A Cozy Home on a Golf Course

Pet care experience

I am a dog-lover who worked as the Adoption Center Director for a no-kill animal shelter. My responsibilities included walking dogs, testing dogs, training dogs, facilitating adoptions and fostering dogs. Since that time, I have been dog-sitting and dog-walking for my friends whenever they travel. I have owned dogs my whole life and I have experience working with dogs with special needs and behavior problems. I am available to board dogs in my house or your house. I love sleeping with dogs so your dog can sleep in the bed with me if that is what he/she prefers. I’m also available to just come walk your pup/s if that is what you need. I’m flexible and happy to work with you on your dog’s needs to make sure your dog feels happy and safe.

Sharon was fantastic! Arrived everyday on time or early, took Tallie for Duke 30 minute walks (or runs, depending on Tallie’s mood), and sent pictures during each walk. I would definitely look to Sharon for future dog care needs.

The risk with introducing your furrry friend to Sharon is that he/she/they might become too attached to her. She treats every pet as if they are her own and will go above and beyond always. We have three dogs and Sharon stayed with them while we went to Europe for two weeks. We got photos that showed her bathing them, taking them on hikes, and spoiling them with treats she bought for them. They probably wished we'd stayed in Europe longer!

There is no better person to care for a dog than Sharon. Sharon loves and understands dogs like no one else I know. Sharon can tame my naughty dogs in the first hour that she is with them; while we have not gotten them under control in the three years since adopting them. Sharon is a kind, likable, honest person who has become a favorite dog walker for her clients and their dogs too :).

A typical day

I live on a golf course with walking trails all around me. We will go for long walks and spend time playing in the house. I love to sleep with dogs so your pup is welcome to share my bed with me. If you prefer I come to your house, that’s fine too.
