Information Sheila L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know ahead of time if your pet is shy and needs more time feeling comfortable with a new person, requires any special care, if they get treats, exact feeding (if needed), medications, or anything else they particularly like so I can give them the best service!

A typical day

I love to stimulate both dogs and cats with play time, go on nice long walks, and give lots of attention with pets and cuddles, as long as they are comfortable with it. I want to make sure your pet is happy and feels loved with every visit!

Happiest when I’m with animals!

Pet care experience

I am an extremely caring and compassionate person with a deep love for animals. I have always been especially comfortable with dogs and cats, having grown up surrounded by multiple cats throughout my life. I currently have a sweet dog and an amazing cat who truly mean the world to me! I have extensive experience caring for pets of family members, including regularly cat-sitting for my brother’s two cats while he is away on vacation. This includes overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning. I have also stayed at my aunt’s home for week-long periods, fully caring for her two dogs and one cat as if they were my own, handling all of their daily needs, exercise, and affection. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Friends and family have always had dogs and cats, and I’ve loved spending time playing with and caring for them since I was a little girl. In fact, my family often jokes that the first thing I do when visiting anyone is greet their pets! I truly believe animals are family and deserve to be treated with love, patience, and respect. For dog walking, I genuinely enjoy exploring with dogs and making walks both fun and enriching. I believe regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential for a dog’s happiness and well-being, especially with me being a very active person myself! For drop-in visits, I provide attentive care filled with playtime, affection, and positive energy. With a lifetime of experience around animals, I know how to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and excited during my visits. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing exceptional care you can trust!

Sheila did a fabulous job! She cared for and loved my pets and made them so happy and did all of the essential things needed for an outdoor job. She is a good correspondent and took great pictures.

Sheila did an outstanding job taking care of our German Shepherd while on vacation. The updates and pictures we received were excellent! We knew from the them that we had nothing to worry about while being away. I would highly recommend Sheila and we will be user her in the near future. Thank you, Sheila!
