Pet care experience

100% Dog Lover with lots of room!!

5 Acres fully fenced in right between Edmonton & Spruce Grove! *Ongoing daycare spots are currently fully booked* I'm currently doing full days of daycare on Tuesdays & Thursdays. This means there will be several other dogs here & we spend the day playing! I may be available other days but there won't necessarily be a full group here with your dog. I will board more than 1 dog at a time, so there will be other dogs to play with. I never take on anything more than I can handle, I do meet & greets beforehand to make sure all dogs are a good fit, and I always make sure everyone gets plenty of individual love & care! I am so fortunate to now devote my days caring for these pups; both my own and yours! I provide personalized feeding times and medical administration, and I also ensure plenty of human and dog interaction, socialization and exercise! Dogs have always been a part of my life. I was a part time groomer when I was 14-18, dog sat for family and friends as a kid and that has carried on into adulthood! I watch my friends pets, and have 2 of my own- including one senior who needs special care that I'm happy to give. I've done obedience training with my own dogs, as well as conformation training when I decided to show one of my Giant Schnauzers!

I know my dogs have the best time at Sharla’s and that they are well taken care of. I wouldn’t want to leave them anywhere else.

Sharla is the best boarder that I've ever dealt with. I've been leaving my furbaby with her for over a year, and she gives text and photo updates daily. She over my dog like her own. All my neighborhood dog parent-friends also send their babies to her and they all hang out together on her beautiful piece of land. My dog LOVE going to Sharla's paradise. She treats my baby girl with so much love and attention, I couldn't imagine leaving my girl with anyone else but Sharla and Will! 💓

Sharla is awesome! This was our first time using Rover and Sharla. She was referred to us by a friend. The entire experience was easy and our dog Nova had the best time!! Sharla sent daily pictures and messages keeping us updated about Nova and what she was up to. We feel so good about leaving Nova with Sharla. She was in great hands during her stay there. We would 100% recommend Sharla!! Sam & Greg

We left our dog with Sharla while we went on an extended holiday, and she was absolutely incredible. She treated him like he was her own. We loved getting daily photo updates, which always showed him happy and completely at home. He had so much fun playing with other dogs and got so much exercise. I truthfully think he was a little sad to come back home with us. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend.

Sharla is the best dog babysitter in the greater Edmonton area. Certainly the best in Stony Plain county. Hands down. My girl Django had the best time for four days! She made many friends that were also under Sharla's care, she slept well, ate like a queen, and now she is safely home happy, well-exercised, and content now that she is home cuddling with her mom! This is the third or fourth time I've trusted my baby with Sharla, and every. single. time. she's been treated like the little princess she believes herself to be! Thank you, Sharla, for enriching my fur-baby's life, making your home feel like her home, and taking care of my baby girl just as well as I do!

Schedule

Even when I'm not running doggy daycare, I walk the dogs around the property often and throughout the day. Big and small dogs welcome, I've watched Yorkies to Labs to Great Danes; they all fit in here.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 5 acres of fenced property where I take my own dogs out for walks several times a day. The dogs are able to roam free in the house during the day and night, or I'm happy to kennel them at your request; kennels are also kept inside the house. I can leash walk dogs on a long lead until they are comfortable outside, or they can run off leash and enjoy the property & run through the trees! If this is your first booking on Rover, use my code to get $20 off your first booking with me! Promo Code: SHARLC82847 Check out my IG page just for fun: black.dog.ranch I request permission before posting pics of your pups!

A typical day

I have lots of room to play fetch and run off that energy! I bring out a doggy pool in the summer to keep them cool, and who doesn't love a pool party!? I typically stay in our fenced 5 acre yard for walking and play time. My house is open concept so we'll always be in the same room except for sleeping.
