Pet care experience

I work from home and have flexible hours as a project manager so I will be with your animals all day. I always had big dogs growing up and I have cared for smaller dogs and cats in the last few years through fostering and pet sitting. I previously had a shepherd mix, Milo, who stole my heart. He lives with my old roommate in Denver now, but while I had him I gained valuable experience with a very active, large dog. I have a super shy tabby cat. He is good with dogs just tends to hide from new people/animals. I don’t mind driving so I’m happy to head to your neighborhood, but also live in a very pet friendly neighborhood in Huntington Beach on the border of costa mesa. Hope to meet you and help take care of your furry family members!

This was our first time using Rover, and Shari was awesome and so sweet! She offered to scheduled a meet and greet a few days before our daycare appointment and made us and our two dogs feel perfectly at ease, we knew they’d be totally comfortable for the full day of daycare to come. They were with Shari for a full 12 hrs from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm, and she made sure to send a number of updates and photos. If we’re back in area and need a sitter, we’ll 100% be reaching back out. Highly recommend!!

Shari was great with our dog Finch! He can be tricky to walk and she was patience and loving, and even spent a little extra time with him to make sure he was fed. Will definitely be using her again!

We used Shari for the first time and absolutely recommend her. She took great care of our fur babies while we were gone. She came over on two occasions to meet them and get familiar with them which we appreciated very much. We felt comfortable with her on the first visit. She followed our instructions and made us feel that our babies were in good hands. We will definitely use her again.

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.
