My Knowledge and Compassion to You!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. As a child I cared for my goldfish, hamster and miniature poodle. I was responsible for feeding, walking and bathing. When I was a teenager I worked as a shelter assistant in the dog room at my local animal shelter. After graduating from college I interned and then worked at two farm animal sanctuaries. For the past six years I have been working as a small animal veterinary technician. I have a great deal of experience administering medication via oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous route. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, avians, and farmed animals.

Sharnette is absolutely one of the most dedicated people you will ever know and has an unwavering commitment to the safety, health, wellbeing, and happiness of all animals! Not only was she a trusted colleague of mine at a large animal sanctuary but she is also my best friend! What makes Sharnette a perfect fit as your pet sitter is she has an expansive set of animal healthcare skills with a wide variety of species. Her animal care experience has included work in animal sheltering and sanctuaries as well as veterinary clinics spanning well over a decade of commitment for the animals. Her skills include everything from husbandry, kennel assisting, basic grooming, to high-level healthcare and medical experience in a veterinary clinic setting. She has worked closely with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes, including varying behaviour levels, and has an abundant level of experience caring for your other common companion species such as rabbits and rats. Sharnette also spent a number of years working for a veterinarian who had an exotics practice thus broadening her knowledge base in caring for your less-than-common critters. I think my favourite animal she ever had as a patient was a flamingo! She also has a great deal of experience caring for large farmed animal species, like cows, pigs, sheep, and goats, and various waterfowl and poultry species, like ducks, turkeys, and chickens. Choosing Sharnette as your pet sitter not only ensures your animals will receive the most excellent love and care because she is a passionate, life-long animal lover, but she is also an ideal choice because of her extensive knowledge in animal health. This knowledge assures she has the skills needed to provide behavioural observations and medication administration for your ageing animals or those with chronic health conditions. Sharnette is an excellent choice and I trust her with my cats’ lives as well as my own! And she also has her own fur baby, Shani, who is a very pampered little pooch who looks like a black-haired Falkor from the Neverending Story. You would be hard-pressed to find a pet sitter who will genuinely care about your animals as though they were her own companions.
