Pet care experience

🐾 Happy Tails & Peaceful Trails 🐾

🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.

Shareka did an amazing job with our fur babies! She sent update's and photos during the week which we all loved. Our golden retriever has separation anxiety and was worse than usual during his stay. She communicated with us about it and worked with him to get him to feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. Both animals came home, more relaxed, and well-behaved them when we dropped them off. Best Pet sitter we have used! Thank you Shareka!!!

Schedule

Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away.

**BEHAVIOR AND HOUSE-TRAINING POLICY** To provide a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care, I DO NOT ACCEPT AGGRESSIVE OR NON-HOUSE-TRAINED PETS. Accurate information about your pet's behavior allows me to provide the highest level of care while ensuring the safety and comfort of all pets in my home. ALL BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS MUST BE DISCLOSED BEFORE BOOKING, including but not limited to aggression toward people or other animals, resource guarding, excessive anxiety, destructive behavior, marking, or lack of house training. IF BEHAVIORAL ISSUES ARE DISCLOSED AT DROP-OFF, I reserve the right to cancel the booking or continue the stay with an ADDITIONAL CARE FEE OF $20 PER PET PER DAY, which must be paid before departure. IF BEHAVIORAL ISSUES ARE NOT DISCLOSED PRIOR TO DROP-OFF AND ARE DISCOVERED DURING THE STAY, your emergency contact may be required to pick up your pet. An ADDITIONAL CARE AND NONDISCLOSURE FEE OF $20 PER PET PER DAY will be added to your booking to cover the increased supervision, cleaning, and specialized care required. * Any cancellation resulting from undisclosed behavioral issues will remain subject to all applicable Rover cancellation policies. By confirming your booking, you acknowledge that you have accurately disclosed your pet's behavior and agree to these terms.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
