I currently work a full time job as a loan specialist between the hours 6AM-2:30PM during the week. I have lots of evening time and the weekends to take care of my own pets (feeding, walking, playing, going on trips) and would love to add others to my schedule for those that need or want some extra support.

Safety, trust & environment

My care varies depending on the pet, their routine, behaviors, and owners preferences. I follow the guidelines and particular care of each animal to the owners interest and knowledge of their pet. Whether that be my friends dog who has to be crated with his one specific toy and his own radio turned to the gospel station to another owner’s instructions that their cats will only eat if you snap your fingers and say “supper time!”

Information Sharla M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is special needs, takes medication, any specific quirks, or behaviors they may exhibit. This is will help me provide the best care and experience for your pet, you, and myself.

A typical day

I typically like to start out with their walk to engage their senses and provide that bit of mental and physical stimulation. Afterwards, I give them some time to settle and will give them their meal, to insure bloat is not triggered and they can digest their food properly. I will let them rest and nap. If they need any further mental or physical stimulation; I give them toys, puzzles, or treats through enrichment and engagement activities. Any specific activities or routines can be implemented through communication and direction from the owner.

Pet care experience

I have life long experience with caring for different types of animals. My most experience comes from dogs (all sizes), cats, guinea pigs, and rats etc. I have experience pet sitting in particular for about 3 years now for family, friends, and others. I have personally cared for puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors. From bottle feeding all the way to the last moments.

Sharla took such incredible care of my two feline children, Rug and Stormy, while I was away on a family vacation last year. I had never left them for that long before, so I was naturally a little nervous, but Sharla made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. It truly meant the world to be able to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about them. Sharla is simply the best, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Sharla is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She is the only person we trust to watch our sweet boy, Dax, and that says everything. From the moment we leave him with her, we have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in the best hands. She truly treats Dax like royalty spoiling him with love, attention, and top notch care. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and it shows in how happy and well cared for Dax is every time we come home to him. If you’re looking for someone dependable, loving, and attentive, Sharla is it. We couldn’t recommend her more!

I feel comfortable leaving my dog in Sharla’s care. Koda has separation anxiety, but Sharla has sent photos of him napping and playing, and it puts me at ease knowing he’s not stressed when I’m away.
