Animal Lover & Future Zoologist!

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Cherokee the future zoologist! I have worked at Pet Vet Family Pet Care Center and Kalamazoo Animal Hopsital. I have plenty of professional as well as personal experience with pets. I am trained to administer medications including insulin injections. Animals of all kind are a passion of mine, I spend my free time researching and volunteering with animals. I also rescue and foster them. At work I'm frequently seen playing with the beautiful pets that come in. Since I was young I dreamed of working as a veterinarian, animals truly are our bestfriends and you can be positive they will be treated as my own while under my care, of course I also adore taking photos so you can be sure to get plenty of update photos while you're away.

Cherokee was great with our dog, kept me updated, sent pics and was extremely flexible!

Cherokee was a fantastic sitter! It is clear that she really loves animals and was so attentive to our cats when she came for visits. We were a bit nervous because this was our first time using a pet sitter service, but she was extremely communicative and sent photos every single day we were gone so that we knew how our boys were doing. Even our shy cat, who is tentative with strangers, clearly loved Cherokee - which is a sure sign that she was kind and patient with him. Truly a great cat sitter. Would highly recommend and we would book Cherokee again in a heartbeat!

Cherokee was amazing. When our crazy dog slipped out of her harness and went running when we dropped off, she came out to help right away. Her and Yahtzee were so great for my dog. We found our sitter :)

Cherokee was a WONDERFUL sitter for our fur babies this weekend. We had never used Rover before and were a bit nervous about leaving our babies but she made sure they were so well cared for and talked us through the entire process. We got photo updates and an update on how they did each day we were away. Highly recommend! ☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I follow any and all of your personal rules, whatever you say and need for your pet I can and will accommodate. I am very protective, probably "over protective" of our babies and I will always ensure they are leashed, doors stay closed and locked, and everything is left how you had it.

Information Cherokee M. would like to know about your pet

I have two cats! They are sweet girls, your dog MUST be cat friendly, I rarely leave the house and I request you only book if your pet is able to handle a crate for up to two hours. If your pet has behavior issues, things they don't like, or anything you think I'd need to know of course please tell me. I am very flexible and have worked with every type of pet, I will always understand and listen to your pets boundaries to ensure everyone is safe!

A typical day

I love hiking and with your permission will find walking trails nearby for your pup. I love playing any games your pup plays or if they got lazy bones just snuggling them too. I never forget the kitties either! They will get all the pets (they want that is) and any play toys I can get them to chase I will. At the end of the day I'll follow your specific pets queues and give them the best experience.

When doing drop in visits/dog walking I work a split shift so I am available midday, everyday plus late nights (after 9pm) and all day Wednesday + Thursdays. Your pet(s) will have my full attention and get plenty of play time with me!
