Hello! I'm Sharon, I am a devoted meowmy to 2 cats and an avid animal/ pet lover. In my younger years, I've had dog and Chinchilla experience.
I've personally experienced the anxiety of finding a sitter/ boarder who cares for my pets like their own, understanding their own unique character traits, as well as needs and wants. Also realised that there aren't many sitter options in my area of residence. Hence I'd like to take this opportunity on Pawshake to contribute my care and love for pets to support fellow pet parents in my area. What's more important to me is your connection and comfort with me. So, let's have a chat, let me know your needs and we can work from there.
I have close friends who are also animal lovers and I've helped them out with boarding as well as house visits whe they travelled in the past. I believe in advocating for animals, who do not have the priviledge of their own voices and have volunteered in a rostered community cat feeding group for a number of years. I love nature and animals, and try to at least spend a trip a year a more rural trip or diving, to connect with nature and the wonders of the mysterious 70% of the world underwater.
Would love to help you out with house visits for cats, dogs or any other small animals and daily walks for doggos. I can feed wet food, dry food, refreshing water and medication and have no qualms about cleaning up messes. I am well experienced in kitty playtime from handling and growing with my own 2 cats. And I enjoy it! I will give you photo/ video updates with each visit. I am also happy to do errands around the house like picking up mail, watering plants etc.
I am currently working in an office job but will have time in the morning/ evening/ nights and weekends.

This was my first time committing to a cat sitter and Sharon did not disappoint! I was a little apprehensive whether Sophie would be OK with a stranger because she is usually more shy, but Sharon was able to put her at ease and both Irin & Sophie took to her very naturally. Sharon also sent daily updates and videos which was very reassuring for me too :) Will recommend!
Sharon was great with our two cats! Right from the meet and greet, I could tell that she loved cats (which isn't actually as common as you would think for sitters!). We have two cats - one a little shy with strangers, and one who is affectionate but anxious. Both our cats (even the shy one!) loved her right from the start during her meet and greet. Sharon spent the whole time engaging with them - coaxing them out, playing with them etc. We could tell that our cats would be in good hands with Sharon.
During our time away, Sharon was very reliable, showing up when she said she would. She warmed up raw food for our boys, fed them with no issues, played with them, provided lots of updates and cleaned their litter box. She could sense that there was some sibling rivalry going on, so she took the extra step to play with them separately so that each of them would get quality time with her. She even took the initiative to give them treats after the meal and do high fives with them without us asking her to do so. Our boys were very happy!! She also sent us lots of updates and pictures so we didn't have to worry.
Would highly recommend Sharon to other cat parents!
