I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy.

Safety, trust & environment

I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.

Information Shawn W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special requests or needs for your pet(s) ahead of time, so I can be prepared to accommodate their extra care requirements!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walk, if they’re okay with water, we can set up the sprinkler and play, or go to the closest water and swim. I like walks, and fetch is always a good game to play with your dog. I love to play cats using lasers, or a rope toy. My cat Arya loves her laser toy, she just doesn’t know when to stop. I’ll give her cat nip after, as a nice treat.

Pet care experience

Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set.

I appreciate Shawn and his care for my pups. Having an older dog makes me a little nervous while away however Shawn communicates if there are any concerns, anything I need to know.

Shawn is absolutely amazing. Our dog had a medical event that required Shawn taking him to the emergency vet. He was calm and collected and made sure our fur baby was taken care of. He definitely went beyond the extra mile.

This is the second time we had Shawn care for our dogs. He was great and the animals were well cared for.
