Your furbaby is treated like family
Pet care experience
I love all animals, but have a special place in my heart for dogs. I have had over 20 years experience caring for my own dogs and took them with me to 2 different countries for work. They were very well taken care of and both lived to 19 years old. I recently got a puppy and he is 13 months old. Needless to say, I have a wealth of experience with taking care of senior dogs as well as energetic puppies. I am very particular with what I feed my dogs, so I prepare homemade food and home made treats. If your dog is permitted, he/she will get to enjoy home made liver treats and pupcakes! I work full-time from home and have my own puppy to take care of, so adding a 2nd little furry companion won't be a problem. We go on several walks a day and if you dog needs more frequent potty breaks, that won't be an issue. My home is puppy proof since I have an 8 month old ball of energy! I am in an apartment so there aren't any stairs for senior dogs. I don't have a fenced areas, however, I have access to ground floor for leashed potty breaks.
Reviews
Sharon was amazing!!!! It was our first time leaving Bruno with a sitter that also has a puppy of her own. She met with us before our trip to give a chance for our two puppies to meet and hang out. After meeting her and watching her play with our puppy, we felt 100% comfortable leaving Bruno in her care. Our trip schedule changed at the last minute and she was flexible with the drop off and pick up times - a huge stress relief. During his stay with Sharon, she gave him constant attention and kept him busy with activities and stimulated with puzzles. She enough cooked him great homemade meals. And he played with her puppy like they had been best friends forever. He was so spoiled! It was so reassuring knowing he was so well cared for. She kept us updated with frequent pictures and adorable videos. Thanks again for taking such great care of Bruno. You rock!!! We would definitely use her again.
probin, is the best dog mom I’ve ever encountered. The way she has treated her fur babies, is absolutely above and beyond. The way she loves all other dogs speaks to how she loves with her whole heart. She loves mine, like they are her own. Her heart is so big, and after losing her two older ones of old age, the way she cared about them, I would never have any hesitation to ask her to care for mine.
Probin is the best dogsitter you will ever find. Her love for dogs is out of this world. She takes pride in giving her dog the best diet and will spend hours playing with them everyday. When probin took care of my furbaby, my furbaby was always happy and played with her furbaby. She even made videos of them which i still treasure after many years. Probin is a very loving dog caregiver and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dogsitter.

You fur baby will have free reign of my home as it's already puppy proof. Dogs who are boarding have the option of sleeping in a crate, or on a dog bed in my room.

Information Sharon T. would like to know about your pet
As I am in apartment and have a puppy of my own, I am unable to care for super high energy or aggressive dogs. Please provide me with any special needs your dog may have so I can be prepared for them. Please be advised that I can only care for dogs who are fully vaccinated with their rabies, distemper, parvo, and kennel cough vaccines as I have a puppy. I will need to see proof of vaccination. Thank you for your understanding.
A typical day
Both mental and physical stimulation is important. I have a lot of enrichment toys to keep dogs engaged and entertained. I enjoy taking my dog to off-lash dog parks, but when I am caring for other people's dogs, I feel it is best to keep them to just leashed walks. Due to the unpredictability of other dogs at an off-leash park, I do not feel comfortable with the potential risks of being off-leash with other unknown dogs.

Availability
I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I have a small dog, so having a 2nd small dog is a welcome addition on walks. My dog is friendly and would love having a playmate for the day.
