“Shawn was great! Very flexible with our changing plans and able to watch my dogs last minute. He did pick up and drop off for us which was a HUGE help! We got videos and photos daily and it looked like our dogs had the best time! Responded quickly to messages and just seemed to really care about the details. Will definitely have Shawn dog sit in the future and definitely recommend him!”

She is so great and we are incredibly lucky we found her, Thank you Taryn.”
