Pet care experience

Veterinary Experienced Sitter!

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.

Pets

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!

Cherokee took such great care of my pup. He had so much fun. The home was also cared for well and it was nice to come back just like I left it.

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 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 :)

I am blessed with a work from home position, while house sitting, so long as I can access your wifi, I will be able to be in the home full time. For drop ins and dog walking I have full weekend availability and Wednesday most of the day! The rest of the week I can do early morning (before 9) or late night (after 8).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Cherokee can host up to 1 drop-in per day
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.
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.
