Pet care experience
I have been in the animal field doing extended stay pet sitting in private homes since 2011. I have also been a dog bather and groomer (1 year as a bather, and 3 months full-time groomer after on-the-job training), shelter caretaker for cats (100+ cats and kittens in two cottages, including isolation care), dog daycare facilitator, on-the-scene solo animal rescuer, and TNR trapper. I have served on multiple continents & I have handled hundreds and hundreds of dogs. I grew up raising cats and kittens from birth, and have raised a mid-sized dog from 4 weeks old. I am comfortable with caring for some farm animals also. let's talk about your needs. Your pets' and family's special needs are my priority. I have real-life professional and personal experience with administering subcutaneous medicine (such as for diabetic dogs, and in emergency situations) and handling elderly and frail animals. I am happy to discuss domestic services (cleaning, laundry, etc) for during longer stays (5+ nights). Please inquire.

Reviews
Cheryl provided the perfect care for our boys. We got home to happy relaxed dogs. Simply amazing.
Cheryl watched our elderly dog 2 weekends in a row for overnight visits. She was amazing! She was great with communication prior to the stays, confirming with us both times on dates and times. Our dog can be crabby and Cheryl was super patient with him and treated him so well. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let us know everything was well. We were so lucky to get Cheryl on short notice and we truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.
Our pets were in good hands with Cheryl! She took excellent care of our dog, cat, and guinea pigs over Christmas. Ziggy in particular was sad to see her go.
Cheryl was excellent. She cared for Banzai our pug while we were out of town for several days. I would recommend Cheryl to anyone in need of a dog walker / sitter.

What are your dog's special needs? Have they ever shown aggression or do they have any emotional difficulty? Have they ever initiated a fight with another dog while on or off leash? How are they with leash walking?
A typical day
Usually a walk is local around your neighborhood. Playing fetch or doing training exercises for treats, or curling up on the couch with the pack.
