A happy day with wagging tails

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Shara! I’m in grad school to be a Nurse Midwife, and love going on walk breaks… so I’m on the search for a walking budding (hopefully with your furry friend). I’ve spent time dog sitting and doing overnight stays, and I enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and tail wags. Whether your young pup is full of energy or your older pup likes slow walks under the shade, I’m happy to match their pace (and personality!). With my caregiving background, I’m comfortable handling any medications or special care needs your dog might have. If you have any house rules/training you would like me to maintain, then I’d love to enforce them. It’s important to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously, please let me know how I can best take care of your pet and have fun along the way!

Shara just loves dogs and cats - and they love her back! When you meet her, you'll know what I mean. Just a word of caution, though: she will spoil them!

Shara is timely, friendly, and very communicative. She is great with all animals. My guinea pigs loved her and now my dog adores her! Highly recommend Shara for all pet care needs.

Shara has taken care of my incredibly picky parrot. Parrots are notoriously difficult to care for—they're moody, have big personalities, are wildly particular, and can attack and bite like the little feral feather demons they are. They require constant social attention and detailed care, and even seemingly harmless things common in human households—like scents, sprays, candles, Teflon cookware, or ceiling fans—can be dangerous. Caring for a bird means adjusting your behavior and environment with extreme caution. My parrot also is epileptic which entails more special attention and care for when he has his seizures. Despite his mood swings and attitude, he can also be one of the most cuddly and loving creatures. But that level of affection is expert-level difficult to achieve. It takes finesse, patience, time, and, frankly, usually being the “right” gender. (He hates women.) Against the odds, Shara—multiple times, including one 3.5 week long stint—took care of him. She paid close attention to every detail of his likes and dislikes, understood all the nuances of caring a parrot, and more impressively, won him over.
She is trustworthy, communicative, and brave—braving the occasional bite from his plier mouth and still managing to gain his affection. After just a few days, he was cuddling up to her like I didn’t even exist. 10/10 would recommend. If she were still in our city, she'd be our first go-to human for the feather demon.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, we do not have a fence but a big backyard on almost an acre of land. My family and I love being outside and taking our daily walks. We’ve taken care of family friends pets at our home, and now expanding to Rover.

Information Shara B. would like to know about your pet

I’m really an animal lover, but I have most of my experience with dogs (although I’ve taken care of a cat, bird, guinea pigs, and a hedgehog here and there!) I love all dogs, but if your furry friend sheds a lot I’ll have to check with my family before boarding at my house. I look forward to meeting your pup!

A typical day

I like to cater activities to what I think the dog might like! Whether it’s going on a nice “sniff walk” or chasing a ball around or just giving plenty of love, it’s easy to pick up on what they want. If you want me to follow any training tips you have in place I’ll make sure we stay on track.

I’m in grad school now and taking online classes for the summer, that means my hours are very flexible as I’ve stopped working my nursing job full time. If given enough notice I can make myself available for boarding or sitting, because having a furry study buddy makes things better!
