About me

Hi! I'm Shawn a lifelong animal lover of 9 Years, I have extensive experience with a variety of pets. I currently share my home with a playful blue heeler and have owned cats, so I genuinely enjoy the company of both dogs and smaller animals. I'm also an experienced dog walker, having taken many dogs, both my own and others, on walks.

Dog walking services

I provide reliable and attentive dog walking, focusing on calm and focused walks within your neighborhood. I always work within your pet's established habits and training routines, ensuring their safety and comfort. I'm adept at handling common situations that arise during walks, such as encountering other dogs or unexpected noises, managing them calmly and safely to keep your dog at ease.

• Training Support: I'm happy to reinforce any ongoing training, even simple commands like "sit" at a crosswalk. I can also assist with common behavioral issues like pulling on the leash.

•Real-World Handling:I've successfully managed situations like a dog getting spooked by a loud noise, calmly reassuring them and redirecting their attention. I've also prevented a spirited dog from rolling in something unpleasant, keeping them clean and continuing the walk smoothly.

I have experience walking multiple dogs at once, including a lovely husky and several golden retrievers, so I'm comfortable with larger groups, up to a maximum of five dogs.

•Pricing:$15 for a 30-minute to 1-hour walk, $10 per additional dog. Harness and leash are required on the dog upon pickup.

House Sitting and Overnight care

I will treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. My experience in theatre has given me excellent quick-thinking skills for emergencies, such as ensuring everything is locked or addressing potential hazards calmly and safely. I'm always open to communication regarding my arrival, departure, or any other updates including during my stay. I will also arrive 6-6:45PM and will leave 7-9AM.

•Routines: I'll double-check that everything is locked upon arrival, before bed, and before leaving. I'll also ensure your pets have food. Most of my time will be spent playing with your animals to keep them happy and calm. I can send any type of updates via the app's messenger (photos or normal text) at your request or at set times.

•Dedicated Pet Care: I will look after your animals to the best of my ability, providing plenty of attention and affection (lots of pats and belly scratches!). I'll maintain their regular eating habits, training, and dietary needs. I'm comfortable if they want to relax with me once they've settled down (please let me know if they are allowed on furniture). Please provide their food and treats, as I will not be bringing any.Also if you have multiple larges dogs or small babies have no fear. I have experience with spending night with multiple large dogs.

•Pricing: $35 per overnight stay.

**Important Note:** While I have extensive personal experience with animals and their care, I do not currently hold a professional license for pet care services.
