I love caring for and connecting with animals. I provide the same care for your pets as I do my own, and ensure that they receive the highest quality care while you're away or just busy at work.
When you live a busy life, it is hard to consistently provide the attention and care that your pets demand and deserve. You can rely on me to care for your pets when you're away.
I am always prepared for any pets' needs and ensure that your pet will receive the best care and love. Their happiness and care is my priority and I strive to provide a service I would want my own pets to receive.

I have always felt a special affinity with animals. I have grown up with them all around me - from dogs and cats to budgies, chickens and ducks. I also had a childhood addiction to horses which led me to find work in a riding school in exchange for lessons. I have always enjoyed the company of many pets and right now my house is full with my dog, cats and budgies (and human kids). I have many years experience with all different types of our furry and feathered friends and have accredited qualifications in the following areas - CERT III in Companion Animal Services, Certificate in Animal Nutrition with HATO, Educated in Dog Training and Behaviour with NDTF as well as a PET TECH CPR and First Aid Certificate.
I have also studied and enjoy Pet Photography. You can see some of my photos below.
Sharon Zagame - Owner of Faithful Friends Pet Care
I first met Sharon over 5 years ago. Her love of animals was evident by the care and love she gave to her own 3 dogs, 2 cats, multiple fish and many birds. During that time she has attained formal qualifications, volunteered at animal shelters and shown great skill in caring for the many fosters and strays that come to her, looking for love, warmth. healing and understanding. Many of the animals have had special needs, both in aspects of health and in some cases behaviour and Sharon's skills and kindness have turned them around in no time.
She also has an interest and flair for animal nutrition, making sure that any veterinary needs are supported by wholesome appropriate food and exercise. She is also educated in animal behaviour, ensuring safe and appropriate exercise for your pet whilst in her care. You can relax happy and confident that your dogs are grinning from ear to ear.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sharon. From walking and feeding to more advanced personal care, I am happy knowing that whatever situation arises, she will care for them in a professional and loving way. If they have fur, feathers or scales, they will be looked after properly.
