We chose not to use this provider. We felt that the price for half an hour with our dog was a little steep, although it seems to be the going price for dog walkers in the area.

She's always fantastic. She's very good with our animals and very reliable. Our second pet was very shy and she's very good with him - that's comforting. She also provides other services like getting the mail, checking the house, and so forth.

Sherri provides an excellent service. All of our pets looks so happy when we get home. She will brush them and play with them while she is here. Our house looks cleaner when we get home than when we left it. It is such a great piece of mind to know our pets are in such great hands.

It went great. This is a new animal to us and he is shy. She was very patient and kind with him and he started becoming familiar with her.

She was great with our previous animal who loved her greatly. I believe this guys will also. When we returned, he was happy and everything around here was in good condition. It is comforting to have Sherrie check on things when we are away.

I know that I can leave the country for 10 days with my animals in Sherrie's care because I have absolute trust in her.  She loves all animals, provides excellent care for them and has not ever let me down.  My animals both have health problems and require regular medication.  Again, I never have a doubt that they will be well cared for in Sherrie's care.  She can handle large and small animals - I have a 110lb high energy lab mix, and she manages him just fine.

Everything was fine when I got home. The birds were not stressed out in the least. She had taken the time to whistle and talk to them, and spritz them with water from time to time. She left pages of notes indicating what time she came in, what the weather was like, how the birds were, and the tasks she did. I had left a note expressing concern that ants might show up unexpectedly one day, since they usually do in the spring. I saw that she had gotten out the broom and was careful to sweep up any bird seed that the parrots may have flung out of the cages, even though I had not asked her to do that.
I have no idea if the cost is considered reasonable or not, since I have never had to hire anyone to bird-sit before. However, coming in every twelve hours for a week, day and night, weekends and on a holiday, was not something I would want to ask a neighbor or even a relative to do. I feel much better entrusting this job to a professional, and that is exactly what she is. The peace of mind is worth every penny.
