Sherri's Bio
Hello, my name is Sherri Carchia-Dailey, the owner of Comfy Critters, & I currently live in South Plainfield, NJ. I have been pet sitting for a long time now, over 10 years, and enjoy it very much. I started pet sitting for my family & friends when I was young and have been doing it ever since. My own pets include two cats, a dog and a bird. Mickey & Mallory are my cats who I rescued Oct. 2004 and Birdy, my cockatiel, had been with me since 1992. Nikita is my dog, a Samoyed I rescued in 2007. My love for animals and the happiness they bring me is why I chose this path.
