Pet care experience
24/7 PROFESSIONAL PET SERVICES
I am fully vaccinated and stay with your pet 24/7 as needed. I've been a dog, cat and horse owner/lover for over 40 years. I am a former Executive Director/Program Director of the Shea Center. Dogs and horses have been my lifelong career path and with it comes years of unrivaled experience. I am 100% dependable and will follow your instructions to the letter. I've owned German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and a variety of rescue dogs. I was a founding member and VP of the Capistrano Animal Rescue in SJC and a founding member and first President of the San Juan Capistrano Equestrian Coalition. I am capable of administering medications as needed and following detailed instructions. I'm an avid hiker/walker and absolute pro pet snuggler. I've had a lifetime of experience with animals that have special needs, physical and/or behavioral. I am available on a full time basis and look forward to following my passion of caring for your pets.

I care for your pets as you care for your pets. I usually do two complimentary meet and greets prior to a new pet so everyone is comfortable and completely on the same page.
Ratings and reviews
We are so grateful to have found Cheryl. She took wonderful care of our pet family, and was communicative and attentive while we were away. She took the time to understand the “ecosystem” of our home, and each animal within it. We look forward to working with Cheryl again soon!
Cheryl is exceptional. A wonderfully kind and engaging woman, and a true dog whisperer.
Cheryl was the best! Handled our kooky cattle dog with ease. Great communicator! Can’t wait to have her sit again
Cheryl was very kind and patient with our dog. With many years of experience with both dogs and horses, she has a unique understanding of dogs, especially those that can be challenging. Would definitely recommend Cheryl!
Cheryl was very responsible with my dogs. I have one dog who is elderly and one who is an adolescent. Both with specific needs. Cheryl was able to accommodate both no problem. She is very cheerful, kind, and calm. Thank you Cheryl.
Cheryl was wonderful with our little puggle. She put our worries at ease with daily pictures and comments.

Schedule
Housesitting with your pets is more than a job. Getting to know different breeds and personalities is my passion. I'm with them 24/7 as needed and they get my full attention. I love to go for walks/hikes, take them on outings or snuggle up and watch TV. Whatever their normal routine is, I can accommodate it.

- All traits that you feel I should be aware of to ensure the comfort and safety of your dog. With years of owning many horses and dogs, I've learned skill sets to deal with any behavioral or physical issues. Communication with you, the owner, is vital and I encourage you to share any detail, large or small.
