Safety, trust & environment

Type & frequency of care depend on the pet(s) needs, every dog &/or cat is different so it is best to let me know if you need extra drop ins or constant care in the initial message so that we can determine the best experience and appropriate fees for you and your pets. Please always leave me a list of the daily schedule, your veterinarian and emergency contact. PLEASE NOTE: I focus on providing peace of mind for my clients by providing overnight stays with your pet in your home. **My rates listed are for overnight pet sitting plus one mid-day walk. This would look similar to the normal daily routine of someone that works a first shift schedule. If a client needs ‘Constant Care’ that is a different service & will require an Upcharge that will need to be negotiated prior to confirming the booking. The client in the following example schedule has middle aged adult dogs that do not need meds and can be home alone for up to 8hrs. Sample schedule: 8am wake, potty/walk, breakfast, leave for personal time Midday, 30 minute drop-in potty/walk, leave for personal time Evening, arrive for the night & stay until morning. If you are in need of Constant Care(at your residence) please send a message along with making your request.

Information Sheila J. would like to know about your pet

Does you pet make a run for the door every time it’s opened(escape artist)? Are they very set in their routine? Do they get stressed easily if routine is disrupted? Do they have any quirks that I should know about?Such as being nippy when back turned, toy or food aggression? A favorite toy? Special needs diet? Anything that may be unique to your pet that I might not be familiar with?

A typical day

From lounging on the couch to snuggling in bed and keeping up your dogs favorite walks or play time activities I will keep your special pup happy.

Pet care experience

My family has three beautiful dogs! I have had multiple dogs all of my adult life. We've been through ACL surgeries(TPLO), senior dog care(meds, helping up stairs), chemo, and about any crazy dog experience a person can imagine. My family can take care of our dogs while I give you the peace of mind to be away from home. I know the fear and stress that happens when leaving our pups home overnight(s). I have luckily found my own great pet sitter but still even with the greatest person in the world it can be worrying to leave our babies home. I can get along with any pet personality.

Sheila was an outstanding pup sitter! She treated my pups like her own and gave them lots of love. She also provided pics daily of them. We would definitely as her back to pup sit and recommend her to others. Thanks so much Sheila! We soooo appreciate it!

Sheila, Watched our dogs with a drop in visit she did a great job as they are older and require medication and frequent trips outside. She sent updates and pictures that were greatly appreciated and kept us informed of their well being while we were away. We will ask for Sheila again and recommend her to others.

Shiela was awesome with our dogs and cat. She is trustworthy and reliable. We came home to a happy crew, and will definitely reach out to Shiela for help with our fur babies in the future.

I've known Sheila for sometime and she is a champion for 4 legged furbabies. She looks after lost dogs and treats her own as family. She is the ONLY person I would ever leave my kids (Chihuahuas) with. I know for a fact they would be safe and very well taken care of.
