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.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Shareka Terry highly enough. When I needed someone to care for my senior dog on very short notice, she stepped in without hesitation and provided exceptional care. My dog is elderly and senile, which requires extra patience, attention, and understanding. Shareka made sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and received all the attention he deserved. She took the time to understand his needs and treated him with genuine kindness and compassion. Knowing that my dog was in such capable and caring hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. It is clear that Shareka truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I am incredibly grateful for her help and would gladly trust her with my pets again in the future.
Shareka is amazing with animals. She has cared for my dog before and spoils him. I think she likes animals more than humans. Lol. She's dedicated, punctual and reliable. I high recommend her.
Good evening I have known Sharika for many many years. Her care and compassion for animals is undeniable. She has Pet sat for me in the past my 60 pound pitbull. Her love for all animals is unconditional and compassionate beyond words. She would truly be an extremely valuable asset to any corporation!
I highly recommend Shareka as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving with animals. Her patience, reliability, and caring nature make pets feel safe and comfortable in her care. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have Shareka looking after their furry family members. She is the only one I trust and go to for the care of my pets. 10 out of 10.
My neighbor recommended Shareka for pet sitting, and she was absolutely fantastic. She came over for a meet and greet before I left, and my dogs loved her right away. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, so I never worried once. The house was spotless when I got back, and the dogs were happy and well exercised. She's professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her.
Shareka was such a wonderful sitter for my cat Echo! I’d just like to brag on her for a second, now we do have a ring camera in our living room pointed at the front door (we did make her aware prior). With that said out of all the sitters I’ve used in the past I’ve never had one that played with echo as much as she did running around the house with his toys for a long time. Most people would entertain him for a little bit but not truly spend the same quality time with him the way I would and she did just that. She fed him exactly on his schedule each day she was over, sent me pictures constantly of him outside playing, inside napping on the couch with her and I could just tell he felt comfortable with her and that’s such a major part for me when letting someone care for my pet because let’s be honest our pets might as well be our children. I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her, it’s hard to put trust in a stranger with your pets but after my experience with her I definitely feel comfortable and confident letting her watch echo again in the future.

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.
