Topic: Enriched Sheaves

Is there a sensible notion of V-enriched sheaves? Looking on the nlab and Kelly (Basic Concepts of Enriched Category Theory) I only see things about enriched presheaves, which are fairly easy to define. I'm particularly interested in the simple case where V is thin

Certainly you can talk about sheaves of abelian groups, or simplicial sets, and so on. What do you mean by thin?

Before even thinking about enriched sheaves I would be happy to have a good general definition of sheaves of X for a general category X.... but it seems difficult.

Thin meaning the category is a preorder. Probably it is a frame/complete lattice. I'm looking for a good reference on V-valued sheaves oon a V-enriched category

In general it's tricky to say what you would mean by a "Grothendieck topology" on an enriched category. But one thing you can do is talk about V-categories that are left-exact reflective subcategories of presheaf V-categories. The resulting notion of "V-topos" was studied a bit in Garner-Lack Lex colimits, and probably other places.
