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.

Another successful trip! Cheryl is absolutely amazing, as always, and loves our kiddos like they’re her own. We feel incredibly blessed to have her caring for them while we’re away. She truly is the absolute best! You won’t find anyone else like Cheryl. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Cheryl just stayed with Denali for three nights while we were away at a Work conference out of state. Our dog is at the point where she’s getting up in age so it seems harder to leave her every time. Having Cheryl at the house give us such a peace of mind that she’s taken care of so well. Cheryl is absolutely amazing and loves our girl like she is her own. If you are ever in need for someone to take care of your animal Cheryl is the one. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I couldn't be happier with the care my cats receive! Cheryl is reliable, thoughtful, and always keeps me informed while I am away. She even brought in a couple of packages that were delivered unexpectedly while I was gone, including a heavy one, which I really appreciated. She takes wonderful care of both my indoor and outdoor cats, giving me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her!

I think our house was cleaner when we got back than when we left, that aside Cheryl was a fantastic House sitter / dog sitter. Cheryl sent updates and pics everyday several times, our small pups are usually nervous nellies but always looked relaxed, content had their ears up, just looked happy! Photos of our Lab on walks, playing in the yard relaxing in her bed, just can't say enough about how happy and relaxed it made us feel that our fur babies were happy and being cared for, she also fed my wife's feral cat colony outside, wonderful feeling knowing that such a wonderful and caring person was there taking care of our house and "Kids" we definitely recommend Cheryl and will use her again. Thanks Cheryl !!

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 our go to when we need someone to watch our pup. She is dependable and prompt. It is so comforting to know our dog is in good hands.
