About Sheryl S.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide! Every dog is different, and I believe sticking to their normal routine helps them feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. Just let me know what they need, and I’ll make sure to take care of them like you would!
Information Sheryl S. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet before caring for them — like their habits, favorite things, any health concerns, special instructions, and how they behave around other dogs or strangers. Knowing these details helps me give them the best care and make sure they feel relaxed and loved!
A typical day
I’m always happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any activities you prefer! Depending on what your pup enjoys, I can take them on neighborhood sniffing walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or even practice some fun new tricks. If you’d like, I can also take your dog on a hiking adventure in Tilden, or plan a fun off-leash trip to Point Isabel or Albany Bulb for some social time and fresh air!

Professional, Detail-oriented Care
Pet care experience
Hi! I live with a Miniature Australian Shepherd named Mac, who’s earned a few AKC titles through consistent training, play, and trust. Being with him every day has helped me better understand how dogs communicate, what they need to thrive, and how to support them with structure and care. I bring that same approach to every dog I meet. Walks and drop-in visits aren’t just bathroom breaks — I include enrichment games, reinforce manners, and adjust pace based on your dog’s needs. I’ve worked with high-energy puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral quirks. I’m calm, observant, and experienced with a range of temperaments. I also love capturing little moments on video or in photos so you can see how your dog’s doing. And if we spend more time together, your pup might even inspire a sketch or two 😊 If you’re someone who values clear communication, attention to detail, and gentle, consistent care — I’d love to work with you and your dog.

Reviews

Sheryl is always punctual, reliable and sweet with our Hugo. It’s nice to have someone we can trust when we need help caring for our buddy. Thank you Sheryl!

Sheryl is a wonderful dog sitter. Our husky loves her. Sheryl is very responsible and reliable with feeding and walking our husky when we’re out of town-including detailed reports and photos. She’s a great communicator which puts us at ease. And she goes the extra mile to make sure our husky gets a good walk, lots of pets, and feels loved. We highly recommend Sheryl.

Always so grateful to have Sheryl watch my cat when I’m away!

Sheryl is very nice and does a good job with my dog who has anxiety issues and doesn’t like to walk. It takes a patient person to walk her so we really appreciate it. Will be booking Sheryl again!
