Pet Boarding Sherrills Ford

“Mandy was great! She watched our lab on very short notice and accommodated a unique travel situation. She sent texts and in pics while he was with her. And when we picked him up, he was happy and tired! Great experience!”

About: I grew up with a cat and now, my parents have 2 cats that I absolutely adore. I am no stranger to the wide range of personalities and moods. Our first cat, Beniu, was very particular. He never liked being touched and sometimes, was a little vengeful. My parents' current cats, on the other hand, couldn't be more different. One is anxious and timid, and the other one is cuddly and outgoing. Having lived with such different personalities, I understand that cats (and dogs!) have their own preferences and boundaries. I'll adapt to your cat's individual needs, respect their personality, and let them set the pace. I'll also be sure to give your dog the structure it needs, while accommodating its specific preferences. I've house-sat for family friends with cats, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own homes, in their usual routines. I've also been on the other end - when others have cat-sat for my family. I understand the anxiety of leaving our pets in safe hands. Due to life circumstances, I don't have pets of my own. Rover is a way for me to keep animals in my life, and enjoy their companionship. I'd love to meet your pet, and given them the care, patience and attention they deserve! My services include: drop-in visits, dog walks, boarding, and over-night house sitting. I try to keep my calendar updated so you can make the most important decision for you and your pets! I personally know how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I try my best to keep their usual feeding times, walks, playtime and other needs. Spending time with your animal will make my day a lot more special. I have a job with some flexibility in how I organize my time. I'd love to work with you to find a schedule that works for you and your pet! First and foremost, I make sure I understand your instructions and do exactly what you instruct me to do. I will ask a lot of questions, but please know it's all to make sure I keep your pet in good hands! For visits and overnight stays, I closely follow you instructions and maintain your pet's routines. I'm also happy to send photos and updates while you're away. I know those messages mean the most when you're away from pets (as it means a lot to me and my family). For dog walks, I follow your instructions, keep your dog safely on their leash, and am attentive to surroundings, including other dogs. For boarding, I'd make sure I understand your pet's personality, your instructions, and specific needs to make sure your pet as comfortable as possible.

“Henry had a good stay at Norma’s and although he really does not like to be away from us he seemed to be fine when we picked him up and also later when we got him home; he fell back into his routine very quickly. Norma is very knowledgeable about dogs and made several suggestions during our meet and greet that made the transitions and stay that much easier. We will use Norma again when we need daycare or short term boarding.”

“Ruth boarded my dog Jack for five days , she sent pictures every day which helped a lot. Jack fell in love as soon as he met her because he loves all the scratches and rubs. Enzo, Ruth's dog is a big loveable baby and Jack and Enzo got a long well. When I picked Jack up he was his happy healthy self.. No complaints from me and I just re-booked.”

“Eric was a great dog sitter for Jack! He had excellent communication throughout the entire stay and sent pictures every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing Jack was doing well. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Jack was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!”

“Peta was great with Buddy during his overnight stay; she kept us posted on how he was doing during the day and even sent us pictures. And Buddy had a great time playing with all of his new doggie friends!”

Dichelle C.

“Tyra did an excellent job taking care of my extremely spoiled Frenchie! She treated my dog as if she were her own and made sure she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her stay. Tyra provided plenty of updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to know exactly how my dog was doing while I was away. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and communication. I would definitely trust Tyra with my Frenchie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“Frances did a wonderful job taking care of Cozzy! She was dependable, caring, and made sure he was well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciated knowing Cozzy was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Frances and would happily book with her again! 🐾❤️”

Satirah G.

“Yasmeen took such good care of our pup, Elly! Elly is a very high-energy Boston Terrier who gets anxious if she is home alone for too long, so we are so thankful we could find Yasmeen who worked from home and could be there for Elly!”

Jennifer M.

“Erika was amazing! ❤️ She took such great care of my fur baby Tibby and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and even went out of her way to celebrate Tibby’s birthday. I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust!”

Nicole W.

“Marion was awesome! Traveler was on vacation at her house just like us! We were very comfortable with her and her huge fenced yard. Lots of pictures and updates. We will use her again!!”

“Kahlynn was an amazing host for my 14 week old puppy. She had several dogs for him to play with that seemed to keep him busy and sleeping well at night. She sent lots of fun photos and videos and he seemed to have a blast. I’d definitely recommend her and will be a repeat customer.”

Michelle B.

“Alli and Jacob are wonderful sitters! My dogs have stayed with them several times now, and they treat them like their own. I always get great updates and photos, and my dogs are excited every time they go back. I’m so grateful to have found them!”

“This was Elite and I’s first time using Rover. We booked a last minute reservation, and our accommodations were met despite the late request. Elite is a very energetic frenchie and needs lots of attention and does not like being alone most times. Ms. Vervica was polite and straight to the point. She answered all of our questions especially since we were new to the platform. Elite was in Ms. Vervica and her daughter Jayda’s care and I could tell he was adored and cuddled nicely. I received short clips daily. She even offered I call on my birthday to speak with my baby. That was very sweet. I may be a helicopter momma because I also wish my videos were a tad bit longer than a few of seconds. Overall I’d give this experience 5/5 stars. Additional feedback for the Rover Team: As a new Rover user, I would recommend allowing animal owners the curtesy in allowing us to see the arranged area our babies will reside while we are away. Obviously not to make the petsitter uncomfortable but to place first timers like myself at ease. In my opinion that would also encourage repeat bookings.”

Brianna H.

“My dogs loved Natalie and her family so much. Probably more than mine lol They came home more than happy and I would definitely book her again!”

Kalika M.

“My girls are always loved and cared for with Jeanette. I never have to worry about them and I always receive tons of photos and videos. She’s the best!”

Rebecca G.

“Thank you for your response so quickly and sending constant photos and updates with this being my dog first time apart from me, you did a good job with my fur baby.”

Velvet B.

“Lennox always loves going to Rachel’s. This was Lennox’s second time being watched by her. I love that Rachael sends pictures and check in texts about how my dog is doing. She has also been very flexible working with our crazy schedules. Thank you Rachel!”

Melanie M.

“Elias was great! He took such good care of our girl. His home and backyard are a great set up for dogs. Good neighborhood for walks. We can recommend him highly and would use him again.”
