Highlights
Pet care experience
Walking adventures!
Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sharon is wonderful! She took great care of our dog for the day. We highly recommend her!
We have had the pleasure of entrusting Sharon with the care of our beloved dog Nova and our cherished cat Cleo on numerous occasions, and we cannot express how grateful we are for the exceptional service she provides. Sharon's dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly make her an outstanding pet sitter. She has both boarded and stayed in our home. As a guest she is clean, thoughtful, and respectful and takes Nova on lots of walks. Would highly recommend for sitting, boarding, or walking.
Simply put, Sharon is the greatest! She took care of my dog a number of times, and I always felt safe and secure knowing that Hoover was with her! She loves all dogs like they are her own.... She is the only person that I truly trusted with my dog. The only reason Sharon isn't watching my dog anymore is because she has crossed over the rainbow bridge. I couldn't recommend her any higher! She is a gem!

When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

A typical day
Armstrong Woods is a favorite spot for long walks, allowing time to sniff along the way. Also Ragle Ranch, Laguna de Santa Rosa trail, West County Regional Trail, and sometimes even the Sonoma Coast if time allows. Dog parks are also an option, especially for those frisbee or tennis ball-loving dogs. If your dog loves to play fetch, that will definitely happen.
