Founder
Sherry Bonner grew up with and has always loved and cared for all kinds of pets. In college, a roommate’s Doberman Pinscher, Sir Damien Von Rommel War King III (yes, he was a big boy!) became Sherry’s defacto pet when she was the one who ended up feeding and walking him everyday. After college, her five cats earned her the nickname “cat Mamma.”
Fast forward to 2004 when she had the Eureka! notion to channel that passion into a new business. She asked her own pet sitter about the idea and what was involved. Providentially, that sitter was retiring and moving out of state. She asked Sherry to please take care of her customers.
Sherry is also a lifelong entrepreneur. With Pet Partners, she feels she has come full circle and landed just where she wants to be – she loves the pets as her own, enjoys the exercise and being outdoors, and appreciates her clients who share her passion for excellent pet care.
She is certified in pet first aid by the American Red Cross, has an interest in pet nutrition, has fostered for the Montgomery County Humane Society, and keeps up-to-date on dog training and behavior. She has a Political Science degree from George Washington University. She speaks German, canine, and some feline (so many dialects!).
Currently, Sherry shares her home with these 4 pets of her own:
- Minx, a smart mystery mutt who can yodel like a Basenji and chase squirrels like a terrier;
- Milo, a lovable but neurotic Sheltie;
- Pepper, a very calm, sweet, and gentle black lab mutt.
- Kitty Kitty, our elderly cat, all of 6 pounds and our little fearless wonder
