About our happy tails

At Happy Dog Adventures - Sonoma County Hiking!, we believe every dog deserves a joyful adventure. Our 'happy tails' represent successful and fulfilling experiences for the dogs in our care. We're thrilled to share some of those stories with you, highlighting what makes our service special and different.

"I know my dog isn’t just safe—he’s having a blast and being treated like family. We wouldn’t trust anyone else."

Alex T.

“I can’t thank Sherry enough! Max comes home from hikes with her tired, happy, and completely content. She tailors the walks to his energy level and always sends photos along the way. I finally feel like he’s getting the adventures he deserves!”

Emily R.

“Our older lab, Daisy, has special needs and Sherry treats her with so much care. She balances gentle walks with fun play and always keeps her routine consistent. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in loving hands.”

Marcus L.

“DeJa and Sherry were amazing with our shy rescue, Luna. She came home confident, happy, and excited for the next visit. The way Sherry manages socialization and off-leash play is unmatched!”

Sarah P.

“I travel quite often, and Happy Dog Adventures means my dog Teddy gets to go on his own vacation too!!  Sherry takes him somewhere fun every day and sends great videos that always shows Teddy having a blast.  Sometimes I think he has a better vacation than I do!

Ann E.

“We're incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing dog sitter.  She treats our pup like one of her own and takes her on the best adventures!  We always know she is happy, loved, and in great hands.  We honestly couldn't recommend her highly enough!”

Clare D.

"Sherry at Happy Dog Adventures is truly exceptional!  We feel so lucky to have found her.  She takes incredible care of our boy, Tui, whether it's a quick visit or longer stay.  He's always off on amazing hikes and beach adventures and getting solid social time with DeJa (Sherry's Vizsla and Tui's girlfriend!) and the rest of the pack!"

JP E.

Tui has special diet and sometimes needs medication, and Sherry is always on top of it. Most of all, she showers him with genuine love.  Pretty sure Tui loves her more than he loves us!  We couldn't recommend Sherry more highly."

Sthela E.

"Sherry is incredible!  Our dog Zeus comes home happy, calm, and tired every single time.  The hikes, the attention, and the photo updates make it so easy to trust he's in good hands."

Allen R.

"We were nervous leaving our baby, but Sherry immediately put us at ease.  She truly understands dogs and their individual needs,  It feels like leaving our pup with family which is so much better than a kennel!"

Clark T.

"Our dog absolutely lights ups when he goes to Happy Dog Adventures and runs to the dog to see DeJa and and meet his new friends!  Between the outdoor adventures and the relaxed home environment, it's the perfect balance."

Sherry cared for my highly trained PudelPointer and went above and beyond especially when she became sick with cancer.  She learned all of her commands and took her on fun, enriching adventures with her Vizsla.  Since her dog is a pointer, it was a nature fit!

Sadly, my girl passed a few months ago, but I now have a new puppy and can't wait for Sherry to care for her as she grows!
