About Sherri H.

Sherri, a 6th generation Californian, grew up in Contra Costa County and now lives in Alameda. She has had cats and dogs all her life. Her first cat Barney, who grew up to be a 20lb cat, was found in a ditch near her house. Barney was followed by Freddie after the Flintstones. Today she lives with Felix, who is a socialized Trap Nurture Release Cat. He is a love bug and followers her around the house and sits on her keyboard when she types. She graduated from California College of the Arts, where her final project was a campaign to reduce euthanasia in cats called “Be a Hero for Cats”. She loves taking care of other people’s cats where the biggest reward is a purr of happiness. Sherri is also a Certified Professional Pet Sitter from Pet Sitters International! This certification is the only one specifically recognized in the pet-sitting industry for professional pet sitters. The exam covered various topics, including dogs, cats, health, sanitation and safety, disaster planning, and business operations.

What Clients Say About Sherri H.

“We discovered the Comforted Kitty in late 2020. Since then we’ve become loyal fans of their service and have come to trust them on multiple occasions with the latest one just last weekend. Sherri has pretty much been our ‘go-to’ sitter for our cat Kitty over the past year. She’s awesome and has developed quite a rapport with him. She’s a genuine cat lover, so she definitely takes care of him and gives him a lot of love when my partner and I are traveling. We never worry and we can count on the daily check-ins and updates from Sherri with pics of their time together. All that aside, the Comforted Kitty is super convenient with everything coordinated through the Time to Pet app, including communications, service requests, instructions…everything. I highly recommend Sherri and The Comforted Kitty!"

“Sherri from Comforted Kitty has been a fantastic pet sitter for our 8-yr old cat. She gets him playing, purring, and eating with every visit and we appreciate the through updates we get with pictures we receive daily. At the end of the trip, we always come home to a well-rested and happy kitty. Highly recommend her services and Comforted Kitty’s support!”

“I feel so lucky to have found The Comforted Kitty and my Kitty sitter Sherri. She has been so creative in her methods of stimulating and entertaining my kitty that I feel less guilty when I am away. Sherri sends me photos of my kitty so I can see how happy she is while she is playing and how comfortable she is with Sherri. She tells me how she is purring loudly and giving nose bumps so I can relax knowing that my cat is acting like herself and then I can enjoy my time away. Every Comforted Kitty Kitty sitter who has cared for my kitty over the past 2 years has been cat-savvy, loving and responsible. They have made my lifestyle possible.”

“We just had a wonderful vacation with Sherri from the Comforted Kitty taking care of our cats. She bonded with them right away, figured out what kept them entertained, and gave them lots of love. One of our kitties was stressed out the first few days, and Sherri gave us updates about the panic-vomits, and was just as relieved as we were when our kitty relaxed into the reality of us being away. Our kitties were happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned. Of course, they are really glad we are home, but we can tell they were comfortable and calm while we were gone – and Sherri’s daily photo updates show they definitely looked forward to her visits! We would definitely like Sherri to sit our kitties again.”

“We reached out to The Comforted Kitty based upon our regular cat sitter’s recommendation when she was unavailable. Sherri H. came and met us and our kitties, took detailed notes, and then came and took care of them over both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday breaks. Sherri went above and beyond both with caring for our cats, keeping the house very clean and tidy, communicating with us every day (pictures of the cats, details about each visit, etc.), and making sure that mail and packages were brought into the house. She even left a fun peacock feather toy as a gift for the kitties. During the first set of visits, Sherri noticed there were a few ants in the kitchen and made sure to sweep the area, place the cat food bowls in plates with moats of water, and to keep the sink wiped clean with dish soap. When we got home – no ants – hooray! Finally, after many of our vacations, we are used to returning home to a not so pleasant “vet’s office” smell – likely a combination of stressed cats and perhaps insufficient cleaning of messes. However, when we returned home after Sherri had been caring for our cats and home, we noticed that the house did not smell bad – hooray! We would highly recommend Sherri H. at The Comforted Kitty!”

“The Comforted Kitty has kept me comfortable on all of my travel over the last year! Sherri is a fantastic cat sitter – I can tell she cares about my cat (and all the other fur babies she cares for). I really really appreciate the ease of the portal, the text communication, and the photos. Also, my cat will ONLY eat out of Sherri’s hand – she’s never done that for anyone else! I always feel relaxed going out of town because I know my kitten will be well-cared for. Highly recommend the Comforted Kitty (and Sherri!) in particular!”

“We’ve used The Comforted Kitty multiple times over the last year, and Sherri has been a wonderful companion to our cat when we’re away. We appreciate the detailed check-ins through the app, plus Sherri sends daily messages and photos. It makes such a difference to know that our cat is getting pets and playtime every day! Highly recommend!”

"Sherri was wonderful. She was communicative and sent pictures of my cat along with a full report of what she ate and everything that was going on with her. When I got back I could tell that my cat was happy and well cared for. Thank you!!"
