Information Shernaaz R. would like to know about your pet

I love taking pets on walks, playing, or using puzzle toys for mental stimulation. Before sitting, I’d like to know their routines, favorite games, energy levels, any allergies, medications, and how they respond to new people or other animals. To help ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs, please let me know if your pup is reactive to other dogs.

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. Depending on your pup, we’ll enjoy: On-leash walks to our nearby park Gentle playtime at home (fetch, tug, or interactive games) Puzzle toys and sniff mats for mental enrichment Chill cuddle time on the couch or floor Basic training games (sit, stay, treat work) if you’d like My goal is to keep your dog happy, mentally engaged, and comfortable, never overwhelmed.

Tail-Wagging Happiness Guaranteed

Pet care experience

You can get $20 off your first booking when you book through my profile. Here is the link https://www.rover.com/sit/shernr94022. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years, and this is truly something I love doing, not just a service I offer. I know how deeply your fur baby is part of your family, and I care for each one with the same warmth, patience, and attention I would give my own. Over the years, I’ve fed, walked, bathed, comforted, and spent many happy hours with fur babies of all personalities and needs. I’ve fostered with Riverview Rescues, helping nervous, reactive or anxious rescue dogs feel safe, gain confidence, and get ready for their forever homes. My goal is always to keep your fur baby calm, joyful, and stress free in a safe, loving, and attentive home environment while you’re away. Homemade Meal Preparation (Add-On): I’m happy to support pups who eat home cooked meals by offering a gentle and attentive meal preparation and feeding service. I follow your written instructions exactly, including your recipe, portions, and feeding schedule. This is strictly a meal preparation and feeding service; I do not create or modify diets. Add-on fee: $10 per day for fresh homemade meal preparation.

Shernaaz took wonderful care of our dog, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. From the updates and photos, it was clear he was happy and well looked after in a comfortable home environment. We truly appreciated the care and attention she gave him. And she’s very accommodating to sudden change in our plans . We’ll definitely be coming back to her again.

Remy came home relaxed and pampered - what an amazing holiday he had with Shernaaz and her husband. They communicated everyday and sent wonderful picture. Pick up and drop off was smooth and effortless - and this close to the trip - that was very much appreciated! Ultimately, Remy was treated like a king - huge kudos to Shernaaz! (and many, many thanks!)

Shernaaz made my trip away worry free. She took incredible care of Ruby, and provided so many great updates and photos. I think Ruby had more fun than ever at her sleep away. I would recommend her to everyone.
