Highlights
Pet care experience
Training and rescue experience
Offering reptile, small animal, bird, and plant sitting as well!!!! As an owner and lover of exotic animals and more plants than I can count, I understand how difficult travelling can be. Full disclosure (as honesty is the best policy), I’m still learning about plants, but I see no reason your plant won’t continue to thrive with the correct instructions from you. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds since I was a kid. Friends and family often call me for babysitting or pet care advice. Also volunteered in pet and wildlife rescues, worked in exotic pet stores, reptile removers, and am knowledgeable on pet CPR. I aspire to be a dog trainer and enjoy giving your pets the freedom they enjoy while keeping up with their regular home training routines.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Cheryl has been wonderful and accommodating to our dog. She did a lot to help us and our pup feel comfortable in a new environment and answered all of our questions before setting up an overnight stay. Cheryl is extremely professional and knowledgeable and we are so glad to have met her. Our dog is always happy to see her and to stay with her which makes drop offs a breeze.
Once again Cheryl went above and beyond with a last minute booking for my super anxious pup Bear. Cheryl kept me updated through Bear's stay and sent pics of him playing with, and going for walks with the other dogs she had in her care, which was a really sweet touch and helped me relax while I was away. Cheryl exudes warmth and it's no surprise why she is such a natural with dogs. I'm so grateful to have found such a reliable caretaker! Thanks again !
Cheryl was wonderful with our cat. She is reliable, professional, and clearly cares about animals. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again.
Amazing
Although our dogs (both rescues) have tricky personalities, Cheryl worked hard to build their trust and was flexible and patient with them.
Took great care of my pup! We enjoyed the pictures that were sent. She was so tired she slept on the car ride home.

Schedule
I am a forever pet owner, my daily routine revolves around the care and happiness of my fur-babies. Everyone is loved and cared for equally.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When at your home, we will follow your strict (or not so strict), training routine to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in their own home. At my home, I enjoy structure. I’m not a military Sargent, but I will gently and patiently enforce that all pets stay a safe distance from human food. They will be allowed on furniture (unless requested otherwise), however I do prefer to enforce that they only enter the bed or couch when asked to come up. And they will be asked ❤️ My yard is HUGE but needs a lot of work, fence repairs etc. and we live a block away from a great dog park. And when the yard is all fixed up, lots and lots of outdoor time to be had.

A typical day
Lots of hikes and some urban exploring. Maybe check out a different dog park for every visit. In the summer I enjoy bike rides, if your dog is too old, too sick, or too little that’s understandable. But if they’re fit to run along side, and you’re comfortable with it, I can teach them to run along side with me, leashed and away from cars of course.

- I would first need to know that your pet has a clean bill of health, for my safety and other pets in my home. Secondly, if your pet has any allergies, or tiggers such as food aggression, or isn’t good with kids or cats etc. And don’t forget to share with me what they love, ie their favourite treats, where they love being scratched, and other cute quirks I should know about.
