Pet care experience

Dog, cats, rats. I love them all.

I LOVE ANIMALS. I'm especially fond of dogs. I got my first pet dog at the age of 2 years old and I've had dogs my entire life. In 2008, I became because of my love for all animals. My experience includes caring for multiple breeds. The bigger breeds: Pit bull, Akita, Husky, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Boxer and Labrador. The small/medium breeds: Chihuahua, Yorkie, Dachshund, Poodle and Snauzer. I have experience administering oral and intravenous medication.

Shiela was great! Our pups seemed to enjoy her very much and were very well taken care of. When we leave, we are usually gone for a week or more so it’s important to us that our babies have someone that will love them like we do and Shiela did just that!

I would give Sheila 10 stars if I could. She's prompt, kind, and absolutely adored by our two dogs. She'll always be our first call when we need someone to look after our pups.

Five stars! Sheila is an absolute angel! We had to leave our Jack Russell and Yorkie for several days to attend a family reunion. She took the time to understand their personalities and kept us up to date with lots of pictures. Sheila not only took wonderful care of our dogs, she did a great job watching our home (even watering plants in the high heat). We came home to two happy pups and a wonderfully tended home. Will definitely hire her again and am happy to recommend her to everyone.

Sheila was absolutely amazing! We thought we'd have to take both dogs with us on a 2 week road-trip because they had never been without us for so long, and usually don't take to strangers. They loved Sheila! She sent us pictures, and kept us updated the entire time! Thank you so much, Sheila! Hope to book you in September when we go to Tahoe for a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pet friendly home. My couch is not off limits. It's my snuggle station. My yard is large and fenced in. Potty breaks are done one at a time and I'm present the whole time.

Pets

A typical day

I know how difficult it can be for dogs when their owners are away or at work. I'm willing to do whatever I can to insure that your fur baby is happy when you're gone. I'm up for the young and energetic and the older laid back types.

I would like to know about your pet's personality. What's their routine at home? What do they like to do. I enjoy all breeds of dogs.
