Highlights
Pet care experience
introverted, but will discuss pets
Hey there! I'm Dene (middle name), I'm a mother to three children and wife to a disabled veteran. I am currently looking for a regular job and caring for pets with my ample free time! Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I was a pet groomer and owned my own pet grooming business in California. I have volunteered with dog and cat rescues since I was 14 years old, mostly walking and playing in the exercise yard. I was also frequently tasked with feeding and watering the animals, including providing oral medications to cats and dogs. I have two dogs of my own, a 45lb, 10 year old, scruffy mutt by the name of Charlie who has epilepsy and hypothyroidism and a 5 year old chocolate lab named Sam who is allergic to life (enviornmental and food allergies) and still the best hiking buddy. I love to be outdoors exploring and curl up inside with a furry snuggle buddy. I am well-trained in the arts of repetitive toy throwing and walking in large circles endlessly. I do have base access so I am willing to help out military families!

Safety, trust & environment
I am respectful of your space while treating your pet like my own. I know the stress of leaving a four legged family member in the care of another and will do my best to ease that for you and give them the best possible time with me. I love to take pictures, especially ones that I hope make you laugh.
Ratings and reviews
Not enough great things to say. Our dogs are so well taken care of and loved while we are away. Sometimes I think that they don't want us to come homes:). Can not recommend enough.
What a blessing she has been for our pups!! We know they are in great hands and get treated so well while we are away. Can’t say enough about how much we appreciate all she does.
Great to work with. The pups love her
Shari was great! My cat loved her. Would definitely book again.
Shari did an amazing job dropping in on our cats while we were away on vacation! One needed to be given eye drops and another needed oral medication, and she administered both with no problems. Kept us updated at all times with photos. We felt at ease leaving them in her hands.
Shari was super helpful and patient with my dogs and I will be using her again!

Schedule
I'm currently waiting to hear back from some job prospects, so my schedule is completely open. I'm happy to help with your pets however I can.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsShari can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- People love to talk about their pets and I love to listen! I want to know the silly stuff too! Of course I need to know any medications and/or allergies, but I want to know their favorite toy too! I'm very comfortable giving oral meds and have experience giving a diabetic dog insulin. I have an epileptic dog that gets meds 4 times a day, so I'm familiar with a strict med schedule and seizures.
