Some things to think about:
"A human walk in the twilight is a pallid affair to that being experienced by their dog. Rabbit. Mouse. The dog at the house next door. The ginger tom. Toffee. Dead bird. Earth worm. Pizza wrappings. The dog from number seven. Unknown cat. Frog."
– Pam Brown b.1928
Meet the Owner
Sharon's first love has been of animals wild and domestic ever since her family took in a Pomeranian from a friend who had been sick often and would leave the dog with them. When the owner died, Sharon and her family had fallen in love with this little dog who never knew how to bark and "guard the house" until a short time later. That was forty some years ago.
The love of animals has not diminished over the years; rescuing box and snapping turtles from getting killed on the road, rescuing an opossum from a neighbor's dog, caring for and releasing robins, and even being brave enough to hold a skunk that still has its scent sack intact. Now that's brave!
Sharon has a Pomeranian named Megan who likes to get attention by jumping into everyone's lap, to divert their attention from everyone else. Her cat Smudge is a white domestic short hair with a blue eye and and green eye, adopted 2004. A sweet and cuddly boy, he will greet you outside when you come into the driveway and will go in and out of the house all day.
A third member of the family was added after Cissy, her Sheltie died in 2004. Casey Jones is also a Mohogany Sable Sheltie who was adopted from the South Carolina Sheltie Rescue in Columbia January, 2005. He and Sharon does agility training winning this year his Excellent Jumps with Weaves (2007). Casey is really a find; intelligent, sweet and very sociable and a "want to please" dog. You can see him in the "friends" photo section.
Blueberry is Sharon's second cat and fourth member of the family, who stays inside and wandered into her yard as a kitten in 2006. "Blue" is a long-haired calico and seems to enjoy jumping on and attacking everyone; she is sweet when she decides to lick you and can be cuddly.
Sharon started her business in 1994. Since then, Canines N' Cats Pet Sitting Service has been steadily growing each year, with continuing success in customer satisfaction. She joined Pet Sitters International (PSI) in 1995. PSI offers conferences where she goes to network and gets continuing education on the pet sitting industry.
Sharon is certified in pet first aide and has taken courses to become an animal care specialist. Also, she is an Emergency Animal Rescue Volunteer for EARS of the United Animal Nations Organization.
