Pet care experience
My quiet home is a great solution when your dog is overwhelmed by the larger daycare facilities and kennels. I've nurtured and trained dogs my entire life, from puppies to senior care. I even fostered a wheel-chair-abled Labrador Retriever for about 6 months. I can also care for cats, birds, fish, reptiles and small mammals like bunnies and rats during a home visit. I've parented one Boxer, one Bouvier de Flanders, one Lab mix and about 20 small/medium dogs including "Heinz 57" rescues, Miniature Schnauzers and Yorkies. Currently, I care for Benji (the white Miniature Schnauzer) and Mrs Wiggles (my Rescue - dachshund and herder mix). I'd be delighted to board or walk your pups while you travel or simply have complicated days.
Reviews

We left our puppy with Sharon for a week (first time she was away from us for this long) and she took EXCELLENT care of her. She was so patient with her and loved on her so well. It made the trip that much more restful knowing our girl was in the best hands.


Sharon took amazing care of our two pups while we were away for a week. We received multiple photos and updates each day which really helped put us at ease -- it was clear the dogs were enjoying themselves and were in good company. When we returned, our dogs were super happy to see us but were also notably calm upon returning home. It was evident that they had been given lots of attention and many walks! Additionally, Sharon facilitated a smooth process from beginning to end, was really easy to work with, and had all our dogs' items packed up and ready to go when we returned. We highly recommend Sharon - she really did love our pets like her own!

Rosie loves Camp Sharon! And we love getting the photo updates and knowing Rosie is comfortable and happy 💕

We are so happy to have found Sharon as we have been hesitant to go on vacation, leaving our little dog in someone else's care. He is aging and gets very stressed when his routine is disturbed. But Sharon's caring approach was wonderful and our little guy settled in quite quickly (after a bout of diarrhea which Sharon handled gracefully). She clearly knows a lot about dogs and their needs. We appreciate the frequent updates and many pictures which allowed us to relax while away. We're also thrilled that we have finally found a petsitter who offers her canine guests plenty of long walks and socialization. We highly recommend Sharon!

Safety, trust & environment
I am in an apartment so all walks at my home are on leash, preferably with harness. Walks at your house will be customized accordingly.
Home
Information Sharon Z. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs or behavior quirks for your pet. Let me know if your dog has a harness to use during dog walks. I will have a spare on hand if needed. Puppies do not need to be neutered or spayed but they do need to be vaccinated.
A typical day
We walk primarily in the woods and on the paths at Apex Community Park, yards from my patio. On really wet days we stay in the neighborhood and mulched dog park at my apartment home.
