Highlights
Pet care experience
My own pup is 17 years old!
I’ve had my pug/shih-tzu Alvin since he was 13 weeks old and he turned 17 y/o this past March. I’m a careful, cautious pet owner and struggle letting anyone care for my dog, so I understand being nervous or wanting to make sure your fur-baby is safe. I’m comfortable with all sized dogs and I’m not afraid of “scary” breeds. My cat Mack, recently passed away, he was 19 y/o and I adopted him 15 years ago. Although I am allergic to cats, I would be willing to drop-in to homes with cats as well. I’m just looking to earn some extra income, while getting to spend time with some furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog comes with me as much as possible, especially since the loss of his cat brother. That said, I will not intrude on your home with him or bring him for walks if your dog doesn’t like other dogs or requires more one-on-one care, more exercise or they just don’t get along. You’re hiring me to care for your pet and that will be my priority during that time, including your preferences and requirements.
Ratings and reviews
"I highly recommend Shawn's services! She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and entirely reliable. She is deeply attentive to each pet's unique personality, which shines through when she watches my cat; though my cat is usually not very fond of people, she absolutely adores Shawn's gentle approach. Shawn's lifelong dedication also shows through her own 17-year-old dog she has raised from a puppy with total devotion, ensuring he is comfortable, happy, and loved every single day. Her natural patience and consideration make Shawn a wonderful, trustworthy choice for your furry family members."
I have seen Shawn demonstrate first hand her love and appreciation for animals. She is a caring, kind individual who goes above and beyond what is expected. Shawn has cared for animals with compassion and a genuine affection, whatever the type of pet it may be. Her warmth and openness are apparent as is her professionalism and pride of work. She is punctual, reliable and timely in her communication with clients. I cannot state enough how amazing she is with all furry friends!
I have known Shawn Marie for a number of years as an Pilates instructor and found her to be a very responsible and kind person. She has formed a special bond with my westie, Norman. He is always delighted to see her and wants unlimited petting which she happily provides. I would trust her without hesitation to look after Norman, including having her “live in” with him in my absence.

Schedule
I’m a self-employed Pilates instructor with a small private studio and in-home clients in various parts of the High Park/ Bloor West Village/ The Kingsway area and South Etobicoke. My schedule is flexible and varied, I drive also, so I have freedom to work with your pet care needs. I understand life comes up, so same day cancellations are allowed. However, 48 hour booking notice is needed to confirm my schedule.
