Pet care experience

Loving, Responsible, Professional

I have been in the animal field doing extended stay pet sitting in private homes since 2011. I have the following experience: dog bather and groomer shelter caretaker for cats dog daycare facilitator on-the-scene solo animal rescuer 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 while I'm serving you. I am comfortable with administering subcutaneous medicine and handling elderly and frail animals. If your pet is prescribed insulin, I will send you a photo of the dosage in the syringe so you know that your pet is receiving its proper dose.

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.

Cheryl was able to watch our two dachshunds on incredibly short notice and did a fantastic job! Highly recommended to anyone in the atlanta area!

I have been using Cheryl's doggie sitting services for over a year now, and find myself consistently satisfied. She is competent, capable and compassionate. I like the fact that she is willing to watch my dogs at my home. The doggies are more comfortable in their own space, (and my plants and fish don't die either!). My 3 dogs vary from a 25 lb pure bred firecracker, to a 50 lb couch potato and an 80 pound bully rescue, and Cheryl handles them all with ease and treats them all with the same loving kindness…they love her. I have simply never had a problem with her work. My advice is to use Cheryl's services now before she realizes that she could be charging double the price!!
