Highlights
Pet care experience
Love, care, experience guaranteed!
I’ve had 5 Old English Sheepdogs over the last 35 years and usually had two at a time. All but one were raised from puppies, trained, lovingly and gently looked after into their senior years. The other OES was a 6 year old rescue we saved from being euthanized. Sadly my last OES, who lived to the ripe old age of 14, passed away this year.

Ratings and reviews
This was the first time having to leave our dog with someone he doesn’t know and it was for just over a week and he is an anxious dog with bad separation anxiety typically but he absolutely loved his stay with Sheila. We were super nervous to leave him not knowing how he would respond being anxious and a picky eater but Sheila gave us so much comfort with providing updates and he warmed up to her and she got him to eat with no problems! We are so glad we found someone we can trust that our little guy loves and will be using Sheila again for any of our dog sitting needs. Chase absolutely adores you Sheila and we couldn’t thank you enough! Highly recommend!!
My dog had a great stay with Sheila.
Sheila took wonderful care of our dog, Red, while we were away on a road trip. From the beginning, her communication was excellent, and she sent us the occasional photo and video, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Red was in such good hands, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and wouldn’t hesitate to have Sheila watch Red again. Highly recommend!
Thanks for a great second stay! Excellent communication and a ton of love for our pup.
Hudson spent his first day and night with Sheila and things went wonderful. She even provided dog dishes which I had forgotten. Thank you Sheila for taking such good care of our boy🤗
Sheila was absolutely wonderful looking after my anxious dog, Koda, this past weekend. From the start, she was kind, patient, and incredibly understanding of Koda’s needs. I was a little nervous leaving her, but Sheila made the whole experience completely stress-free. Koda settled in so quickly with her, which says everything about the calm and caring environment she provides. It was clear she felt safe and comfortable, and she genuinely loved spending the weekend with Sheila! Sheila was also very flexible with pick-up time, which I really appreciated and made things so much easier for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sheila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you again, Sheila!

Schedule
I’ve had dogs for the last 35 years so my days usually involve a long walk, or a swim (if appropriate) and then lots of love and cuddles and playtime. I'm also a photographer so you can bet I'll be taking lots of photos of these lovely companions.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
It all depends on what the dog is used to and prefers. A recent dog that stayed two weeks would come into the bedroom at night but then wander out to the living room for remainder of night. Another dog preferred sleeping in a crate at night, which I provided. My last border liked sleeping on the bed with me.
A typical day
Always start the day with cuddles, then out to the backyard to play. Somewhere in the day we walk through the woods or go to the dog park..lots of exercise for us both. More play in the backyard at end of day, then finish day with more cuddles before bed.
