Safety, trust & environment

I have completed the first aid/cpr Red Cross certification for animals. I make sure they are in my eye sight no matter where were are and what we are doing. Go with them everywhere Better safe than sorry is my motto when it comes to people’s pets. If something were to happen, you would be contacted immediately.

Information Sharon P. would like to know about your pet

All breeds, ages and sizes are welcome! I would like to know if they are not potty trained so I can keep an eye out for any accidents (and will clean them up). Also, how they react around other dogs, or people. Also if they tend to sneak through front/back doors so I can be extra careful they don't escape . I always go with the pets. Also, I continue to do whatever commands you are training or using with the pets.

A typical day

Me and your dog can take a nice walk around the neighborhood, or, if you have a park nearby that is dog friendly and has a fenced area for dogs to play, I can take them there. But I will never take your pet anywhere without your permission. Also, when I let them out in your back yard, even if it’s fenced, I will ALWAYS go out with them. I’m overly cautious if anything, but always thinking of the safety of your pets! We can play games to get their energy out and we can sit and relax too. Whatever you think your pet needs. Also, please note that I need a two hour window for a dog walk or drop in visit. Just so I can adjust my times and clients to fit everyone’s needs. Thank you

a new furever friend for your pet!

Pet care experience

I have been around animals, especially dogs, my entire life. I wanted to work with animals, but in a more personal setting. I have worked in pet stores for years, and gained a lot of knowledge through my customers, their pets, my co workers, and my own experiences and research. Then I found rover and it was perfect! I can find fellow animal lovers, and help them with their pets. I know how hard it can be to leave them, even just for a few hours. So, I want to make it easier for a pet owner to enjoy their vacation or time away and not worry so much about their furry family. I send a lot of photos and update daily. All pets, all breeds, all sizes, all ages accepted! I love taking dogs to the dog parks and letting them run around freely with other dogs (inside a fenced in area of course). If you have a particular park near your house that you like to bring your dog, let me know, and I'll bring them there for 30 min or however long you want instead of walking them around the neighborhood. But thats completely up to you. I won't ever take your dog anywhere without your permission. If my prices seem a bit high for this area, it will be worth it. Not only do I take care of your pet, I go above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy and you are happy. My business is worth what you pay, I guarantee. I have references I can give you and they will let you know how wonderful I am. I’m not one to toot my own horn...but....😉 Thank you

Sharon was wonderful with our Eloise! She sent pictures and kept in constant contact with us. We had peace of mind and were able to enjoy our getaway. Will definitely use her again!

Sharon is a great dog sitter. She takes good care of my dog and it is the second time she has done drop in’s while I am away. She really cares and does a great job! I highly recommend her.
