Availability
I work part-time, four hour shifts. When I stay with a pet I adjust my work schedule so that I work few shifts and enjoy my time with the pet. I strive to be away no longer than 5.5 hours at a time. For dog walking only services, a dog usually needs much longer than 30 minutes per walk, so I recommend booking for an hour. I am open to adjusting the fee if necessary.

Safety, trust & environment
I no longer bring new pets into my home because I had one elder dog staying who was incontinent and it was a problem with wall to wall carpeting...
Information Cheryl S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if they nip if I touch any part of their body or need to pick them up, If it is ok to let them meet other, friendly dogs on our walks, and if they have any sore spots or health problems that give them pain or distress.
A typical day
I try to walk dogs on dirt and grass, and let them follow their noses; It's easier on their paws and joints and they love to huff- in rich soil. I stay away from choke-collars and head-halters because I want dogs to be free to explore, and have a walk free from pain, fear, and tension. If a dog gets wet or muddy from our walk I clean them using a MudBuster and a wet then dry towel that I bring to each walk, left at the door-step for use on our return.

Pets just wanna have fun.
Pet care experience
I grew up bringing cats home, and have always been concerned with the humane treatment of animals. I am a conscientious animal lover who knows that dogs need to explore and sniff outside to calm themselves and to feed their interests. Most cats like to get repeatedly "combed" with damp hands to remove dust and loose fur. I listen to a dog to find what pace and range they are comfortable with, and let them go with their curiosity. Once a pet knows me, they are often overwhelmed with excitement to go out for their personal adventure; then I know that my work is for good - they are having fun and experiencing nature. The goal is to make your pet's life more fulfilled, calm and happy. Cheryl
Reviews
The animals are so happy and calm. Thank you for caring for them and thank you for helping so much. We appreciate everything you did for our family and the animals!
Cheryl is an incredible pet sitter. Highly recommended
Cheryl did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and anxious dog. She even spoiled them with tasty dinners. She was dependable, thoughtful and she kept me well updated. You can tell she has a passion for caring for animals
This was my second time booking Cheryl for an overnight stay with our pup. It was very last minute notice, but luckily, she was available. She took care of our Molly like she was her own. She is very thoughtful, patient and kind with her and our home. If your are in search of a great dog sitter, Cheryl is your person.
