Pet care experience

White-Glove Professional

Exceptional care for pets and peace of mind for their people. I provide elevated, boutique-level pet care for clients who want more than basic drop-ins: Clients who want a trusted professional dedicated to their pet’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. With a background in property management, professional caretaking, entrepreneurship, and wellness instruction, I bring a uniquely high standard of attentiveness, reliability, and discretion into every home I serve. My clients value knowing their pets, and their homes, are being cared for by someone detail-oriented, trustworthy, and highly experienced. Whether your pet loves adventurous walks, structured routines, or simply compassionate companionship, I tailor care to their individual needs. I am experienced with behavioral considerations, specialized diets, medication/medical instructions, and maintaining consistent routines for pets who thrive on familiarity. You can expect thoughtful updates, abundant photos, diligent safety practices, and attentive communication throughout your booking. You’ll always know your beloved companion is thriving in capable hands. For me, pet care is never transactional. My goal is to provide genuine companionship, emotional reassurance, and exceptional stewardship while you’re away.

Cheryl did a great job caring for our Iggy! She took him for rides to the beach and showed him a lot of care. Also left our place very clean!

Cheryl has house sat for us and cared for our cat and dog several times now. She’s absolutely wonderful! The animals love her, and she is completely reliable. she takes our athletic dog out for hikes and walks, which he obviously enjoys,.She also takes fantastic photos of the animals and leaves the house perfectly clean and orderly. Can’t recommend her enough!

Ahead of time, please be sure to set up an account with a local veterinarian if you haven’t already. Let me know what kind of special needs they have and if any medication needs to be administered.
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.
