Hi! I’m Sharon—a lifelong animal lover with both personal and professional experience caring for a wide range of species, from beloved pets to wild animals in rehab. I’ve worked over 5 years in animal care at a small zoo and nature center, and also volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve raised and released orphaned baby squirrels, cared for injured wildlife, and spent countless hours making animals feel safe, understood, and loved. At home, I’ve lived with just about every type of pet: dogs, cats, fish, rodents, birds, snakes… I’m confident with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I bring calm, kindness, and attentiveness to every interaction. Professional Animal Care Experience Includes: 🐶 Dogs & cats 🐰 Rabbits, rodents, other small mammals 🐍 Snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs 🦜 Birds- parrots, chickens, ducks, geese and more 🐎 Horses, donkeys, goats, pigs 🦝 Wildlife like deer, raccoons, opossum, raptors and alligators Whether your pet is shy or social, energetic or mellow, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they need to feel secure while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your animal family!
