About Cherokee M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow any and all of your personal rules for your pet and then some. 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, even with "darters" (I have my own experience with a darter) and will ensure everything is left how you have it, I fully believe in leaving no trace when caring for a home, your home will be just as sparkling as you left it!
Information Cherokee M. would like to know about your pet
Id like to know of any behavior quirks, or special needs, this will never change my mind about a booking, this is only so I can prepare and best care for your pet. I have experience with pet aggression and have a fear free certification. I dislike the word aggression as its often just fear. I can administer all medication types and do it fairly well even with our sometimes difficult babies.
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.

Veterinary Experienced Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hello,I am Cherokee, with 4 years veterinarian office and tech experience, I have worked at Pet Vet Family Pet Care Center and Kalamazoo Animal Hopsital. I also volunteer at several shelters and John Ball Zoo! This gives me plenty of professional as well as my personal experience with pets. I am fear free trained and experienced with special needs and fearful pets. I am trained to administer medications including insulin injections. ALL animals are a passion of mine and I rescue and foster. At shelters I'm frequently seen playing with the beautiful pets that come in and getting to know their comfortability. I believe animals truly are our bestfriends and you can be positive they will be treated as my own while under my care! As a bonus, one of my hobbies is photography, you can expect a beautiful photo or two of your babies and of course the standard daily photos to keep you up to date on your babies.
Cat care experience
Cherokee also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Great with our kitties! Would highly highly recommend!
Cherokee loved our cats, and kept in contact with us while we were away. She managed very well with all of their individual needs and quirks, and even helped train our one indoor/outdoor cat to use its new cat door. They all easily connected with her, and accepted her; she was, of course feeding them! She's fun, and caring, and we will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip 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!
