Dogs are my passion in life !!

Pet care experience

I know how important it is to find the right pet sitter for your family member. I have always considered my pets as part of our family and I understand the importance they play in peoples lives. I cannot imagine my life without dogs. They are my life! I firmly believe in treating your pet with the same love and respect that you would treat a person. I've been caring for dogs and cats my entire adult life. My husband and I have typically owned 5 to 8 dogs at once for the last 19 years. I've gained a lot of knowledge about how to cater to each pet's specific needs and their personalities. I have 23 years with hands on experience. I will work with your family and your pet to make them as comfortable as possible in your absence. I take directions well, so if your pet has any particular medical needs, activity routines, or bedtime rituals I can accommodate your request. I am experienced in administrating oral medication (liquids, pills, capsules) as well as subcutaneous injections. I have personally owned four dogs with Cancer. I am very experienced with taking my time to hand feed if needed. Fully understand the struggles with a pet struggling with Cancer. Personally owned a dog with Megaesophagus. I know all about feeding your dog in a Bailey Chair in a upright position for 15 mins to 1 hour. I have also owned three dogs with Cushing disease, diabetes, seizures, hearing loss, separation anxiety, CHF, and had a dog with a blood clot. Recently our two dogs both just had a Vestibular attack. I am extremely patient and enthusiastic with all kinds of pets and I promise you I will make sure your pet is happy and well cared for. I am a hard dedicated worker! One of our dogs were featured on the Nat Geo Wild Channel on a show called Animal ER. They filmed his third spine surgery. Unfortunately we lost him 9 days after his surgery. Dogs are absolutely my entire life. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for them. Your pet's well-being is my highest priority. I am confident in my ability to take care of your pet and I am here for all your needs, concerns, and questions. I want nothing more than for you to feel at ease with the care I am providing for your beloved pet, so that you may enjoy your time away from home without any stress or worries. I will personally update you three times a day plus send you pictures as well. You don’t even have to ask. Yes, they will be clear pictures. Your pet will get so much love and attention from me because I firmly believe in that. FIRMLY I also will pet sit rabbits as well. If they are litter box trained. Thank you for considering me. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet.

Sherry is beyond fantastic when it comes to taking care of your fur babies! My dogs were loved and very well taken care of with Sherry. While in her care, I did not have to worry one bit about my dogs. Sherry is passionate about all animals, and it definitely shows. She sent me updates throughout the day while I was on vacation (pictures and texts). I highly recommend Sherry to anyone!

We had never used Rover, and finding Sherry in our own neighborhood was the absolute best! Not only is she close by, but when we welcomed her to our home she was always so respectful. My little fluff child was the center of her world and the pictures she sent everyday were so amazing! He was loved and cared for by Sherry more than I could ever imagine. She is so amazing, I’ve left my house key with her for future stays!

Sherry was by far the most AMAZING dog sitter we have ever had! We have two huskies who our are children, I found Sherry as she recently moved into our neighborhood and I could not be more thankful that we did! Sherry went above and beyond for our boys and our home. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our dogs....they are currently mad at us for coming home lol... they LOVED her! Sherry kept us updated the entire weekend with updates and pictures. She is truly amazing and she LOVES dogs. We will be using her for every trip from now on. Our boys were completely spoiled with Sherry! Truly- I could go on and on about Sherry- she is the BEST! And we have used multiple Rover's before.... you will not regret using her! I feel like I need to plan another trip now so my boys can hang out with her again <3 Thank you for everything Sherry!

Sherry watched our pup while we went on vacation. I would recommend her services to anyone, because she went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of! Our dog, Moby, is not very trustworthy of many people, but he warmed up to her after she spent some time with him. She made sure all his needs were met, including administering a heart medication that he needs daily. Sherry is a loving person and I can tell her passsion in life is to take care of her fur babies!

Information Sherry H. would like to know about your pet

I highly recommend a meet and greet for you to get to know a little about me and for me to get to know your dog. I really like for your dog to get to know who I am so they will not be afraid of a stranger in their personal home. I will even do a short walk around the block with your dog during the meet and greet. Would like to come back to your home one more time right before you leave to go over things. I also have a information sheet for you to fill out as well.
