Loving Care When You're Away

I'm a dog, cat, and horse person and love the companionship of animals, especially Dachshund’s. My human children have grown up and my pets have crossed the rainbow bridge. Now I have time to care for your fur babies while you're away. I'm clean, quiet, fun-loving, caring and trustworthy. When I pet sit for you, you can have peace of mind about your home, garden and pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are family and I treat them with care and attention, all the time. My pets went almost everywhere with me, and many adventures were planned for them, and with them. If you have a yard, your pet and I will be in it often, playing, laying in the sun, and enjoying life. Safety and health concerns will be taken seriously, and extra diligence will be given to pets with health or behavioural concerns.

Shari was so wonderful and caring with Sully. He is an older dog and was perfectly happy when I returned as he had been cared for so lovingly. Shari also left the house cleaner than when she arrived. As amazing person that truly loves animals!

Shari is a great cat sitter! Shari stayed at our place for a little over two weeks to take care of our cat Scout. She was a great communicator and sent us pictures of Scout on our vacation with regular updates. She is very clean and tidy. She took amazing care of our Scout and our house. Would highly recommend!

Shari was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, she took great care of my little fur babies and kept my home very clean, I didn't have to do anything when I got home, I can't say enough great things about her ❤️ Will hire her again hands down!

Our boys got to go for a walk everyday and they seem to have settled in with Shari very quickly.

Shari watched our senior dachshund for the weekend and was fabulous! Our dog was well loved and our home impeccably cared for.

Schedule

I'm a Clinical Counsellor and I work as a Team Lead at a woman's shelter in SE Calgary. On most days I'm out of the house from 8:30 to 4:30. In some circumstances I can bring a well behaved dog with me to work on a Monday or Friday. Occasionally I can work from home all day, or for part of the day. On weekdays, I wake up early, take a short walk and do pet minding before work. After work is the time for longer walks, playing, good food, and cuddles. Weekends are wide open for fun and games!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Shari can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviours I can account for. My preference is for cats and small or medium size dogs who sleep in their own bed, and live in central or south east Calgary. I can care for multiple pets!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
