Animal lover! 💚 outdoor enthusiast

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs, horses and other animals my entire life. I was raised around horses and other animals on farms and when old enough worked I worked with them. I’ve always had dogs growing up and still do. I’m very familiar with dog behavior training and how to read their signals/triggers. I currently have a dog now that is so well behaved he rarely uses a leash :) & is wonderful with our eight month old son. I care for dogs like family & you wouldn’t regret hiring me to care for your furry friend! I show them love and respect and a fun time! Sometimes I also bring my infant son with me, I hold him but your dog has to be okay with a little person :) at least to the point he won’t bother the dog and the dog doesn’t try to jump up and bite him! 😜

Sharon is amazing!!! Hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. While I was gone she sent me text, and video updates of what my dog Benny was up to. She treats your animal like her own. Highly recommend using her services. Your pet will thank you :).

Sharon is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had! She is reliable, punctual, and great with dogs. My dog isn’t too friendly, but LOVED Sharon! Definitely recommend!

Sharon was great with my two dogs, she was on time, diligent with walking them, dropping in to check on them and feeding them when I worked and caring for them. My two pups truly enjoy time with her. She seems to really be a dog lover and caring as well. I will continue to use sharons services. Definitely recommend!

I have worked with Sharon Spata in the past and I can truly say that she gives the utmost professional care towards Animal. One in Particular was Vinno Rosso who won the Throughbred Breeders Cup Classis. Vinno Rosso was in Sharon's care at Crupis New Castle Farm. Sharon Loves Animals to the Fullest. Awesome working alongside her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard if they need to come to my home for a short stay. If I am at a clients home and wishes for their pet to be let into their fenced yard I will ensure safety once the dog is in & the gate is secure. Your furry friend must get along with another dog, and there is an infant in the home, who i keep separated but if they do come together can’t be aggressive. :) your dog would have a blast here playing with Arie’s toys outisde!

Information Sharon S. would like to know about your pet

Of course I went to know what your furry pal loves! But I also like to know what they do not like or what scares them; Mail trucks, wet paws, loud noises, etc

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. I would make sure they walk, jog and get some playtime if they like such as a ball or tug a war rope. I will also ensure they drink water during the walk if they would like.

Availability

I’m a first time stay at home mom with an infant, We go for walks daily, and currently care for neighborhood dogs, since I am flexible I’m here to expand my availability. I want your dog to have undivided attention so I will only accept one dog or family per walk, unless you prefer your pal to have a friend. ***I usually do not do overnight or doggy daycare, but in certain circumstances if everything works out with scheduling and your pets character I can consider it. Must be okay with dogs, left alone for short periods, trained inside the home, and ok being outside fenced in.
