Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy interacting with pets. Walking dogs and playing fetch is a great way to spend time. Offering a lap and entertaining cats with feathered wands is fun. Cuddling bunnies, collecting eggs, and growing fodder is all part of the adventure, also. It all comes naturally to me. I provide fresh food and cool water in clean containers. Litter boxes are monitored throughout the day. Dogs are always kept on a leash when on walks.

Information Cheri I. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs medication or has physical limitations, responds well to common commands, has behavioral issues, has favorite treats/toys, needs to be crated, enjoys particular activities or must avoid given circumstances.

A typical day

I stick to a pet's normal routine as instructed. That may include, but is not limited to; walks, games, car rides, and cuddles. I take notes at the meet-and-greet to ensure that all will go well.

Bella has been very responsible and responsive. She kept me updated with many pictures which I appreciated. My dog needed extra attention during this time-medicine etc and she did a great job. She took care of the house too. Informed me on everything. We found Bella last minute but she managed to steal my dog’s heart during the stay. Thanks so much!

Cheri did an excellent job. Our home was perfect will be arrived. Everything clean, and in order….my dog loved her. She sent multiple pictures every day documenting everything even my dog’s medication. If we’re giving stars, I’d give her six she was the best.
