Pet care experience

Lifelong pet lover

I've had lots of experience especially with small dogs. I've been a foster parent for the humane society and ended up adopting a dog that I fostered. However, he recently passed so there are no dogs in my home at present. I may have a small dog in my home from time to time as I'm fostering again. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, too. My home is quiet and comfortable.

Shari was absolutely wonderful with my elder dog, Charley. And he clearly had an affinity for her. Shari sent check-in pictures and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend. I will definitely call on Shari again for petsitting needs.

Shari was very accommodating for our last minute request. We will definitely work with her again if we are in the area.

Sheri is a very thoughtful and responsible dog sitter. We could not have asked for a better companion for our six-year-old mutt. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 04, 2026

We were fortunate to find Shari via Rover. She took good care of our 18-year old pup, intermittently for 3 days while we attended several OSF shows and dined with friends. It was a huge relief to know that she was so sweet and responsible, and our dog liked her well despite his anxiety over not being with Mom and Dad for those hours. Highly recommended.

Shari treated Sage so well, and the pictures were great to see. She helped him feel at home and Sage loved the back yard!

Schedule

I'm currently working very part-time, so I will have time to care for your treasured dog. I'm available weekends, too. I'm out of cell range during the day on some Thursdays. So if you try to contact me on a Thursday, it will take several hours for me to get back to you. Otherwise, my response rate is exceptional.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard with a small lawn. If you have me care for dogs in my home, I have crates they can use. Environment is quiet and tranquil.

A typical day

I have a fenced back yard and will play fetch if your dog enjoys that. I will give them a walk in the neighborhood. If they would prefer being a couch potato, I have beds and blankets for them.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, i.e., allergies, special food. I'm experienced with senior dogs and can provide medication management if needed. I'd like to know your pet's favorite activities so I can replicate them in my home. Please have your pet(s) up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick treatment.
