My pup was sooooo happy to see Najji on a return visit for day care! It made both their days being reunited! Rosso and Dolly, Najjis pup, are besties. Sure is good to have Najji available when my schedule is full and Rosso needs play time.

About: Hi, I am Tricia and i have had dogs all my life. I love pets very much and have worked at local animal shelters. Working in animal welfare has graced me with all sorts of experience with all types of animal behaviors and personalities. I also have lots of animal medical experience. I have worked with animals with aggression, separation anxiety, seizures, deaf, shy and fearful and much more. I can also medicate animals in any way needed. I am experienced in giving shots and pilling animals. Basic training is something I like to work on with all animals as I believe it helps them not only build their confidence but also keeps their mind busy and wears them out! Please let me know if I can help you out! I am currently working from home meaning I can spend tons of time with your pups staying at my home! We also love to go get pup cups often! I have a fenced yard and dogs that also love other dogs. My house is centered around dogs with lots of comfy beds, toys and other fun stuff!

As a new travel nurse to the area, it’s important for me to find a sitter that meshes well with my dog who has separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with my boy, provided updates, and I came home a happy/tired pup! Until next time, thank you Caitlin.

I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.

About: I’ve take care of dogs and cats since I was so young because my dad is vet so I have been working with him many years, he has a clinic in Mexico and we have pets in home too so I am a really pet lover, so responsible, caring. Thanks to my dad I have learned a lot about animals specially cats and dogs. Give medicine to the dogs and cats, feed them. AIDS For me the most important is they feel comfortable and loved while you are away and don’t feel sad or alone because you are far, feel safe ans relax that your pet is in very good hands with me, always so positive and pacient I really enjoy to play and spend time with pets, take care of them, I’m available in weekdays and weekends, I am flexible and very patient I have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home, i am so careful with their food, medicine because my cat is sick so I know when she needs and give medicine, play time and often exercise like walk, play with the ball and my cat with toys.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.

Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!

Christine was awesome! I booked the night before at the very last minute for all-day doggy daycare, and she responded immediately! She took such good care of my pup who came back happy, calm, and obviously had a LOT of good playtime. I definitely would recommend Christine - I know I'll be booking her again!

About: I have a stay at home job where my hours are very flexible. I do have visits with clients that can last 1-3 hours but if I know that I’m caring for your dog I will do my very best to not schedule two visits in a day! I will spend lots of quality time with your dog and make sure it is getting more than enough love and care that it needs! I work in social work, so I usually have 2-3 visits per week that last between 1-3 hours. Other than that, and the other activities I spend my time doing, I will give your dog so much love when I am home! I am rarely ever gone for more than 3 hours at a time. I am available any day of the week on a normal week. I live at an apartment complex, but we are only on the second floor, have a good amount of space, and our complex even has a dog park!

Shawn is amazing with my dog Riley. Riley can be very anxious around new people, but she took to Shawn very quickly. He was helpful and patient throughout the whole process, from the meet and greet through the first daycare session. He sent me photos and updates throughout the day to let me know she was doing well. She was very happy when I picked her up! As long as Shawn is dog sitting, he will be in my go-to dog sitter!

My babies absolutely love going to doggy daycare at Sharon and Mike's! They always come home exhausted and happy. If you have small dogs, do yourself (and your pocketbook) a favor and use Sharon for daycare and boarding instead of an expensive pet resort or vet!
