Pet care experience

Paw-fect Care: TLC & fun play!!

Hello pet parents, I recently retired from the corporate life to pet your dogs and cats on a full-time basis! I grew up in rural Southern IL and cared for multiple dogs, cats, and horses that were part of our family. I currently love and care for our high-energy Aussie/Border Collie mix dog who is 10 years old and is always up for an adventure. In addition, I have had the pleasure of taking care of family, friends and neighbors' pets when they have needed assistance.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog has a specific routine each day, so I want to maintain your pet's routine while you are away. Provide me with information on your pet's personality, play habits, food & treat preferences, comfort zone and how they give/receive affection. In addition, I am certified in Pet First-Aid & CPR to provide further peace of mind while caring for your pets.

House Sitting • Aug 07, 2026

Shari was amazing with my two senior ladies. She was able to administer medication, gave updates with photos, navigate an unexpected house alarm, come for a meet & greet ahead of time. We will definitely use her service again!
