About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, especially dogs. I’ve been around them since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve helped take care of family pets, neighbors’ dogs, and friends’ pups—feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine. Your pet will be treated like family with patience, kindness, and lots of care. As a fellow pet parent, I always want to provide the best care possible. My rates reflect the time, love, and attention I give each pet, along with the platform’s service fees I work from home, so pets get to be part of my daily routine—aka my favorite coworkers! I take plenty of breaks for belly rubs, walks, treats, and playtime. Since I’m around all day, your pet gets lots of attention and very little alone time. My flexible schedule makes it easy to keep them happy, entertained, and feeling right at home. I like to take the time to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. I provide a clean, pet-friendly space and a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get their energy out while staying secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including scheduled feedings, fresh water, and any needed medications. Whether we’re inside relaxing or outside adventuring, I keep a close eye on them to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for.
“Cheryl was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better person to sit with my baby while being out of town! She gave me daily updates to let me know how my kitty was doing! I would highly recommend Cheryl!! Thanks again!”

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!
About: I am training to be a dog trainer so I could help train you dogs/cats. I don't have any dogs of my own right now but I would love to help others people and their pets. I would love to take care of pets. I will only stay at your house with your pet if you need me to or would like me to. I can walk them as long as it isn't too hot or too cold for them. When pet sitting I could help teach you pets how to do new tricks.

About: I currently have a cat and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I have worked in nursing homes and provided home healthcare for veterans which has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I am also currently attending Wichita State University to earn my degree in Elementary Education. Between caring for people and my love for animals, I am committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup needs a walk, or cat needs playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. 🐶🐈⬛💕 I’m currently working part-time while attending Wichita State University, but I’m working toward making pet care my full-time focus. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week; I’m happy to help whenever I can. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As both a pet owner and someone with experience caring for others in nursing homes and home health settings, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I will follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of care and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away. 🐾💕
“We have used Ariel several times to do drop-ins for our puppy. She has always met her commitment and Willis is excited to see her. Ariel plays with Willow each time and is always sad to see Ariel leave. Highly recommend!!”

About: Well rounded pet care taker/sitter. Experience caring for animals such as dogs to horses. Many years of house, pet, and property sitting. More than willing to work requests or specific tasks that your companion may need or is a part of their schedule. I am available to care for your pet(s) anytime between 6:00 am - 11:00 pm any day of the week that are available on my Rover Schedule. Please let me know if there is anything more I could do for you and your companion(s). Allowing your pet(s) to adjust to a new environment (or person) is very important. At this time I am not providing daycare or boarding. As a standard, I expect to be able to walk your companion(s) around their own neighborhood or environment that they are comfortable with. If I were to pet sit in a client’s home the utmost respect for property and privacy would be carried out. I would request specific instructions to where I am to be in the home at all times. All services would still be carried out to the same standards. Currently, I do not stay overnight while house or dog sitting.

Cheryl was excellent for us doing drop-ins over 4 days for 4 cats. She was timely, professional, respectful, and kind. Cheryl took excellent care of our cats and home as well as accommodating special requests. She took care of my babies like they were her own and sent plenty of photo updates. We felt at ease knowing Cheryl was taking care of our home. She has incredible communication and is so reliable. We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Cheryl!!
