Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Caring Pet Lover
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve never let myself go without having a dog. For over 25 years I’ve cared for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments - puppies through seniors, anxious rescues, and high-energy dogs. Your animal is part of my family while they’re here, not just a guest and I genuinely enjoy having more dogs around, as does my dog! I’m in SW Portland with my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Layla, and I provide you with updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Always an amazing stay for our dogs! They are sad to leave every time, even our anxious senior dog. Looking forward to our next booking.


Fantastic dog sitter! Really appreciated the updates and making sure my dog was comfortable because she tends to have some anxiety with people and dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great sitter!

We loved having our dogs stay with Cheryl! Communication was great and both dogs appeared happy to be there and even our anxious dog did not seem stressed upon pick up. Will definitely be rebooking!


Cheryl and family were so kind and wonderful. Took amazing care of my Coco, promising updates and pictures. Made time to meet us beforehand since Coco has only been left with non family a few times and was nervous. Appreciate knowing she was in caring hands. Would highly recommend.

We booked a last minute boarding with Cheryl and it was the best experience. Cheryl is kind, communicative and treated our dogs like her own. Highly recommend and will definitely would book again in the future!
If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for your pet, Cheryl is that person. She’s patient, kind, incredibly attentive, and animals naturally gravitate toward her. Cheryl takes the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and makes sure they feel safe and comfortable. I trust her with my own pets without hesitation.

Schedule
I work mostly from home, which means plenty of outdoor breaks and consistent supervision throughout the day. My Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Layla, is two years old, easygoing, and great with all sizes — she just loves having a friend around. My kids (10 and 14) are here half the time and are natural animal lovers, so your pet will have no shortage of company and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet deserves to feel safe and at home while their family is away, and that’s what I’m here to provide. I’d love to care for yours.
Pets
A typical day
We usually run and play in my fenced large yard several times a day. If your dog is one who needs to chase a ball for mental stimulation, we will make it happen! Our dog Layla also loves playing with others and we’ve never had any issues with her interactions.
