Must Love Dogs

I work remote from home Monday-Friday, and off on the weekends. Your dogs (and other pet's welcome) will have access to my entire home and 1.5 acres of large fenced in yard. Pets are allowed on all furniture and can sleep wherever they choose at night. I will take the dogs outside regularly so they can play or do potty whenever they please. If you dog prefers walks, I live on a low traffic dirt road great for long walks! I live alone, I have two rescued Dobermans and a cat. All of them are very friendly and get along great with other animals. I do have two ducks that stay outside. If your dog is not friendly with ducks, the ducks can be kept in a contained area away from your dog. In the past I have dog sat, I worked at a dog daycare/boarding/rescue organization, walked dogs, volunteered at Vet's. I would love to take care of your fur babies!!

A dog lover is the best person you would want to take care of your four legged family member when you are away from home. Sheila is great, her four legged house members are a great companion and Shrek loved them all. He will be back, for sure 👍. Thank you Sheila, for giving him a safe loving place.

greetings. Sheila was awesome. Going away for ten nights, i had two friends flake out on watching my dog who i’ve been with every day for the 8 months since i adopted her. i was stressing pretty good with my trip soon approaching. i found rover and Sheila. I liked her profile and proximity to my house. The meet and greet put me at ease as she js 2 playful doggos and a cat. Sheila is an animal lover and has a great spirit. I received updates with pics on my trip to make me smile that my dog was in the right hands. I won’t hesitate to have Sheila watch my dog in the future for sure.

Sheila (and Brooklyn ?) are wonderful!! This was the first time we were leaving our pup and it was tough! Sheila took such great care of him and sent us photos and videos of him to ease the time away from him. She went above and beyond! You can be assured your pup is in good hands with her! I definitely recommend Sheila and will be using her again next time we have to go out of town.

Sheila is the most amazing pet owner/sitter. She has a genuine compassion and love for all animals, especially dogs. When she has watched my dogs, she does an outstanding job. I am never worried for their wellbeing as I know she is there. My dogs always seem a bit more sad after Sheila leaves because she spoils them so much with her love! I'm sure my dogs wish that Sheila lived with them all of the time!

Schedule

I work 9-5. If needed, I can come home on lunch to let your dog outside in my fenced in back yard for potty break. If your dog is used to being inside during the 8 hour work day then I will plan to do potty breaks before and after work and into the evening before bed time.
