Pet care experience
You had me at walk
Since I was 10 years old, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their dog(s). I've stayed overnight at their houses to provide the requested care as well as visits during the day. Additionally I’ve hosted pet(s) overnight.

Ratings and reviews
Sheila did a wonderful job taking care of our older doggo. She was super attentive and kept us informed about everything that happened during her drop-in visit. And she sent plenty of photos, which was great!
Sheila was wonderful with our pup Storm. She accommodated our request for a meet and greet beforehand and was quick to respond to any messages. Storm came home happy!
Sheila was great with Lila and very communicative! She was not phased at all by Lila’s medication schedule or special instructions for walking :) I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog!
Sheila was fantastic! Ellie had a great time and Sheila was flexible and communicative. Grateful to have a reliable and kind sitter for our pup!
Sheila was fantastic! She was very interactive with our dogs and attentive their needs. She is thoughtful and is a good, detailed communicator to us about our pups. We hope to see her again soon!
Sheila was excellent with our dog, Millie. She stayed at our home with Millie for two nights and took good care of her while we were traveling. She kept us updated on how Millie was doing and this made the whole family feel good. We highly recommend her!

Schedule
As a teacher during the academic year, I am available to provide pet care before and after school during the week. I’ll be at my school for approximately 7 hours each day. My boyfriend and I live together in our apartment and he’s also able to help providing pet care. My weekends are typically open during the academic year with an occasional event. From mid-June until late August, I have more availability during the week to provide pet care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am an active person. I enjoy running, hiking, and long walks to release energy, especially with a canine campion. I've also brought dogs to local dog parks. I enjoy playing with dogs and even lounging at the house with them. At my apartment, the shared backyard has a fence and an outdoor lead as well.
A typical day
When I serve as a temporary caretaker of the dog, I enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood. If the owner(s) and dog(s) are comfortable with car rides and other locations, I will bring the dog(s) on outdoor adventures, such as a hike on Blue Hills or run around Castle Island or visit an outdoor and pet friendly venue. On hot days I also set up a sprinkler outside to help cool down. For indoor activities, I typically play tug-o-war and fetch to help release some energy.
