all the details
Hello from our family
Curls & Paws was created from a genuine desire to offer more personal and thoughtful care for dogs and cats.
We’re a family of three running this business with love, purpose, and honesty. I'’m Sharon, the owner and sitter of Curls & Paws, and this is my husband, EJ. Together we adopted Anakin in March 2021 and it's been the best 4.5 years having him in our lives!
I am your primary and sole sitter and dog walker, but together my husband and I manage all aspects of Curls & Paws - from hands on pet care to scheduling, client communication, and daily business operations. We have built lasting relationships with both pets and their families. Pet parents trust us with their fur babies and have always encouraged me to create a name that reflected the level of care, honesty, and professionalism they experienced. That continued trust is what shaped Curls & Paws into a business rooted in personal connection and reliability.
We both have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. We pride ourselves on being reliable, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to both clients and their pets.

"Simply the BEST!"
Kim l.
I’ve used “5 star” sitters from Nassau County to Manhattan and literally NONE takes care of my dogs like this! You get regular updates daily with videos and pics. My two boys exercise and play outside multiple times per day and have free runs while inside. I never have to worry about them! In your home or theirs, instructions are followed. Once, one of my dogs was on medication but there were zero issues having instructions followed. I’ve used Curls and Paws over 6 times this past year, from two days to over two weeks, and EVERY time, I come back to healthy, happy, super-content dogs! I never worry while I’m gone. ❤️ The fees are excellent too. As a dog mom who is very particular about her boys, I highly recommend! 6 stars for sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
"I'm a regular client of Sharon’s and cannot recommend her enough. "
Vivian and Jay
During her most recent house-sitting stay, my dog, Button, developed an upset stomach. Sharon immediately reached out to let me know what was going on, explained the steps she took to help, and kept me updated throughout.
Anyone with a fur baby knows the anxiety that comes with having an unwell pet, but Sharon’s care and communication gave me complete peace of mind.
She even went above and beyond—taking Button out more frequently than requested so she could relieve herself comfortably, all during heavy rain and flooding in New Jersey!
It’s clear Sharon truly cares for my pets as if they were her own. I trust her more than anyone, and if you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter, I can confidently say your fur babies will be in the best hands with Sharon.
"Sharon is a Godsend!"
elias and emily
She took such wonderful care of Dino & Bella during our wedding days, and it truly took a huge load of stress off our backs knowing our fur babies were in the best hands. We received countless updates and she stuck with their routine to the T, which gave us so much peace of mind.
Our Yorkie, Bella, is usually very anxious, but Sharon gently eased her way into trust. And our American Bully, Dino, who normally doesn’t let anyone touch him, was so fond of Sharon, her husband, and of course the host of honor Anakin 🤍 It meant the world to us seeing them so comfortable, happy, and loved.
We couldn’t have asked for better care — Curls & Paws is truly a second home for our pups. Highly, highly recommend!
"I highly recommend Sharon!"

We met Sharon through a petsitting app, and we're so glad to have had her watch our beloved Simba. As someone who boarded our dog for the first time, it was incredibly nerve-wracking. We have always done things a certain way with our pup with regard to feedings, walks, training, etc, as I'm sure many people who are reading this review can relate to. Because of this, we wanted someone who would understand and respect our care requests as much as possible. Boy, were we blown away by the care and attention Simba received from Sharon.
She not only followed our wishes and instructions, she followed up with questions of her own to be sure she was understanding what we requested accurately. When someone does this, you can tell this person is interested in our wishes. She fed our baby exactly how we wanted him to be fed, and always asked before she proceeded with something new we hadn't mentioned. She provided updates very often with not only texts but with images as well. Simply put, she cared for our baby as she would her own. When we arrived, we could tell he had a great time with Sharon.
I highly recommend Sharon and am even willing to provide a reference with regard to my experience with her. She will care for your pup with the best of intentions and s/he will be safe with her.
" I am so happy and content with the level of service, care, and love that she gave Neo and look forward to his next stay!"

If you’re a dog mommy who loves their fur baby as much as I do and only wants the BEST OF THE BEST for them, Curls & Paws is for you! Sharon provided a home away from home for our 9 month old pup, Neo, while we were out of the state. His stay was filled with lots of love, lots of play and lots of walks. He made a furever friend named Anakin and seeing there pictures and video updates daily filled me with so much joy. I am so happy and content with the level of service, care, and love that she gave Neo and look forward to his next stay!
"Sharon was absolutely amazing!"

"When we leave Theodore with Sharon, we know he is being looked after as if he were her own dog.."
alberto and vanessa
Sharon has cared for Theodore on our last two vacations. Both times she’s sent countless photos and recaps of their days and adventures. I loved that before our pup stayed with her, she came by to do a quick intro with her own pup and to asses how they’d play together.
When we leave Theodore with Sharon, we know he is being looked after as if he were her own dog. They even took him to see the tree being lit for Christmas! (Photo below)
"Thank you
Curls & Paws!"
brittany and felix
Sharon is absolutely amazing! She and her husband watched our pup Luna for 4 days and honestly, we think Luna had a better vacation than we did. We got daily photo and video updates (which we LIVED for), and if anything came up like a picky eating moment, Sharon let us know right away.
She made sure Luna got plenty of love, exercise, and playtime, and it was so clear she treated her like one of her own. It’s not easy leaving your pup behind, but Sharon made it completely stress-free.
My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again. If you’re thinking about it…DO IT! Your fur baby will thank you with extra tail wags & purrs because they will be left in the best hands! 🐾❤️
Thank You Curls & Paws!!
"Sharon would always keep us updated!"

Sharon and her husband are simply amazing. Our dog (Jimmy) could not be happier and better taken care when we go away. It’s his dream vacation when he’s with them and he doesn’t he notice wet gone.
They’re the best!
Rooted in Love
At the heart of everything I do are my two furbabies, Linda and Anakin. Linda is our family mutt who has been in our lives for almost 17 years now. Caring for her taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of showing up with love and tenderness. We adopted Anakin from Rescue City in Brooklyn. Anakin is our own personal assistant and we are so grateful to know he’s made many furiends along the way.
As dog parents, we understand how difficult it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pets with. The worry, the questions, and the need to know your pet will be treated with love and respect are very real. Because we trust ourselves with our own dog, we wanted to create an option that offers other pet parents that same sense of confidence and peace of mind.
