Pet care experience

Pawsitively Purrfect Pet Care

I'm a lifelong pet lover of all ages, have had dogs my whole life many different breeds and ages. With expertise in senior care and medication management. Your pets get personalized, loving attention right at home. Special Note: As the school year begins, I will only be accepting furry friends who are comfortable being alone for a few hours during the day. Preferably, they should be kennel trained. Rest assured, they will not be alone for more than 5 hours. Thanks for your understanding!

Boomer had a blast and made himself at home within minutes. Love the pictures that were being sent over while he was in her care. I would highly recommend and will be a retuning client.

Cherissa and her family were wonderful. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with them. Cherissa sent me constant updates and pictures. Would highly recommend her and would definitely use her family again.

Cherissa and her family were great! They took excellent care of our dog, and clearly played with him and enjoyed being with him. I would definitely work with Cherissa again, and highly recommend her.

Cherissa and her family were wonderful watching our new rescue dog for our wedding weekend! We were nervous to leave her for the first time but got so many photo and text updates and could see she was happy and taken care of. We hope to continue to work with Cherissa in the future and can’t recommend her enough.
