Pet Boarding Sherrill

About: i’m going into my second year of college pursuing a degree in science and mathematics. my goal is to have a career in wildlife rehabilitation or veterinary care. i also have experience within EMS & firefighting as i’ve been a volunteer since 16. i’ve always loved animals of any kind and have been in aw by my own pets. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but currently live with only my senior cat (i brought her along with me for college). shes very specific but i make sure to keep up on her needs and do whatever i can for my baby. i live in a smaller sized apartment so I don’t currently have my dogs living with me, but since being away i miss being around them. soon i will be an intern at a zoo for animal care so i’m really looking forward to this opportunity! i love looking after family and friends pets, everytime I just feel as joyous as can be. I would love to start taking care of more pets within my community and gain more experience! __________________________________________ little side note: i allow my pets on my bed and couch with me all the time, just for some reason I wasn’t sure how to edit that off my profile lol so just know your pet is more than welcome 👌 i’m currently on summer break working a part time job, but have a flexible schedule. i like to go outside to parks, find good places to hike, and staying active. with bookings i will make sure to keep myself available or work with your schedule, whether that be for mornings, evenings, or even overnight. i’m also available the weekends. once school begins i will still be able to remain flexible. my senior cat sofia is specific with her needs, whether that’s the food she eats, the places she sleeps, or the litter i get. whatever her needs may be, whether she likes her hard food or gets sick of and only wants wet food, i make sure to listen. when she’s having a stomach ache or under the weather, i’m alerted and get her the best care i can provide. when it comes to family or friends animals like their dogs i like to spend a lot of time with them outside, taking them to parks, and even to hike depending on the kind of dog and their energy level. for clients i’ll ensure to keep them updated on their pets and if their were special instructions on how they want their pet to be treated i will do my best to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

“11/10. My dog had such a great time with Jose, it’s like she’s the one who had a vacation! Jose is extremely good about communicating and sending pictures, and it was a really nice experience to receive updates throughout my dog’s stay without needing to prompt for them. My dog had ample space to get her energy out, and with an additional bonus of having an active sitter to do activities with, there was never a doubt that she was receiving anything less than the care I’d provide her at home. I recommend Jose to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, a comfortable stay for their pet(s), and peace of mind—my dog is certainly looking forward to another stay!”

About: I grew up with pets. We had: cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I then worked at a doggy daycare. My knowledge and experience is top knotch. I am available to walk, check in or pet sit for you. Most days in the week are good. Contact me for more details. I look forward to talking with you. I am open to your method and a fast learner. Whatever your pet may need I am here for it. I have experience training, administering medicine, feeding, walking, crating, etc. Really the sky is the limit.

“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”

“Maytte and her mother were such a great fit for my Dupong. My dog was treated like family and I received frequent updates. I will definitely work with Mayette again 😊”

“Sarah and her daughter were awesome with Manny. Wish Manny and I could see them more often!”

“Donna clearly loved on, interacted with, and cared extremely well for our dog. The videos were especially great as we could see our girl was not stressed at all and in fact was having the time of her life! I deemed this week her “Summer Camp” and wondered if she’d actually want to leave when we picked her up ;). Donna communicated frequently with pics and videos daily, which brought us joy and comfort; even continuing the day we were scheduled to pick her up. She went above and beyond and even sent her home with a new toy that she favored over her own ‘binky’ we sent with her. Actually looking forward to the next time Lexi gets to stay with her.”

“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”

“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”

“Christalle and Brek were such great and loving dog sitters! They set up a meet and greet so Jasper could get acclimated to their space before dropping him off, which I think helped him feel more at home. They sent us lots of pictures, and I know they treated him like family. Thanks so much!”

“Thomas had our 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd Tobie for a weekend and was absolutely amazing with him! He communicated with us, sent pictures & updates daily. Tobie now has a home away from home when we travel. We will be definitely using him again. Thank you Thomas for loving our fur baby as much as we do!”

“This is the second time Erix has watched our dog Henry and we will continue to work with him in the future. Our dog seems to be happy in his care. Our dog happened to have stitches and Erix had to deal with some special protocols and a cone and he always is happy to accommodate.”

Adriana B.

“Irina and her family were absolutely wonderful! Having our dog in a home setting was very important to us and they made her right at home. Irina sent pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay and responded to texts quickly. I'm pretty sure our pup came home more spoiled than when we dropped her off 😃 We will most definitely rebook for our next vacation.”

“Geoffery was the best sitter we have ever experienced. We were scared our boy wouldn’t want to come home from all the tender love and care, walks and attention he received daily! He watched our high energy, escape artist husky and not once did we have to worry. So grateful and definitely rebooking.”

“Kara was wonderful and outgoing and did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs for labor day weekend. Especially my older guy (12) who was unexpectedly diagnosed with congestive heart failure about a week before our stay. I was worried she wouldnt want to care for them after that news, but she took it all in stride. Getting him to take his heart meds was difficult to say the least...It appears Kara found a trick he fell for and didn't have trouble getting him to take them, which I still haven't mastered...this took a huge worry and axiety off my chest & mind and allowed me to enjoy the weekend with my oldest friends. The dogs seemed to really enjoy romping around her fenced in yard so t hat waz an added bonus. Thanks Kara for taking good care of my boys!”

About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.

“Carrie and her husband took excellent care of my almost 16 year old pug. I haven’t left her with anyone else in a very long time so was a little nervous, for both her and the sitter. She kept me updated with texts and pictures and was told she was just fine. I’m hoping she can go there again when I need overnight stays.”

“Tia and her daughter were so kind. Our two pups loved spending time with them! We are so thankful they were able to watch them on a shorter notice! We hope to see them again soon! 😊”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with Amber. She was communicative and sent pictures. Jackson seemed very comfortable at her home and I felt good knowing he was being taken care of.”
