I am happy to drop in on your furry friends to let them outside, walks, cuddles, love, playtime, feedings, medication etc. I am also willing to stay at your home, with your pets, while you are away, if that is a service that you would prefer.

Information Shari S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs/medications, what he/she enjoys doing, what upsets him/her (thunder, sirens etc), meal time procedures/snacks, veterinarians name and phone number.

A typical day

I live in an area that has sidewalks all the way to the yaught club and throughout neighborhoods along the way. There is plenty to smell and explore on our walks. I also live on the water, so even looking out the windows provide stimulation and things to watch on a fairly regular basis. I can provide plenty of cuddle time and indoor play time as well.

Pet care experience

Hi! My love and adoration of fur babies goes as far back as I can remember. I grew up with a Saint Bernard, Black Labs, cats and hamsters. Once I became an adult and bought a house of my own, I rescued a black lab/German Shephard mix named Alex. He became the love of my son's life and a best friend to all of us. I also rescued a cat named Midnight, who thought himself more dog than cat and was loved far more than he chose to be at times. I have also owned, loved and cared for bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, and a rat. Upon moving to Florida, I got a chihuahua named Champ who took to my black lab mix, Alex, immediately and developed a personality much like a lab and less a Chihuahua. Sadly, Alex passed several years ago and so Champ became my constant companion. He developed diabetes and a heart murmur which required insulin injections twice a day as well as heart meds. I know how to administer shots and give medication if your fur baby requires either of those things in your absence. I lost Champ a few years ago and I decided at that time that the heart break was too deep and I am not yet ready to get another dog. However, it occurred to me that I could use the love that I have for animals and spread it to other peoples cherished pets when they are not able to be home. I guarantee, if given the chance, that I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own. I understand all to well, what a pet means to his/her human!

Shari was awesome! Such a nice person and she took great care of Milo. There was some work being done at the house and he was a little nervous but she helped calm him and keep him company. I highly recommend her and would ask her to sit with Milo again any time!

Shari is fabulous! My Ragdoll had a quasi-emergency and she's such a great kitty advocate! Highly recommended!

Shari took exceptional care of our dog, Marley. He is very high strung and struggles with anxiety. She figured out what to do to get him to settle down (play ball with him incessantly before bedtime) which was brilliant. She kept us up to date and sent pics almost daily. She was also very flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend her!
