Seeking "Paws"itive Friends

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 went above and beyond when caring for Mia for the week we were away. We receive daily updates with photos and videos. She followed our care plan to the letter, and Mia was a happy girl while we were gone, We would not hesitate to ask Shari to care for Mia again.

Shari was amazing and I would highly recommend her. I recently moved to the area over a year ago and had no one I knew to watch my dogs. We had a company fishing trip planned and was recommended to try Rover.com. It was easy, smooth and would tell anyone to try it out. Thank you Shari for watching my fur babies. ?

I have know Shari for 30 plus years. She has always had some kind of pet or pets from, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs. I have left my dog with her many times when I have been away on vacation, and she has always treated my dog with tender love and care. Recently I know she was staying at a friend’s house with three dogs and a snake while they were away at a family emergency. She is an honest-loving caring person and I would highly recommend her as a care giver for your pet, and know they would be well taken care of with love and affection.

Shari is an amazing human being period! She has a heart of gold. She is great with all animals, human beings and especially dogs. I can personally give her this recommendation because I recently had to return to Ohio for a family emergency for 2 weeks and Shari not only took care of my precious dog Smoodgie at a moments notice, loved her up, cooked for her and even personally stayed at my house so my poor anxious dog could sleep in her own bed. Shari is the best!

I live in a condo which only allows for 1 pet, 20 pounds or less. I am willing to care for a pet in my home while you are away but obviously must be under 20 pounds. 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.
