Can't wait to be friends with your dog!
Pet care experience
I am a late-twenties female with a deep love for animals. Since I am still transient I cannot own a dog myself but would love to help you take car of yours. I'm active and enjoy frequent walks with small dogs and short runs of a few miles with more athletic dog breeds. I am an experienced dog sitter and I am available weekday evenings and on weekends. I have experience with both small and large dogs from french bulldogs to huskies. I'm willing to spend time with your pup doing what they like whether it's sitting on the couch watching tv or running around the dog park playing fetch. I enjoy sitting for dogs that are well socialized but also have experience with dogs that are reactive to other dogs. About this sitter: In the spring I play rugby and usually have a game on the weekend so dogs that get alone with other dogs will have to opportunity to socialize with lots of people and other dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I am interested in owning my own dog and like gaining experience with different breeds by dog sitting. Meet my pets There are no pets in my house currently. About my yard I have a small non-fenced front yard that is good for late night potty breaks. I live a quarter mile from a dog park.
Reviews
Sharifa has taken care of my 85-pound husky many times, and always does a great job. She is quick to respond to my requests for her services (whether or not she is able to help at a particular time), and is incredibly reliable. When I used to leave instructions for her, I was confident that they were followed, and now I no longer need to do so because Sharifa already knows what to do. My dog loves Sharifa and is happy to be left in her capable hands! I would highly recommend Sharifa's dog-sitting services.

Information Sharifa L. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting for a dog I'd like to know how their temperament is and how they generally interact with people and other dogs. I do not have problems with any breeds but have a great affinity for smooshed nose dogs.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a residential portion of Del Ray. The streets are safe to walk and I live 1/3 of a mile from a dog park where well socialized dogs can go for playtime. Your dog's sleeping arrangement You dog will sleep on the floor in my room or in the living room on a provided dog bed. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan to spend several hours in the evening with your dog along with some time in the morning. Depending on the day I may also have time for an afternoon walk. On the weekend I plan to walk your dog three times a day and spend several hours with them. Extra house-sitting services If I am staying in your home I can do basic house sitting tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants.
