About Sharik D.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I have a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to roam, cozy spots to rest, and lots of playtime to keep them entertained. For cats, I ensure their space is quiet and stress-free, with plenty of hiding spots and enrichment activities. I also take extra precautions to pet-proof my home, keeping hazardous items out of reach and making sure the environment is safe for curious paws.

Information Sharik D. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know as much as possible about a pet’s daily routine, preferences, and any special needs before caring for them. I like to learn about things like: Diet and Feeding Schedule: Knowing what, when, and how much to feed helps ensure the pet’s diet is consistent. Medical Needs: Any medications, treatments, or special health concerns are key to providing the right care. Behavior and Personality: Understanding whether the pet is social, independent, or has any anxiety helps me adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Exercise and Play Preferences: Some pets love a good run, while others prefer quiet play or cuddling. Knowing their activity level helps me plan fun and engaging activities. Home Environment: Any household rules or specific instructions about where pets are allowed to go, or any safety concerns, help me create a safe space for them. The more details I can get, the better I can tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while I’m looking after them!
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for starts with ensuring they’re fed, hydrated, and ready for some fun! For dogs, I begin with a morning walk or a session of fetch to get them energized. If they’re a puppy, I might sneak in a bit of basic training, like sit or stay, to keep their minds active. For senior dogs, I make sure the walk is gentle and comfortable, with extra attention to any joint issues they may have. For cats, I focus on interactive play with toys like feather wands, laser pointers, or puzzle feeders that stimulate their natural instincts and keep them entertained. If they prefer a more relaxed day, I’ll spend some quiet time petting or sitting with them while they nap or watch the world outside the window. Throughout the day, I’ll also be sure to refresh water bowls, clean litter boxes, and give plenty of love and attention. I always adjust activities to suit each pet’s energy levels and personality, making sure they feel happy and comfortable throughout the day. Whether it’s a fun game of tug-of-war, a cozy nap on the couch, or a training session, I ensure the day is full of activities they enjoy!

Passionate Pet Care with Love
Pet care experience
Hello! My name’s Sharik (or Shar for short), and I’ve been caring for fur babies for about 15 years. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my hands-on approach to their care. I’ve worked with both senior dogs and puppies, but my true expertise is with cats. I currently have three cats of my own and have had many more over my 23 years, so I’m well-versed in understanding their behavior and needs. Whether it’s helping a senior dog stay comfortable or giving a puppy the attention and training they need, I pride myself on providing personalized care tailored to each pet. I take this job seriously because I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering them the love and attention I would want for my own animals. I make sure every pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for, whether they’re young, old, or somewhere in between.
