Retired Teacher Who Loves Dogs

I’ve been an animal lover all my life, especially dogs. I grew up with dogs and have owned 2 during my 33 years of marriage and 2 now grown children. We raised a golden retriever from puppy to 13 years of age and a miniature dachshund who was with us for 15 years. I also love keeping our granddog Prince who is a 6 year old Australian Shepherd. I miss having a dog of our own, but as we are empty nesters, we find ourselves traveling often. So as you can see I need a dog fix every so often and I promise your dog would be treated with much love and affection. I am a firm believer that they are an important part of the family. If a dog can smile, you can bet that yours will be coming and going with one on it’s face.

Our dog Carla loved her stay with Sharon! She was very communicative and sent photos of our dog during her stay with her. Our dog came back happy and tired. We look forward to our next stay with Sharon and her husband!

My dog was nervous at first staying with a new person but warmed up quickly and had a great stay. Sharon was great with communicating and sending pics/videos. I will definitely try to book with her again!

Sharon made our first experience with Rover a WONDERFUL one. We felt so good with our puppy there and know she was so happy during her stay. I think she was sad to come home! We hope Sharon is available again when we go on our next trip! ❤️

I’m retired so my routine is flexible and can be modified to the needs of each dog I care for. My husband also works from home quite often so extra care is provided if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no children or pets in my home so each pet will be treated and cared for with the utmost care and love as appropriate. I have a fenced in backyard and safe neighborhood with sidewalks for leash walking. I also have access to a secluded field with trails in our neighborhood for more active dogs. I love to walk so exercise is not a challenge or concern for your dog. I also have an open floor plan living area where on occasion I play with my grand dog if going outside is not possible. So safety and enjoyment are both a priority.

A typical day

I love to show affection to your dog if they are that type. I can walk, play fetch, or chase with ball if they’re interested in running activities. My previous dog was a mini dachshund and loved to play soccer and my grand dog is a frisbee lover so I can cover a variety of activities. He also loves the constant attention of a paw massage so I am a nurturer and a fitness fan when it comes to pets.

Let me know if there’s a specific activity your dog likes or certain commands you use to communicate with your dog. I will do my best to fill your shoes as their owner. I also like to know if there are things you prefer to not have me do, such as getting on furniture or no snacks.
