Highlights
Pet care experience
It’s time for a slumber Paw-ty!
I am a lifelong animal enthusiast with extensive hands-on experience spanning from early childhood. My journey began living on a working ranch with animals of all kinds! As a teenager I worked at a kennel and volunteered at a local Vet’s office. I often took home and fostered dogs and cats with special needs. These foundational experiences ignited a lifelong interest in animal behavior, a subject I have studied formally and informally for years with the initial goal of becoming a veterinarian. At home, I'm a proud dog mom to two wonderful pups: Clyde: A 13-year-old, 15-pound Bichapoo who found his forever home with us in 2014. Despite some age-related sight and hearing loss, he navigates his world with incredible resilience and confidence. Millie Mae: Our energetic 2.5-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle (21 lbs) who began her formal obedience training at five months of age. My Goal: Your Peace of Mind I am extremely passionate about providing exceptional care. When you entrust your pets to me, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you are away. I provide a safe, loving, and fun "home away from home" environment where your pets are treated like royalty and can't wait to return. You can relax and enjoy your time away knowing I will keep you fully informed with daily updates, pictures, and videos.

Ratings and reviews
There was a truly no one better! We appreciate Sharie so much for her kindness and diligence - she really cares so much for our cats - I literally would not go on vacation without her!!
Sharie is the most wonderful dog sitter ever. She is very professional and knowledgeable. My dog has separation anxiety and had the best experience. She socialized and felt right at home. She loved Sharie. She was there over a week and I couldn’t have been happier with Sharie. I highly recommend her. My frenchie was so well taken care of and happy. Sharie is a lovely person and loves animals. I was very impressed with her credentials. I will definitely use her services again.
Sharie is amazing! We left our frenchie for the first time ever. Sharie knows a lot about animal behavior. She spent time getting our frenchie to trust her. When we picked our dog up, we saw that a bond had been built. This was a trial run for our booked long stay. We couldn’t be happier. We know that our frenchie will be in the best hands. Sharie is a sweetheart and a truly professional pet sitter. I highly recommend her services.
I recently had Sharie take care of my one-year-old Goldendoodle, Princess, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and attention she received. Sharie took the time to understand Princess’s needs and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. Kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats your pup like family. We will definitely be booking her again. —Laura and Princess 🐾💖
This is the second time we have left our little guy with Sharie when we were out of town. She reached out to us several times a day, each day, to let us know how Winston was doing. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that while we are out of town and perhaps feeling guilty about leaving him behind, he is actually having a great time and being very loved by Sharie and her family! It really is an amazing experience to have Sharie care for our little baby!!
Sharie was great with Rocco. Best part is she keeps you informed and communicates, you don’t have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.

Schedule
Dedicated, Supervised Care Throughout the Day As I work from home, your pet receives a lot of companionship. All outside activities, including potty breaks, are closely monitored for safety. We maintain a structured routine with frequent bathroom breaks (approximately every couple of hours) and several dedicated play sessions daily. To keep minds and bodies active, I utilize a variety of enrichment toys for mental stimulation and exercise, even incorporating basic "sit" and impulse control training into our fun! I also offer training packages.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety First: Protocols for Your Pet's Well-being Your pet’s safety and health are my absolute top priorities. I maintain rigorous standards to ensure a clean and secure environment for all my guests: Health & Certifications: I am certified in Pet CPR by the American Red Cross. Copies of current vaccinations are required for all guests. All guests must be up-to-date on vet-prescribed heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Facility & Supervision: My backyard is fully secured with a concrete perimeter wall, providing a safe space for outdoor play. I utilize gates to separate rooms and secure all outside access doors, preventing unauthorized access. For safety, all dogs are fed separately. If I must run errands, all pet families are kept separated and secure. I accept senior dogs and if preferred offer a separate, quiet space. I accept vaccinated puppies (under 1 year) and can provide a secure, "puppy proof" indoor play area/yard. For the safety of all guests, I cannot accept: Large breed puppies. Females in heat. Aggressive dogs or aggressive breeds. Intact (not spayed or neutered) pups over a year old

A typical day
Our day starts very early with an immediate potty break. We settle for a bit and then have breakfast. After breakfast, we have another potty break. We have a brief rest while we let the food settle. We then have structured play time. This could be nose work, hide and seek, tug, fetch, and/or mental stimulation, etc. Then we have another rest. We go outside several times for some fresh air and play time. We have dinner and let our food settle. We then have a final play time to exhaust our final bursts of energy. We have a final potty break right before bed time.
