Pet care experience

Lots of love to share

I have had, raised or been around animals my whole life. I am patient and kind. I am able to give medicine, specialized food that needs extra preparation, accommodate pee pads, cage or no cage. I offer a quiet home that can benefit all types of personalities and especially for dogs that are nervous when their family is on vacation. I will watch one family of dog(s) at a time. Since all dogs are different, we can work together to make sure your dog is comfortable and well card for while you are away.

Sheila truly loves the dogs she watches! While she was watching my German shepherd someone was shooting off fireworks nearby. She let him lay on her so he could stay clam, he is over 100lbs! Will definitely book with her again, I could see through the pictures she sent that he had a blast and was very comfortable with her!

Another great experience for our dogs. It’s like they are on their own vacation and we get updates on how they are doing. Thanks again Sheila!

I had to remind myself not to be selfish before posting this review - knowing full well that since Sheila only boards one family of dogs at a time, being as effusive in praise as she deserves means I’m less likely to be able to schedule her services in future if people take my advice. Sheila is communicative and kind and took care of Samoa incredibly well. She sent daily updates as we’d talked about, so I didn’t have any worries while on vacation. She’s brilliant, and I highly recommend her.

Sheila did a fabulous job with Gemma. I was worried Gemma would be traumatized since we never left. Sheila made Gemma feel at home in her house. We loved getting an update with photographs daily.

Sheila was amazing, she sent us daily updates about our dog and made sure that she was treated as well as we treat her.

Schedule

I am typically home all day and night, as needed. I recently lost my 100 pound loving fur baby so I have tons of love and time to give.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard for bigger dogs. I do not walk dogs outside of my property but they can run and play as much as they want. I only watch one family of dog(s) at a time so there is more time for spoiling and special requests. As I said, I recently lost my wonderful dog so there are no other animals in my home. I have a park like backyard with a large grassy area and trees.. See photos for yard. Bring your favorite toys. I don't crate unless requested. My dog was very picky about everything so I can work with most personalities. I can also care for your dog(s) in Your home. My dog was not happy with a large doggy daycare so I understand your dog may not be comfortable outside of their home.

A typical day

I can throw balls, toys, etc. Chase and run around the yard. Sit on the floor or sofa and cuddle. Every dog is different so I will follow your lead for individual needs.

I like to know as much as possible about your dog ahead of time so it is a smooth transition. I like to know your go to words for potty, bed time, food time, etc.
