About: I've grown up with a love of all animals and have had at least one dog or cat in the family for as long as I can remember. My mom managed a boarding and training kennel and took me to work with her every day, where I not only assisted her with the daily tasks, but also learned about caring for animals of all types and sizes. I started pet sitting for family and friends around the age of 10, and also was responsible for taking care of the pets in our home. I take my animals out for regular playtime and bathroom breaks, clean up the yard, and feed and water as needed. We have an older dog so I've also gotten comfortable with administering medication, whether it's chewable, hiding pills in treats, or injecting into the animal itself. I was bit by the pet lover bug at an early age, and it's become a huge passion in my life. My schedule is open and ready to accommodate any of your pet sitting needs. I have reliable transportation so I can either stay overnight to pet sit for you or stop by for a quick check-in or playtime. I will treat your dog or cat like a member of my own fur family.I am comfortable feeding, crating, and administering medicine as needed. I will put the safety of your animals above everything else, so rest assured your pets are my top priority.
About: I’ve cared for small to medium size dogs since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me to feed, groom and walk their furry friends I’m currently working part-time, which allows me the flexibility and availability to give your pup(s) plenty of attention and care. I’m also available for boarding if you’re heading out of town and need a safe, loving place for them to stay. While I don’t have a fenced yard, our neighborhood offers plenty of space for enjoyable walks and grassy areas for potty breaks. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Yorkie at home who loves to play and socialize.
“Wonderful sitters! Joyce and her husband took such good care of our 4 dogs. We were really happy that they were able to come to our home multiple times per day in order to feed water and play with our 4 sweethearts. And Joyce was able to take 1 dog to the vet to look at an injury that occurred PRIOR to her starting; the dogs paw got caught in something right before we were scheduled to leave for vacation. Luckily, his paw was fine. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were and are with the house/pet sitting by Joyce!”

“I was kind of in between a rock and a hard place.. I had to go out of town in a week, and didn’t want to leave my dog in a kennel again.. he has special needs and kennels have too many dogs to pay special attention to him so I tried Rover... My request for assistance was accepted right away. I was always able to reach the sitters and they sent me updates and statuses ... definitely recommend Cheyannes assistance if you need a sitter”
“We had the pleasure of having Heather take care of our sweet golden at the last minute on a holiday weekend while attending a family funeral. I was a nervous wreck to leave my girl with someone strange but Heather took the leash and handled everything professionally. Her communication (pics included) put me at ease. She was great - went above and beyond - and if I lived in that beautiful area I would hire her often and feel right at ease.”
