Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s my lifestyle and my career path. While I am currently a Vet Tech student, I’m not your typical college-aged sitter. I bring a high level of maturity and a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up on a farm to spending 3 years working in a clinical veterinary setting. Because I study from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide consistent potty breaks, structured play, and the specialized attention pets need—especially those who might require a bit more 'pro' care like senior animals or those needing medication. My days are centered around the well-being of the animals in my care, ensuring they stay on their familiar feeding and exercise tracks while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe and loving environment. With a fenced backyard for playtime and my friendly Goldendoodle to keep them company, they'll feel right at home. My Goldendoodle also gets along well with cats, ensuring a harmonious atmosphere. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for their comfort and safety, while also giving breaks and free time throughout the day.

Reviews
Sherrie was so amazing and easy to work with. She was very flexible with my schedule and made me feel at ease dropping my puppy off! I highly recommend!
We are so thankful for Sherrie! We left our dog Koa with her for 3 weeks for vacation to the mainland. We actually had to extend a day because of a cancelled flight and Sherrie had no problems keeping him an extra day. She gave us updates and was able to handle our crazy boy. Very thankful we now have someone who can watch him on island if needed again!
Sherrie was an amazing sitter for my three Labradors! I was a little apprehensive at first since I had never used Rover before, but after my experience with Sherrie, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for my dogs. She sent us regular updates throughout their 10 day stay and even included pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She would tell me about how my dogs played with each other and with the other dogs, and she described their personalities and behaviors exactly as they are at home with me. You can only know those little details when you truly spend time with and pay attention to the dogs in your care. I could tell that my three Labradors were not just being watched, they were genuinely cared for and loved. I highly recommend Sherrie to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Sherrie took good care of our fur baby! She was very responsive, and prompt with her communication. Sherrie sent us daily photos and updates, which we appreciated. Recommend!
