Pet care experience

Reliable & Energetic Animal Lover!

Since childhood, my home was not complete without a pet. I’ve loved dogs, cats and even hamsters as part of my family. My dog, Carmelo, totally hit the jackpot the day I met him at the shelter. I couldn’t love him (or spoil him!) more! It’s great that I can share my love of animals by helping to care for your furry friend! Plus I have experience training puppies in “the basics”. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and pamper their pets. I was the “go to” caregiver for Maggie the Bulldog. She had some very specific needs and routines that I was more than happy to adhere to…she was Ultimate Margaret after all! And when Maggie lost her leg to cancer, I was honored to be on her “chase team”, helping her learn to use her new wheels and otherwise making her last year as fun and comfortable as it could be!

Shari is the best! She treats our cat Moe like he is hers and spends quality time with him. I don’t worry at all when we leave and Shari is there. Shari gives great detailed visits and always has the cutest update photos so we know he is doing great.

Shari is the best! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, thoughtful, and kind sitter! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were in San Diego over the weekend. She always provides pictures and detailed updates that give me so much peace of mind while I’m away from my fur babies. We scheduled the trip last minute and Shari was so accommodating. Thank you so much, Shari! 💕
