Your Pet Is My Best Friend
Pet care experience
*I'm currently accepting walks for evenings (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays). I've always cared for cats and dogs, but for the past 8 yrs, I've focused on caring for my own senior and special needs cats and dogs who were/ are blind, had mobility issues, needed special medications and treatments, and animals that suffer anxiety and need extra love and attention. Making sure your pet has time to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, is given love and attention, and adhering to any special requests is my priority as your pet walker (and definitely lots of belly rubs or booty scratches!). Because I've taken care of special needs animals, I can provide a dog stroller or dog sling in the event they suffer from arthritis, other mobility issues, or maybe love to be carried during a walk. I make sure to take extra care while walking pets. Having walked blind, disabled, and high anxiety dogs, I take extra care to monitor the surrounding areas for potential dangers such as traffic, harmful debris, loose dogs, and even pavement/ land conditions that might hurt their paws (hot sidewalks are no joke).
Reviews
Sherri takes fantastic care of Monroe in all his walks. Avoids things that will scare him and consistently works with him on his manners which helps with his training at home
Sherri is amazing!
Sherri was kind, timely, and communicative! I booked on short notice and she let me know her availability and she made it happen.
Sherri was excellent with our dog and his quirks - she gets that each dog has their own unique needs and behaviors even on a simple walk. Thank you Sherri!

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety is my first priority. Aside from keeping a close eye out for potential issues (loose dogs, loose children, loud trucks, traffic), I also keep an eye out and will let you know if I see anything that could potentially be an issue (a sudden limp, stool quality, reactions to certain stimulus). I also make sure to avoid or reduce exposure to already known trigger points (other dogs or overly trafficked areas).
Information Sherri S. would like to know about your pet
I'd love the heads-up if your dog has any special needs or requirements, or even just any leash issues to prepare for (not every dog loves the leash and that's okay!). If your dog like to break out in a run for a bit, I don't mind. Just let me know so I make sure to wear my runners.
A typical day
I'll give your dog every opportunity to explore the many sights and smells the community has to offer (or new communities if your dog doesn't mind a change of venue).
