Pet care experience

I fall in love with the dogs I watch immediately. I’m very concerned about their well-being & happiness. Since I am home all day with them, I talk to them and take time to give them love and I love to play with them. I am very tuned into their moods and activity. If I have any concerns, I let their parents know right away. I have a teacup Shih Tzu named Bella & love her to pieces. I’ve watched many dogs over the years for family and friends and started watching them on Rover for quite some time!! I love meeting new dogs and their parents too! When I can help a dog and his or her parents in need, I feel very happy and find this rewarding!! Your dog will get lots of love from me while you’re away at work or play!! My mom had 2 dogs and so did I and we always watched each other’s dogs when needed. I am very used to handling multiple dogs and giving each one individual attention. I am also used to giving oral medication to dogs or ear drops, etc. I am very attuned to each dog’s needs. Some are perfectly happy to be somewhere new and some have anxiety. I always know by the dog’s demeanor which category they fall into and make sure to do everything that I can to help the dog who might be anxious. I’m loving and kind to all my dogs. Usually, when a dog is in a new place, they will have some “accidents” instead of doing their business outside until they get used to my home. This doesn’t upset me at all. Sometimes, dogs won’t eat right away at a new place. I try to alleviate this problem by separating the dogs so they feel more comfortable eating their food. Dogs are very smart and, so far, I haven’t had any problems. They each have their own personality and I enjoy discovering each one!!

Sharon was amazing with Charlie who stayed for a week. He hadn’t stayed with a pet sitter who he didn’t know before and was very anxious. Sharon did all she could for our over anxious dog and managed to calm him within a day. Very clean and calm home. Would highly recommend.

I am so grateful to have found Sharon! She is helping me to get my Sassy, a 10 year old dachshund, used to being without me. She has gone out of her way to make Sassy as comfortable as possible so that when I actually leave for an extended trip my "fur baby" will be okay. Thank you so much, Sharon, for being such a wonderful person!!!

Sharon was fantastic with watching Bogey during a family emergency. He was still stressed from our recent move but Sharon was able to calm him, nurture him and make him comfortable in her home! I highly recommend Sharon!!

Sharon was wonderful with Morgan . She kept us updated constantly with pics of Morgan . We have never left Morgan before with a stranger but would do it again because Sharon made us feel very comfortable and she took great care of him . Poor Sharon was sick while she was taking care of Morgan but you would never know it ... she kept us updated with pics all day long! We can’t say enough good about Sharon and would recommend her highly!

Information Sharon F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all about the dog. His/her habits, whether they get along well with other dogs and people. If they feel threatened by anything (i.e. men, thunder, etc), their personality traits, their eating habits, their bathroom habits, etc. I want to know everything so that I can give your dog a great experience while they stay with me!

A typical day

Since I am a bit disabled, I can’t go on long walks. But I love playing with dogs and always spend lots of time to give hugs & kisses and love them up!! Since I am home all day, I talk constantly to the dog and they follow me everywhere, which I enjoy!! Dogs bring me comfort, love, companionship and joy!! I specialize in older dogs who may require more attention and medications. I don’t know how to give injections but would be willing to learn.
