24/7 PROFESSIONAL PET SERVICES

Pet care experience

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.

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!

Oh my goodness are we are so happy and so lucky that we found Cheryl. Our girl Hazy suffers from separation anxiety since we adopted her and it kicked back up again from moving into a new house. We were anxious to go on vacation and leave her with someone new, but Cheryl was so perfect with her and hazy trusted her instantly! We loved all the picture updates and could tell that hazy was in good hands. I would highly recommend Cheryl and we can tell that hazy would like us to go on vacation again soon!

Safety, trust & environment

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.

Information Cheryl S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a hike on their favorite trail or a good game of Frisbee, whatever your pet enjoys will be the activity. No one knows your pet like you so I defer the preference of activities to you. I'm flexible and find joy in all activities. With decades of experience comes the knowledge and experience of detailed caring for special needs dogs/cats.

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.
