About Shawn
Experience: 2 yrs
It's something you've heard before, I'm an animal lover. But the difference is the range of experience I have. From large breed high energy dogs such as German Shepherds to kittens and senior cats. But I also have good deal of experience caring for more exotic animals such as Bearded Dragons and small reptiles, not at all bothered by handling crickets or mealworms. Yet without a doubt my unique area of expertise would definitely be bird care. I've hand raised many cockatiels, cared for conures, finches and parakeets. Not to mention less common Ringneck Doves, an African Grey and a fiesty Cockatoo. With a college degree and a broad range of experience, I prioritize each pet's comfort and happiness, treating them as my own. Rest assured I have my own reliable transportation and am prepared to address whatever your petcare needs may be.
Most recent review
I’m pretty sure my cat thinks he is the real owner at this point—and honestly, I can’t blame him. Shawn has cared for my cat for nearly his entire nine-year life, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else more. He is incredibly reliable, always timely, and keeps everything spotless. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about the animals he looks after—you can tell immediately that this isn’t “just a job” for him. My cat is relaxed, happy, and clearly adored every time I come home (sometimes a little too happy to see me, which says a lot). He’s calm, kind, and gentle to his core—the type of person you trust instinctively with your home and your pets. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animal like family and give you total peace of mind while you’re away, look no further. Fair warning: your pet may end up liking him more than you do. Highly, highly recommend.
