Fun & Passionate Sitter!

Pet care experience

I offer drop-in and sitting services in your home for dogs and cats! I can take your dog(s) for walks at least three times daily, but as frequently as necessary! Fetch? Tug of war? Laser pointer for your cat? No problem. I'll be sure to keep him or her entertained. I have experience with administering oral medications and ear drops but willing to learn other methods. Hours for sitting in your home/drop-ins: Primarily weekends but I can be flexible when necessary. I've cared for dogs all my life! I rescued Stormy, the shih tzu mix in my cover photo, in 2015 when I attended Grad School in North Carolina. He lives in Indiana with my parents for now but I visit often and take care of him from afar. Since he does not live with me, I have extra love to give. I am very passionate about dogs and devoted to learning. In my spare time, I read and study about different training and handling techniques. My studies range from the ancestral history of dogs as well as uncovering common misconceptions about their cognitive and psychological abilities. Allow me to assist with your sitting needs and I'll care for him or her as my own!

Chenika is wonderful! She is very dependable and professional. I was able to leave my cat at home for 5 days and feel that he was well cared for. Chenika also watered my garden and potted plants for me. She responded very quickly and came on time. I could not asked for anything more. She was perfect!

Chenika was very accommodating with a last minute booking. I returned home to very happy well-fed cats, and clean litter boxes. Many thanks and I would highly recommend her.

Chenika was super friendly and took great care of Purrona for us! Our meet up went great as well; Chenika was extremely professional and knew all the right questions to ask, even though we were so inexperienced with cat sitters in general. (Thanks for your help!)

Chenika was very friendly and made the initial meet up and key exchange super easy. She was great with my two cats. Would definitely recommend her and use her again.

Information Chenika B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the typical daily schedule of your dog, temperament, favorite treats, and any medical conditions (including allergies). I would also like to know your preference for interaction with other dogs during walks and play. If you have a cat in the home, no worries! I would just need to know the typical interaction between the dog and cat so that I know what to expect during my stay.

A typical day

During walks, I believe in letting dogs explore with their noses. Depending on your location and preference, we can go the nearest dog park. Additionally, I will make sure to keep your dog entertained throughout the day with everything from toys to cuddles.
