History

Established in 1994.

Since the 70s, along with loving her own variety of animals, Owner Sharon (Shoo) has taken care of pets for family and friends, and later managed Alpacas as a business. This included working with livestock guardian dogs. She loved the experiences, the opportunity to meet so many different people and the animals she came in contact with. With this background, caring for animals was an obvious career path to consider. Following her heart’s desire, she developed her pet sitting business and appropriately named it Leave It To Shoo!

Meet the Business Owner

Sharon R.

Business Owner

A native to the Northwest, Sharon (Shoo) lived in Portland and in Clark County her entire life. After 23 years in business administration and management, she retired from the corporate world to own and manage an alpaca livestock farm. Sixteen years later she phased out of the livestock industry, tested the waters on several other career paths and then took her natural care for animals and developed pet sitting as a full time business. Throughout her life, animals were a huge part of everyday living.

Shoo’s background in animals is varied. She raised St. Bernards in the 70s, had several Rottweilers through the years along with domestic cats and Gouldian finches. She owned and operated a USDA licensed facility in the 80s, raising small wildcats, Servals and Caracals. During that time she was actively involved with WA State wildlife regulations. In the 90s, along with managing the care of 50+ alpacas, she worked with rescue livestock guardian dogs.
