Pet care experience

I love yours like my own!

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.

Pepper seems very pleased with his stay! Lots of pictures from Sharon and she was always in touch. He went on plenty of walks. We will definitely be using her service again!

Sharon was a wonderful caretaker. She took in Jiajia like she was one of her own puppies. She sent daily updates on her food, bathroom, and adjustment habits which were helpful in making me feel comfortable that she was the right person to take care of her.

Sharon is a great pet sitter. She provided lots of updates of how my dog's stay was going, took him on many walks, and made sure all his needs were met. I would recommend her services to others!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 07, 2026

Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.

Sharon was absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our puppy Lilly and kept us informed throughout - we loved the updates and photos! Will definitely be booking with Sharon again in the future!

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Sharon can host up to 3 pets per night
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.
