Safety, trust & environment

I understand each person has unique rules and expectations for their animals and house. I will do my best to respect any guy lands, and we have full disclosure of anything. I do not think I will be capable of handling.

Information Cherish S. would like to know about your pet

Please have a list of medications, favorite activities/toys, and the rough or exact schedule your pet is used to. If you have ever had someone new watch your pet and have any notes I would love to be able to utilize those to ensure a great time for your pet.

A typical day

It will vary depending on each pet. The information you give me on favorite toys and pass times will heavily influence what activities I do with your pet. Some dogs love chilling out on my lap and getting pets, while others need me to throw the ball for hours on end.

Pet care experience

Growing up I had pets but my family has had up to 7 animals at a time some with arthritis some needing special care so I'd be more than happy to accommodate any of your pets needs. I have some vet tech training, which includes being trained to look for Animals behaviour to make sure everything's okay with them, dealing with all types of pets, and proper care. I do have a job Monday through Friday 6am to 230pm.

We used Cherish for in-home pet sitting while we were out of town. She was kind and our dogs were cared for, but there were several issues that would make us consider other options in the future. When we returned, there were muddy paw prints and quite a bit of dog hair throughout the house, as well as some leftover takeout trash on the counter and a beer can left outside. One of our dogs had also gotten into a sticky ant trap, which ended up being tracked around the house and wasn’t cleaned up. Additionally, a dog bed had been chewed up and left in the room without being addressed or communicated. Communication overall was inconsistent, as we often had to prompt for updates and photos. On the final day, there was also no clear communication about when she left or when the dogs were last fed or let out, which made it difficult to know their status when we arrived home late that evening. Overall, Cherish seems well-intentioned, but we were hoping for a higher level of attention to detail, cleanliness, and communication.

Cherish was great, couldn't have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to stay with their dog.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
