Prior Vet Tech Seeks Pawsome Pals
Pet care experience
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a wag or hearing a purrr. My first job was at a boarding kennel. By 17 I was assisting in surgeries as a Vet Tech. I’ve had five dogs of my own, from pups until they crossed the Rainbow Bridge, so I appreciate both puppy breath AND elderly toothless breath. I now have an adventure cat (Artie) who loves a good road trip to the mountains or coast and I’m fostering another young cat. More than anything, your furbaby will feel the respect, adoration and appreciation I have for them and their process of getting comfortable with me.
Reviews
Shera was phenomenal. My shy dog became friends with her on their meet and greet. She is both communicative and thorough with the Rover Cards; attaching pictures and videos of my fur babies. She also went above and beyond with bringing in any packages that were left outside my door while I was away. I would most definitely recommend Shera.
We lovveeeee Shera! I say we because the pictures she sends from her visits let me know how much Ollie loves his time with her too! From the get go she has been so incredible and as a repeat booker I can confirm it's stayed great! I appreciate the fact that she fills out the rover card for each visit because I am that pet parent who loves to know what ny pup did while I was out. Bit the pics she sends say it all! She helps with drop ins and tires Ollie out which is a feat for such a high energy pup! I know her drop ins match the way I'd love on him and so I highly highly recommend her! Reliable, great with the pups even in injury (see past reviews) and is just all around great! Hire her for your drop ins! Your pups will thank you!
Shera was amazing with our two kitties! We appreciate her help so much!
Shera was SO thoughtful and always put in that extra effort to make sure my old lady cat Violet was well taken care of! I could tell she genuinely cared about Violet's comfort and needs. She helped us out short notice and when I returned home, I could tell Violet had gotten lots of love and attention. She followed complicated instructions with medication management perfectly and was very communicative throughout. I will definitely be contacting Shera again!! Thank you :)
About Shera D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Building trust with animals is a process. It requires patience, consistency, clear intentions, grounded energy and reinforcement (e.g. treats, praise and hitting the tickle spot just right).
Information Shera D. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any allergies, medications or special dietary needs? What are they afraid of? Favorite toys or treats? How do they react to other animals and kids? What makes them happiest?
A typical day
In summary: Toys, treats, tickle spots. The great thing about animals is they truly understand the need for a balance between relaxation and play, so I try to provide space for both. If they need to get the wiggles out, we do that. If they need cuddles and rest, we do that.

Availability
I have a day flexible day job in ABA, where I can schedule most of my own hours & going to homes around the area is already a part of my routine.
