About Us
Our Mission
Fetch and Cuddle Co. exists so pets can thrive in their own environment, and pet parents can fully enjoy or focus on the reason they’re away, knowing everything at home is completely covered.
Our goal is to give clients peace of mind, relief, and confidence — the kind that lets you relax on vacation, be present with family, or focus on work or difficult obligations without worrying about your pets or your home. We believe the best care happens when pets stay where they feel safest, most comfortable, and most themselves, with a caregiver who treats them as their own.
This mission is always about both sides: the emotional well-being of your pets and the peace of mind of the people who love them.
Our Care Philosophy
We believe pets need more than basic care. They need companionship, mental stimulation, emotional safety, and consistency — alongside physical exercise.
We take a calm, grounding, and routine-based approach to pet care. Animals feel safest when they know what to expect, so we prioritize consistency, predictable rituals, and gentle repetition. We closely observe body language and behavior, making subtle adjustments to ensure each pet feels secure and understood.
We use positive reinforcement only and never force interaction. Trust is built on the animal’s terms, in their own time.
How This Looks in Practice:
We let pets approach us when they’re ready.
We use non-threatening body language, soft tone, and calm energy.
We give anxious or shy animals space without pressure.
We respect individual likes, dislikes, and boundaries.
We adapt care based on behavior, mood, and comfort level.
This approach applies equally to dogs, cats, and other pets.
Trust, Integrity & Professionalism
Trust is the foundation of in-home and overnight pet care.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and responsibility — values shaped by principles in our own lives and household.
What You Can Expect:
Daily updates with photos (and occasional videos).
Check-ins at agreed-upon times.
Proactive communication — you’ll never have to wonder how things are going.
Immediate notification of any concerns, along with thoughtful solutions.
Your pets, your home, and your property are always treated with care and respect. Our focus is always on exceptional pet care and responsible home presence.
My Background
Hi, I’m Sherry, the founder of Fetch and Cuddle Co. I’ve loved animals my entire life. Even as a child, I was the one walking neighbors’ dogs. As an adult, I’m still the person who has to greet the pets at any gathering.
I’ve owned, fostered, and looked after dogs and other pets for about 14 years and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends and clients repeatedly ask me to care for their pets — often for extended periods — because they trust me completely with both their animals and their homes.
Fetch and Cuddle Co. grew naturally from those requests. What started as something I did because I love it became a service people rely on.
Prepared, Responsible Care
I have completed a Pet First Aid certification so I can respond calmly and appropriately if something unexpected happens.
This includes:
Monitoring for signs of illness or distress.
Keeping vet information readily available.
Knowing which emergency clinics are accessible.
Acting quickly and responsibly if needed.
Preparedness is part of providing professional, reliable care.
Is Fetch and Cuddle Co. Right for You?
Fetch and Cuddle Co. may be a great fit if you:
Want your pets to stay in their own home and routine.
Value calm, compassionate, positive-reinforcement care.
Believe pets need companionship, mental stimulation, and emotional safety.
Appreciate clear, proactive communication and daily updates.
Want peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are being cared for responsibly.
It may be less suitable if you:
Are primarily looking for very quick or minimal drop-in care.
Prefer training or handling methods that rely on fear or physical punishment.
Have pets whose needs would be better supported by a different type of care environment.
Our goal is always to provide the highest standard of care — for pets, homes, and the people who love them. Finding the right fit ensures a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
We are always happy to discuss whether we're a good fit.
