Pet care experience

Dog friendly home with fenced yard!

I've always had dogs in my family, including several rescue dogs which has been super rewarding. My husband and I were fortunate to be able to retire early but we are both very active. I wanted to spend my time doing something productive that I love and caring for dogs is the perfect fit! I believe that every dog deserves to be valued and loved. I limit the dogs I board to a maximum of 5 dogs at a time in order to ensure that each dog will get proper care and attention (with the exception of over holidays when I will book up to 10 dogs) I don't work outside of the home. If I need to run an errand or go shopping, my husband is typically home to care for them. Dogs are rarely left alone, but if they are, it is for no longer than 2 to 3 hours. When the weather is nice, we keep the sliding door open so that the dogs can hang out indoor or outdoors, wherever they feel most comfortable. During the colder months we let the dogs out every two to four hours. We don't crate dogs unless that's what they're used to. We allow dogs on our furniture and in our bed.

Cheryl was super easy to work with - a true professional. I know my old pup was well taken care of because he didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up!! (What a traitor 😊) I highly recommend Cheryl.

This is the second time we have taken our dog, Millie to stay with Cheryl. Millie tends to have a little anxiety, but even after a year she remembered Cheryl and felt comfortable. Millie usually doesn’t eat much when we leave her at a house, but Cheryl supplemented homemade dogfood into Millie’s food (after asking our permission of course), and Millie thrived. She gave us the recipe to use after if we choose to do so. Cheryl doted on Millie, sent us photos daily, and was quick to respond if we had questions. When we come back to Spokane, we will without a doubt ask Cheryl to take care of Millie again. We highly recommend her!

Pets

A typical day

My husband and I will treat your dog(s) like family. The dogs we sit are allowed on our laps, furniture and bed and they will get lots of playtime and attention. When a dog is in my care, he/she will receive plenty of petting and treats. I always have durable pet toys on hand for a fun game of fetch or just for chewing on. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac of a dog friendly street with a park-like area just across the street which is perfect for walks. I'm available to take your dog for a walk if requested (weather permitting).

Cheryl can host up to 5 pets per night
What are your dogs favorite activities? Do they like to sit on a lap, a sofa or do they prefer a dog bed for lounging? Do they like to hang out in the yard? Are treats allowed? Do they have any allergies? Are there any personality quirks that I should be aware of (i.e. food or toy aggression, separation anxiety, etc.) ?
