Dog Sitting Sherrills Ford

About: I grew up in a house where there were always more paws than feet. From the time I was born through my years in high school, I was the designated caregiver for our family pets and the "go-to" sitter for neighbors and friends. Having owned and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they’re family members with their own unique personalities and routines. What Sets Me Apart I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working remotely, which means I offer a level of reliability and structure that is hard to find. I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs a long walk or a vigorous play session, I’m your guy. My Care Style Reliable Communication: I’m tech-savvy and organized; you’ll get regular updates, photos, and quick responses. Multi-Pet Expertise: I’m comfortable managing households with multiple animals (including cats!). Active & Attentive: Whether it’s a focused walk or just some quality couch time for a senior pet, I adapt to what your pet needs most. I’m currently between projects and have plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! If you want to see more of how I take care of my own personal dogs, they have their own Instagram called Pinero_Pups, take a look! I am a tech professional currently in a career transition, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am home for the majority of the day. Unlike a standard 9-to-5 sitter, I am available to provide constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions. Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, your pet will be my primary focus, and I can easily adapt to their specific feeding and exercise routines. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, safety is my top priority. My home environment is pet-friendly and well-organized, and I am experienced in managing multi-pet households (including both dogs and cats). I am a firm believer in clear communication; you’ll receive consistent photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. In my care, your pet will have: A Secure Environment: I am diligent about door safety and leash security during walks. Active Supervision: I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so I have the energy to keep up with high-energy breeds. Personalized Attention: I respect each pet's boundaries—whether they need a vigorous game of fetch or a quiet corner to nap in.

About: My family jokes that I was raised by animals. 🤣 I have had pets since I was born, and considered them my best friends. I have had jobs in dog grooming, some experience in training, volunteered at my local SPCA, currently an active volunteer for Angels To The Animals & even became a full time artist selling commissioned pet portraits! Everything about furry animals & waggy tails brings me immense joy and happiness. Animals calm my soul. Today, I have 3 of the most spoiled doggo’s out there. I narrate their thoughts, talk to them like they’re babies, and they are even insta-famous! They have their own bedroom, closet, dresser, mountains of toys, and an abundance of clothes/accessories. I truly do work hard so my dogs can have a better life. I have experience in housecleaning so I regularly entered people’s homes. Rest assured, I’ll leave your house the way I found it (maybe better if I see an animal mess that needs tending to). I’ll treat your home like my own. I have responsibilities Tuesday- Friday from noon- 1:00 however I’m available before or after. Ideally, I am looking for regular clients that consistently need someone to hang out with their fur babies. I would meet you and your fur baby, and get a lay of the land. If you need me to feed them, water them, give treats, I would just need to know where to access them. For cats, if you need me to clean the litter box, I would just need to know where the bags, & scooper are. Also where you’d like the waste disposed.

“Taren is the best. She has been walking my babies off and on for a year now. She is always so thorough with her notes, and my boys love her. Thank you for all you do, Taren!”

“Nicole was great! Came to meet the dog the day before leaving so she was well aware of what was needed and to ensure she met Kallie! I got some great pictures and updates while she visited which was greatly appreciated”

“Whether it’s last-minute or planned way in advance, Nancy always delivers. She loves my dog Leo and it shows in how she talks about him and cares for him. In photos and videos she sends me, Leo looks like he’s having more fun with her than he does with me! 😉 And Nancy gladly brings in mail and packages and leaves them in a secure place. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.

About: As a dog trainer, daycare provider, and dog mom myself, I know every dog is different and deserves care tailored to their individual personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether your dog loves to play all day, prefers a calm environment, needs extra structure, or simply wants a cozy place to relax, my goal is always to create a safe, enriching, and low-stress experience. I focus heavily on: • structured play & socialization • engagement & enrichment • clear communication • safe dog handling • individualized care Your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. They deserve to feel understood, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away 🫶 Dog care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and daycare provider, my daily routine revolves around the dogs in my care. Each day includes supervised play, enrichment activities, potty breaks, structured rest periods, feeding routines, and individual attention based on each dog's needs. Because I work from home with dogs, guests are rarely left alone and are actively monitored throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys adventure, social time, training games, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I strive to provide a safe and enriching experience from drop-off to pick-up. Safety is my top priority. I am a professional dog trainer with experience managing dogs of different ages, temperaments, and play styles. All dogs are carefully introduced, supervised, and matched appropriately. I use crates, gates, leashes, and rotations when needed to create a safe and low-stress environment for everyone. My home includes dedicated dog spaces for play, enrichment, rest, and safe separation when appropriate. Dogs are never expected to "work it out" on their own and are actively supervised during interactions. Cleanliness is also a major priority. Dog areas are routinely cleaned and disinfected using pet-safe products, and I maintain strict sanitation practices between guests. I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all experience.

About: I have always LOVED animals from a very young age and knew it was my passion in life. I have always been dog sitting sense the age of 13 years old. I dog sit for my grandparents, my best friends grandparents, family friends, and also my friends animals. I did work for a dog kennel for a very short amount of time due to other job opportunities, but i loved the dogs there as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you little ones and fall in love with them!! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to help take care of your fur babies while you are at work or away. I have a 15 foot lead that I hook my dog up to for when he wants outside. It gives plenty of room for him to explore while also staying in our yard. I am getting a kennel very soon, so your fur baby will feel safe and sound. I have 1 dog that can keep your dog company and help them be more comfortable!!
