Ratings and reviews
We’ve left our dog, Hoagie, with Sheri before and this time he started wagging like crazy and jumped up on her when he saw her. It’s clear he likes her and it’s great to have such a true professional to sit him when we’re out of town! I would highly recommend Sheri.
It was so nice to have a trusted sitter while we were away for 5 days. Our dog Hoagie was clearly happy and comfortable with Sheri. I’m not even sure he missed us! Sheri communicated us before and during his stay and was always very professional and friendly. She’s a true pro sitter. Highly recommended!
Friendly, professional woman and was flexible to work with.
We left our dog, Winston, with Cheri for a weekend away, and it was a wonderful experience. We were a little nervous leaving him for the first time since he’s still a puppy, but Cheri immediately put our minds at ease. Winston was very well cared for, and Cheri kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Winston with Cheri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.
Our dog was well cared for and happy during his stay. Communication was excellent, and we appreciated the updates. We would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
Cheri is just fantastic!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because animals have always been an important part of my life. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s taking a dog for a walk, making sure they’re fed and comfortable, or just giving them extra attention and playtime. I’m flexible with my schedule and make it a priority to stay organized so I can reliably show up for the pets and families who count on me. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or a client’s. I make sure they’re fed, played with, and cared for just like they would be by their owner. I keep things clean, safe, and comfortable, and always give them plenty of attention and affection. I also like to send updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and engaged, so depending on their personality and energy level, I’ll take them for walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive games. For pets that enjoy relaxing, I’ll give them plenty of cuddle time, brushing, or gentle play. I also like using treat puzzles or toys to keep them mentally stimulated. My goal is to make sure each pet feels loved, entertained, and comfortable while their family is away.
