About us

Hi, we're Sherry and John

[Short intro: who you are, how long you've lived in Leiden, your own pets.] Sherry spent her career as a nurse, so the things that make other sitters nervous — a cat who needs twice-daily insulin, a dog recovering from surgery, a senior who's a little wobbly on the stairs — are exactly what we're comfortable with.

  • Comfortable with elderly and medically fragile pets
  • Medications, injections, dressing changes and special diets
  • American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid / CPR certified
  • Daily photo and update after every visit
