Sharon L. Pet Care Provider in Spindale, NC 28160

I'm a college-educated, single woman who loves animals, sometimes in preference to people! I've been house and pet sitting for about 25 years, more or less. I have cared for cats, dogs, horses, goats, birds, and a guinea pig! in California, New Jersey, and North Carolina. I have also painted a few portraits of my clients (the pets, that is!)
I have worked in a veterinary practice in New Jersey, both in front and as a vet assistant, and have acted as a cat behavioral consultant and grief counselor, through that practice. I now spend my time as a volunteer for the Rutherford County Humane Society, with which I act as vice president, cat adoption coordinator, and transport coordinator. Since we have no facility, I can work from any location, since my job is almost completely online and by phone.
I do have several pets of my own, and sometimes a foster dog or cat or two, so I can only stay onsite in situations where my dogs could come too, and close enough so that I can get home to care for the cats at least once a day. Otherwise, I'm able to visit one to three times a day (as in the case of a disabled pet needing extra care), within a limited area near my home, although, with added financial incentive, to allow gas usage, I could arrange to stay onsite at a more remote location, as long as I could get home for at least one visit daily.
Of course, I bring in mail (sorting if necessary), tend to house plants, rotate lights, and clean up after myself and the animals, and leave the place looking as good as I found it.
I've never had a complaint about my work, and have always had repeat customers. I look forward to meeting new companions and spending quality time with them. I cannot replace an owner, but I can make the time away more comfortable for the animals, and provide peace of mind for you.
