Pet care experience

I want to be your pets best friend

I serve the Citrus, Hernando and Pasco area. I am heavily experienced dog walker, exercising large breeds was a specialty of mine. Love all types of dogs especially pitties, boxers, and Weimaraners. Don't get me wrong I love the little guys just as much! I was employed as a farm hand taking car of horses and farm animals I have experience with cats, birds,reptiles, fish and let's not forget bunnies! I have been a pet owner for all my life. I currently am the parent of a golden mix and a black short hair. I have had parakeets, guinea pigs, rabbits and salt water fish. So If you own it I have probably owned it or taken care of one. I have recently relocated to Florida after living in NY for over 25 yrs in NYC as well as rural upstate NY.

Cheryl was very patient with my dog and especially me! LOL I'm like your typical dog owner handing over our fur baby to a dogsitter for the first time. I was especially impressed with the photos and feedback afterwards- had no idea that this was the process with Rover.com. Great job Cheryl! Thankyou and can't wait to use you again.

Cheryl is awesome! We took our first trip without our 1 year old pup and he couldn't have been in better hands. The first time we met her our pup was in love. He actually laid by the front door to block her from leaving. He is pretty choosy about who he wants hanging around, but he took to Cheryl right away. She gave him plenty of exercise and snuggles. Also, he is very lean and can be finicky with food. We were worried he wouldn't eat but that wasn't a problem...total win! Not only did she take good care of our furry family member, she also took good care of our home. She is trustworthy and kind. Our pup spent the day after we got home looking for her. It was very sweet. We look forward to seeing Cheryl again.

Cheryl did an excellent job. Even though Cheryl had the most top reviews and repeated bookings, I was so nervous about having a stranger come into my home and care for my cats. When we did out meet and great I got positive vibes but I was still nervous. Well, I can tell you I had nothing to worry about. Cheryl arrived early each morning and sent updates along with photos of my babies. It was such a relief hearing from her each day. When I got home, my babies greeted us and were happy and content. There was fresh water and food and clean litter. My house was left in spotless and in perfect condition. I was very happy that I made the right decision to leave my babies in her care and will be definitely be using her again! Thanks so much Cheryl for taking such good care of my pets and home!!

We can’t say enough about Miss Cheryl. If it wasn’t for her we would never vacation. You know she just loves our Ruba and has a passion for what she does. The pictures daily is wonderful. The extras are really not necessary but believe me when you get home your house is spotless. She is a treasure. Thank you Cheryl for loving our baby . We love you 🥰
