About: I've had dogs since I was 11 and I have my own puppy who I am owner-training. I can walk, bathe, do minimal training, or dog sit for you. I will work with you to be flexible around your dog's routine and my schedule. Let me know in advance what you need so I can work with you. I treat dogs like family. I understand how much our pets mean to us. I also have experience with ESAs and Service Dogs. I know how important your dog is to you and I will treat them like my own.

I love leaving my dog with Cheryl because I know she's in good hands and will be loved while I'm gone.”

19. Emerson F.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so I understand how much they mean to you. This isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely love. I’m tuned into animal behavior, patient, and always focused on making pets feel safe and happy. I treat every animal like my own and go the extra mile to keep you updated and worry-free. Caring for animals is already a regular part of my life—I’ve built my daily and weekly schedule to make time for pet care. Whether it’s walks feedings playtime or overnights I have a flexibility to give your pet consistent, focused attention pet care isn’t squeezed into my day. It is part of my day. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I create a calm, safe and loving environment tailored to your needs. I follow the routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, medication, and snuggles—just the way you would. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. In my home, pets get a comfortable, quiet spot to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. Comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
20. Colleen C.
“Colleen is personable and friendly and clearly a dog lover! She connected quickly to my Bella and at our meet and greet. We had a great conversation and she let me know all the ways she was respectful of how an owner takes care of their pet when she cared for them. Over the course of the three walks this weekend, she communicated regularly and provided updates as requested! We're looking forward to working with her again!”
