Pet care experience

Retired school teacher, NCSU

I only keep one dog at a time. Except for a client who needs sitting for two dogs, my practice is to only keep one dog at a time. I am a semi-retired school teacher who still works part-time and wants to spend non working hours with animals. Owner of 3 dogs, a cat, and two horses with 3 of these being rescues. Responsible for finding homes for 37 dogs and cats who were strays or animal shelter pets. Currently volunteer with animal rescue groups as a foster and transporter. I am a runner and outdoor person who is happiest when I am caring for animals. I am gentle and personable with pets. I look for animals in need and find ways to help. I easily bond with dogs and understand their individual needs and behaviors. As a retired teacher who is only working part-time in schools, I now have time to help and serve more animals. Choose me!

Cheryl was excellent. Lola, my Australian Shepherd, got to hang out with her dogs and become one of the gang. It is great to know when you leave your pet for 8 days that she is well cared for and enjoying her stay. I would definitely use Cheryl again.

Cheryl was great with Buffy! Made her comfortable, made sure she introduced Buffy to her Dogs slowly so they would get along. She has plenty of space inside and outside for dogs to play. I was very pleased with the everyday updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again. She was very accommodating for me. Very nice lady.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 17, 2019

Cheryl was a wonderful pet sitter, she took very good care of my dog that has separation anxiety. She only takes one dog at a time which I love, I know that my dog is going to get the attention that she needs. Sheryl is very thoughtful caring and made my dog feel very comfortable. She took her on long walks, and made her feel comfortable. I will definitely use her again whenever I am in town. She is the best dog sitter in this area.
