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.

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with Baxter! She took such great care of him, made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime, and has a great yard where he could run around and play with her dog. She also sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell that Cheryl genuinely cared about Baxter and made him feel loved, comfortable, and right at home. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely have her watch Baxter again! ❤️

Cheryl is the best! Our dogs quickly became besties and the daily updates with my dog smiling big was the exact reassurance that made me feel completely comfortable leaving our fur baby with her any time!

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!

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 (11 and 14) are here half the time and are natural animal lovers, so your pet will have no shortage of company and attention.

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 or take a walk, we will make it happen! Our dog Layla also loves playing with others and we’ve never had any issues with her interactions.
