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.

Cheryl was the best! Handled our kooky cattle dog with ease. Great communicator! Can’t wait to have her sit again

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.

THANK YOU Cheryl for taking care of our Shadow while we were on our family vacation in Colorado! I am so glad that Shadow and you had such a great time together despite the torrential rains that happened in California while we were gone. YOU are the best dog sitter we have ever had, and we appreciated all the updates and pictures that you sent us! We will definitely use you again in th future!

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Cheryl can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
