Pet care experience

My number one goal in the world is to bring as much puppy/kitty happiness into it as possible! I was originally inspired to become a pet sitter by the good work that rescues have done. Now here I am, ready to do what I can to help dogs and cats in need! I believe that pet sitting is really one step towards me doing my own rehabilitation work with animals that have special needs, so I can’t wait to meet you and your pup/kitty! The best thing about me as a sitter is that, since I am a full-time sitter, I’ll be around your pup 24/7! That means that your baby will never be crated (unless specifically requested), and they’ll be the beneficiary of plenty love! That makes me a great companion for your pets that are used to having a human companion with them throughout the day—or for ones that could benefit from that. That also means that I’ll be on hand in case anything happens, day or night. I believe that great communication is the bedrock for any good stay. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your pup/kitty, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! I want you to be kept in the know on everything, so I’m always happy to send detailed daily updates, featuring notes on anything you need to be informed about—from exercise times to meal prep to particular behaviors. And of course, you’ll receive plenty of accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun we’re having together!

Shawn was so great! He played with Apollo and made sure he was all taken care of. Very professional and kept me in the loop on everything. I will definitely hire Shawn again in the future!

Shawn was a life saver, he responded to my need for a walker last minute and came within an hour. He provided frequent updates throughout the walk and great with communication so you never question what is going on during his walks. Will definitely be booking with him again in the future

Shawn is an amazing dog sitter. He has a real sense of understanding how to connect with dogs of all backgrounds. My dog is a rescue and can be really nervous around meeting new humans. Shawn was really kind to her and confident and she seemed to really respect the way he introduced himself to her. My dog now looks forward to seeing him with a wagging tail and big smile. Big thumbs up for Shawn and his soft side for rescue pups! :)

Shawn took my dog in at 10:30pm when I had no one else to watch my pup, and he was great! Took my dog for walks and showed him so much love! Great family❤️

Information Shawn W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
