My husband and I had to leave our 5 yo Bichon-mix dog, Yannis, for 13 days during our vacation, and we couldn't be happier to have left him in the care of Sharon. Since it was our first time leaving him alone with someone, we opted for house sitting so that he could at least feel comfortable in a familiar environment. We met with Sharon at our home a few days before leaving in order to introduce Yannis to her. He immediately showed excitement and affection towards her and that was very comforting. Yannis was only sad the first night, but with the help of Sharon's loving and warm personality, he seemed to feel quite comfortable during the remaining of their stay together and he showed it through night and morning cuddles, licks and playful moods. Sharon took good care of our apartment during her stay and was great with Yannis. Since he had recently been sick and had a sensitive stomach in general, he needed some special care like feeding him a prescription diet only and alternating between wet and dry food, each of which had specific dosages. He also had a few quirks like getting possessive over pillows, being picky with his food, and being loud outside with dogs and trams. Sharon was great at dealing with these things when he got aggressive and there were no incidents with other dogs. She was also able to get him to eat through small tricks we taught her. We had prepared a small list of instructions as a guide and she was great at following them and always made sure she got things right beforehand. Sharon kept us updated everyday with photos, videos, and daily reports. It was very comforting to see Yannis feel so at ease and happy with her and that allowed us to enjoy our vacation properly. Finally, Sharon was kind enough to offer to get some groceries and did some cleaning and laundry before our arrival. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and she is definitely our go-to pet sitter from now on!
