Experienced, loving and reliable
Pet care experience
I have dogsat for people all over the world from the mainland to Costa Rica for over 40 years. People have entrusted their dogs to me for vacations out of the country, long term & short term. I accept them into my home and treat them just as if they were my own! Lots of love, hugs, walks and smooches! I also make sure to follow the pet owners instructions so they are cared for exactly how the owner wants them to be. I am very careful and conscientious while caring for someone else’s dog, safety is first on the list! I am very loving, have high integrity and ethics, plus I am very reliable. Since I am home all day your pet would be with me 24/7. I am one that enjoys interacting with the dogs, whether it be playing fetch or going for a walk everyone enjoys getting outside. I have a Chihuahua, named Jimmy, that I walk quite a few times during the day on a trail that we have made to the back of the property. He is a nice calm guy that gets along with everyone. I am very careful while attending someone else’s pet, I know that they are like their baby so I take care of them like one of my own. In other words I spoil them rotten!
Reviews
Wanted to say a special thanks to Cheryl. She was outstanding! From the first time I met her with my dog, Coco, I knew they would get along. Coco is 3 years old and had never been away from home. I wanted Coco to have an overnight stay to see how well she adjusted. To my surprise, she did well. In fact, I think she misses the attention given by Cheryl and her small dog Jimmy. Cheryl has that friendly personality that just makes everyone she is around feel right at home. During Coco's stay she sent me several messages along with pictures giving updates. They were very much appreciated. It's great to find someone who cares for your dog and loves her work. I would highly recommend Cheryl!!
Cheryl was just amazing! She sent updates and took amazing care of my boy, who absolutely loved hanging out with her pup Jimmy. He came home happy and tuckered out. We are just in HI traveling, otherwise would absolutely use Cheryl again!
I am so glad to hear from her that my puppies were doing great and slept well. I recognize that she has cared for many dogs, and my puppies looked to feel comfortable. She is also so nice; she sent detailed information to get the location.
Amazing host!! Kept me updated every single day with texts and pictures, lovely property and energy! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful with pets that I sit as well as my own. I keep a good eye on them at all times, making sure they are safe and not getting into trouble! I have a gate at the top of my stairs so I know everyone is safe and where they are supposed to be. I live on 3 acres in a little Ohana 450 feet back from the road. It is a very calm and quiet atmosphere with no neighbors in sight.

Information Cheryl R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if the dog has allergies, needs certain foods or has any special quirks. I would like to know the different commands that the owner uses with the dog so I can communicate with it as easily as possible in the language it is used to.
A typical day
I live on 3 acres in the country, we have made a nice path to the back of the property that the dogs love to explore all the smells on. It is a nice safe place to walk while staying at home. If the owner would like me to take the dog elsewhere to walk I can do this as well. I’m always up for a game of fetch or any other activity the dog enjoys. I enjoy spending time with the animals that I take care of. I am also available to take care of Jacksons chameleons, small caged animals such as guinea pigs, rats, mice, hamsters or gerbils. I would also be happy to take care of your parakeets or cockatiels! I have had all of these types of pets before and I am very capable of performing the care they need.

Caring for people’s pets fits right into my lifestyle, as I am retired and an artist. I spend most of my time at home doing my artwork and working outdoors on my property.
