Pet care experience

Welcome to Sherry’s Pet Care Services – 50 Years of Caring for Pets. Because your furry family member deserves nothing less than the best! As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent myself, I understand that leaving your beloved companion is never easy. That's why I've created a warm, safe, and fun environment where your pet will receive the same love, attention, and care they get at home. What Makes My Service Special: Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my approach to match your pet's specific needs, personality, and routine. Whether they're a playful puppy who needs constant entertainment or a senior dog who prefers gentle walks and cozy naps, I adapt to what makes them happiest. Daily Adventures: From morning walks to afternoon play sessions and evening cuddles, your pet's day will be filled with activities. I'm located near beautiful parks and walking trails, perfect for dogs who love outdoor exploration. Peace of Mind: I provide regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, so you can see exactly how much fun they're having. You'll never wonder how your furry friend is doing! For everyone’s safety, I only book 1 family at a time. If you have two dogs, that’s okay. Flexible Scheduling: I understand that travel plans can change. I offer flexible pickup and drop-off times, and I'm always available to discuss your pet's needs before their stay. Your Pet Will Experience: • Multiple daily walks and outdoor playtime • Individualized attention and cuddle sessions • Consistent feeding schedules with their familiar food • Medication administration if needed • Overnight companionship (no pet sleeps alone!) • Emergency veterinary care coordination if needed About Me: I've been caring for animals for 50 years. and I don’t have a pet now, so I can give all my attention to yours. I’ve volunteered for Save-A-Pet, the Anti-Cruelty Society and am a supporter of the ASPCA (American Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals). I'm committed to treating every guest like they're part of my own family. I'm available for meet-and-greets before any booking because I believe it's essential for your pet to feel comfortable with me before their stay. Your pet's happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Ready to give your furry family member a vacation they'll love? Let's set up a meet-and-greet to discuss your pet's specific needs and see if we're the perfect match! All meet and greets will be held at Cynthia T. Peterson Park, 200 W Hawthorn Pkwy, Vernon Hills, IL 60061, because this is the park I will be walking your precious pooch.

Sherry took great care of our pup - she kept him active, had toys ready for him, was detail oriented when it came to his care, and sent updates with photos. It was clear he was well loved while in her home! She was easy to work with, flexible, and quick to respond/communicate.

We boarded our 4 year old dog, Milo with Sherry for one night. Sherry was amazing throughout Milo's stay and provided us with regular updates and photos of Milo. Sherry took the time to do a meet and greet with us before Milo's visit which we really liked. When we brought Milo back home the next day, he was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for. Sherry is responsible, trustworthy, and truly loves dogs. I’ll definitely be booking with Sherry again and highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!

Sherry has provided Freddie with care several times on short notice. She's very attentive to his personality and behavior and gives me regular updates during the day! Clearly a dog lover and great with my big dog who can get excited. Highly recommend.
