I have a warm heart for cold noses

Pet care experience

Over the past 25 years, I have had 3 dogs that lived past 12 years, 2 sugar gliders, 3 cats, gecko and fish. I have pet sit for friends and family. Our latest dog who recently passed away, he was a therapy dog and then became a service dog for a family member and retired and enjoyed the rest of his senior years. I work 8:30-4:30 Monday to Friday with an hour lunch break that I can come hang out with your pets.

Sharon is an excellent pet sitter. She watched my dog Vegas for a couple of days while I was away. She is attentive. I would recommend her to anyone.

When you think of someone that is the definition of a pet lover , Sharon instantly comes to mind. Caring, compassionate and responsible are a few ways to explain her treatment for animals. Sometimes it’s hard to tell in a conversation if Sharon is talking about a pet or a close friend. Pets are always in the best of care when miss sharon comes to visit.

I do not offer pet sitting at my house but will be more than happy to take them for rides and care for them in their home.

Information Sharon H. would like to know about your pet

How many pets will I be taking care of? What is the pet's temperament? How do you deal with bad behavior? How do you reward good behavior? Are there any medical issues or allergies? What is the pet's daily routine? Who should I contact in an emergency? What are your pet's triggers?

A typical day

Dogs are individuals, as are people. I would ask the owners what kinds of activities, games their dog enjoys, and go along with those. Walks, nice long walks in parks or trails or other pleasant places are always appreciated. Games, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on your lap, being scratched and stroked. Some dogs love having their ears played with, others not so much. Some know and like doing tricks for praise and treats. Some dogs just love having someone talk to them! And many really enjoy going for rides in the car.
