Safety, trust & environment

When I stay with your pets, I make sure yard is secure so there won't be any escapes. If you don't have a yard, their collars and leashes will fit them properly to insure their safety while out and about. I also will ask what commands they are familiar with so they understand what I am asking of them. Their health and safety are my utmost concern.

Information Sherry A. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs meds, if they are anxious, if they are fearful, special diets, have specified routines, anti-social, timid. If your pet possess any of these traits, I suggest a meet and greet to relieve any anxiety you may have about leaving your pets in my care.

A typical day

When I stay with your pets we will have lots of love, pets, and cuddles. If they sleep in bed with you, they can sleep in the bet with me! We'll take walks and smell all the smells, play ball or frisbee. If your pets are allowed to have treats, I'll treat them. If they share the couch while watching tv, they can sit in my lap. We'll play whatever games they like to play.

Pet care experience

Greetings pet owners, I'm retired and have exceptional references. I have a lifetime of experience with all domestic pets. I am professional, mature, responsible, and I possess my own Pet Care Insurance. I love animals and they love me!! I cherish the time I spend with your furry family members giving them all the love and attention I would give my own pets. I feel that a loving a calm environment is crucial for your pets while you need to be away from home including keeping them in their familiar surroundings and routines to minimize stress. To me they are not "just pets", they are beautiful sentient beings and deserve to be treated as such. You will receive text updates while you are away ensuring that your beloved pets are enjoying their time as well. I've had all kinds of dogs, both large and small. I raised Schipperkes for 15 years, I love puppy breath! I was a 4H leader for 5 years and a Search and Rescue team member on the mounted unit (horse), and assisted the K-9 unit as well. I keep the poop scooped, and make sure your pets have clean dishes and fresh water multiple times a day. I have experience with puppies and seniors as well including special needs and administering medications. If your furry family members sleep with you, then they can sleep with me as well as cuddle up while watching a moving in the evening, or going on walks and playing ball. Whatever they enjoy doing, I enjoy participating with them. Thank you for checking out my profile and I very much look forward to caring for your furry family members while you're away from home. Wiggly tails, Sherry

We had a last minute request for a drop in visit. Sherry was super responsive and came over the same day to meet our 3 pups ahead of being away. Our dogs really seemed to enjoy her and she was fantastic caring for them for the afternoon.

Sherry housesit for us for 10 days and did a wonderful job! She watched our two senior dogs and followed all of our instructions perfectly! We really felt like she gave extra love and attention to our pups. The house was well-cared for and was in better shape than when we left! We will definitely be contacting Sherry again for housesitting in the future.

Sherry has been our pet sitter for many years. Our dogs and cat love her!! She is a responsible house sitter and she takes care of the plants, hot tub etc. When we arrive home the dogs are happy and relaxed and there’s no trace of her being there. Very clean. Most recently, she took care of our dogs at her house and they were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up that it was as if I’d retuned an hour later rather than 5 days later. Sherry is awesome and has all kinds of experience ranging from large ranch animals to small house pets.
