Pet care experience
Senior Dog Mom & Pet Sitter
Hi, I'm Sharon! I'm a dependable, mature pet sitter and dog walker who provides loving, personalized care for dogs and cats in the Acworth, Dallas, Kennesaw, and surrounding areas. As a longtime rescue dog mom, I've cared for my dog, Gracie, from puppyhood through her senior years. This experience has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying attention to each pet's unique needs and routines. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and boarding in a calm, family-oriented home. With a background in healthcare, I'm detail-oriented, comfortable following care instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, or overnight care, I'll treat them with the same kindness, attention, and respect I give my own dog. My goal is simple: to help your pet feel at home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I've seen Sharon care for her dog, Gracie, for the past 10 years. Gracie takes daily medication, so Sharon is used to paying attention to routines and making sure she gets the care she needs. She's also watched a family member's dog several times when they went on vacation. Sharon enjoys spending time with dogs, including going for walks, playing, and just relaxing with them. I'd have no hesitation trusting her with my own pet.

Schedule
Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life. I've cared for my rescue dog, Gracie, since she was a puppy, and she remains an important part of my daily routine. Walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection are simply part of my day. Because I work on a flexible, part-time basis and am naturally a homebody, I have the availability to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and helping them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their families are away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and family-oriented environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I live in a quiet subdivision and share my home with my sweet senior rescue dog, Gracie, who has been part of my family for many years. To help ensure a positive experience for everyone, boarding and daycare guests should be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention and be friendly with other dogs. While I do not have a fenced yard, all walks, outdoor time, and potty breaks are closely supervised and on a secure leash, so your pet's safety is always a top priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, loved, and secure while maintaining the familiar routine they know and trust.

A typical day
A typical day in my care includes plenty of love, attention, and one-on-one interaction. We'll enjoy peaceful walks through my quiet neighborhood, taking in the sights, sounds, and fresh air at a pace that's comfortable for your pet. At home, we'll spend time playing with toys, enjoying treats (if approved), and relaxing together. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. My goal is to provide a calm, home-like environment where pets can enjoy their routine, receive lots of affection, and feel like part of the family while you're away.
