Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Sheela and I do Dog-sitting out of my own house. I have had a German Rottweiler and 2 bunnies myself in the past. I loved them dearly and always provided the absolute best care for them. I have done pet-sitting for my sister's German Shepherd and Terrier mix and my friend's Chihuahua mix. Just recently I boarded 2 wonderful Bulldogs at my house for 3 months while their Guardian was traveling for work and also had a lovely Old English Sheepdog stay with us as well as plenty others. At the moment, I have a 13 yr old female Bernese Mountain/Shepherd mix who we adopted and a 4 yr old male Chugle tripod rescue, so your pet will have nice playmates while they stay at our home. I also have a super cute rescue bunny! I have a 17 year old daughter who loves animals and is very respectful to them. I am very passionate about animals and I am an animal advocate, I do whatever I can to help and fight for animals. I sign petitions, write letters to decision makers, build awareness, etc. My future goal is to work in animal rescue or rehab one day, and to live on a small farm when I retire. We have a 1 story, 4 BD house w/a large fenced backyard and we are located a short walk away to a very nice neighborhood park. Feel free to contact me anytime to discuss your needs for your precious one :-) About this sitter: Born and raised in SJ Bay area. I graduated from CSUH in '95 and since then have worked in several different fields such as Dental, Travel, Biotech, & Education. Some of my hobbies include animal advocacy, spending time with my family and friends, movies, traveling, cooking, sewing, coffee, Yoga, history, gardening, and shopping. I currently work part-time as a Sub Teacher a couple days a week, however I'm home most full days of the week and in the early afternoons on the other work days to spend time with your furry ones :-) I have a fenced yard and I keep pets inside the home, unless they want to play in the yard :-) I do use crates for the pets if I go out for an errand or something for their own safety.

Sheela was amazing! She was very communicative, proactive and flexible! She sent me updates all the time and made me feel at ease. She took very good care of Nico and Tuco. I could tell from the pictures she took my babies weren't stressed and in good hands. I would highly recommend her! :))

This was our first trip since getting our doggie, Kai, and we definitely picked the right sitter! Sheela took such great care of Kai and sent updates and photos daily which put our minds at ease. Thank you Sheela!

Nice meeting you and your family, Sheela. Thanks for taking good care of Akira. Sheela keeps us updated on Akira with photos which keeps us worryfree and at ease. Would definitely recommend and look you up again if we’ll go on vacation.
