Pet care experience

Experienced and compassionate care

I’m a lifelong animal lover, currently with 3 dogs ranging from 4 lbs to 65 lbs, 4 goofy cats, and enough fish tanks to rival a small aquarium in my home. When I left the US Army in 2012, I started working with animal rescue organizations and it became a passion of mine. I will provide intensive home care to geriatric dogs with complex health needs, including cancer, seizures, tracheomalacia, and diabetes. I have experience with puppy training and caring for adult dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for cats, lizards, turtles, horses, and a variety of fish! Whatever your pet care needs are, I’m certain I can take good care of your furry family.

Cherish was amazing! We have used her a couple times and she always shares lots of pics and updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our pups were loved and cared for.

Cherish has been helping with my girls for years! She is wonderful with them, and they absolutely love her. She is reliable, trustworthy, prompt, and courteous. Cherish is always willing to go the extra mile. If you have the opportunity to work with her, you will not regret it!

Cherish would be an excellent choice for anyone to leave ANY pet in her care! I have known Cherish for over 5 years personally and professionally. I have left my babies (dog and cat) in her care and felt 100% confident that they were in safe, loving, and compassionate hands. Like myself, Cherish has a special place in her heart for animals and would do anything for them! Not only is she amazing with animals, but also humans, so she is easy to trust and get long with. We used to work together in a mental health setting and I have seen her handle people’s hearts with the most tender of hands. She is full of love and compassion, and is intelligent as well. Anyone would be lucky for her to care for their fur, scaled, or feathered babies. She really will go above and beyond !

Cherish is an excellent caregiver for my pets! She was prompt, on time, and was willing to meet my little guys, Rocky (dog) and Bear (Cat), before I left out of town to get a walk through of our routine. They both loved her from the start. Rocky gets so excited to see her because he knows he’s going to be going for a walk. Bear is always at her feet knowing he will get loved on. Cherish does a great job with taking care of my boys. They are checked on, fed, watered, and loved on while I was out of town. Cherish really loves animals and you can tell how she interacts with them. I highly recommend her!

To Whom It May Concern: I have known Cherish for years and she is very caring and the love she has for animals is phenomenal. She has adopted many dogs and cats. Cherish will care for any animal due to her love that she has for them. She will stop on the side of the road and pick any animal up and take it to the vet and get the best care for them out of her own pocket to make sure that the best care is given. She is a true lover of animals along for old people also. She has a kind and loving heart for many things in this world.

Cherish has always been that person that has that natural love, compassion, care, instinct, and knowledge for all types of animals. Cherish has always been the person we all call to help an animal in need, to ask for advice for a sick animal, to care for our pets if we are away. I love animals but, in Cherish, there is something more than just loving them because of how cute they are. She trully cares, gets concern, provides with all they can possibly need. Cherish has saved and rescue countless animals from the elements, from the streets, and provide with safety, and a better future. My sweet pomeranian was one of the 50+ dogs that cherish and her cousin rescue from a trailor with no electricity in the middle of winter. I would trust Cherish 100% with my beloved pets. The compassion, the care, and the natural love for animals makes her the best caregiver. You will not regret it! Thank you Cherish for all you do ! You are truly one of a kind !
