Information Cheryl L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is any special needs or temperament that I need to be aware of beforehand. Also if medications need to be given.

A typical day

I love playing puzzles with my dogs and trying to get them to figure out how to get the treat out of the puzzle game. My younger dog is very food oriented so he figures these out pretty quickly. I like walking on new trails with my dogs to let them smell all the new smells.

Pets

I have a spicy kitty at home

Cat care experience

I've had cats all my life. Growing up we had a colony of cats that we would feed. I have a cat that was abandoned as a day old kitten that I have raised into a spoiled boy. I do have experience giving medications to cats since my kitty needs to be medicated (vet insisted unfortunately) just to go to the vets for health checks. Thank you.

Cheryl is the perfect sitter for your four-leggers. She was terrific with my 2 dogs. Even with Wally who doesn’t trust anyone. She knew exactly how to make him feel at ease. I was very impressed and I will definitely hire her again.

What makes my dog's day? Cheryl! Mr. Pup is so happy when Cheryl takes him for a walk. He knows she will take care of him and give him fresh water during their trek. Thanks for taking such good care of my Mr. Pup!

Hi I'm Brennan S. Cheryl is a co-worker and our pet-sitter confidant. She has been watching our animals for the past 4 years for when we go on vacation or have an emergency. My wife is a certified cat breeder (Maine coons) so we don't just let anyone watch our animals because if anything were to happen, we would be out a lot of money. The main thing that we love about Cheryl is how attentive she is with her care. She just doesn't show up to feed and water them. She sticks around and takes time to play with them and attends to all of their needs. I recall one time, we had just had a litter 2 weeks before vacation. While she was taking care of them she noticed that the momma cat wasn't allowing the babies to feed for very long. So Cheryl went to the store and got formula and individually fed the 5 baby kittens. We strongly recommend her to anyone that is in need a caregiver for their fur babies. You will not be disappointed!

My Jenny just loves Cheryl. After getting her walks in Jenny is so calm and content. Jenny even received a chew toy on her birthday from Cheryl. Thanks you all you do.
