Who We Are:
Not all pet sitters are created equal, and not all provide the same level of professional, dependable care. At Cherish Pet Services, we go beyond basic pet sitting. As members of the Marietta community, we live in the neighborhoods we serve and take pride in building lasting relationships with local families and their pets.
Our experienced pet care team is licensed, insured, and bonded, and each of our sitters is CPR and Pet First Aid certified. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always our priorities.
Before services begin, you’ll have the opportunity to meet both your primary sitter and a backup sitter, so you’ll know exactly who will be caring for your pets. No sitter will enter your home that you’ve not met and approved of.
We believe pets are happiest at home. Our in-home pet sitting services in Marietta, GA, allow your pets to remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings, maintaining their routines while avoiding the stress of an unfamiliar environment.
At Cherish Pet Services, we combine the professionalism and reliability of an established pet care company with the warmth, compassion, and personalized attention of a family-operated business.
Your pets are our family, too! We love, protect, and nurture. It’s in our nature!
After a 20+ year career at Kennedy Space Center in Central Florida, Debbie began pet sitting in 2013, allowing her the flexibility to care for her ailing mother while pursuing her love of animals. She founded Cherish Pet Services in 2014, became a full-time pet sitter in 2016, and has since grown the business into a thriving family-operated company, welcoming another established local pet care business into the Cherish family.
With over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, Debbie brings knowledge, compassion, and a genuine understanding of their individual needs. From playful youngsters to senior companions and pets requiring special attention, she believes every animal deserves to feel loved, protected, and cherished.
Destiny has 20 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. A dedicated and compassionate animal lover, she provides each pet in her care with a safe, fun, and loving environment, while referring to herself as “Aunt Destiny”.
From playtime and feeding to administering medications and providing emotional support, Destiny is attentive to each pet’s individual needs. She treats every animal in her care with the same love and affection she gives her own.
Dee has been a lifelong “cat-aholic” with a deep love for animals of all kinds. She has extensive experience caring for senior and medically needy pets, including her own, and understands the patience, compassion, and special attention they deserve.
Over the years, Dee has cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses and small pets. Although she’s developed many skills throughout her life, her love for animals has always remained close to her heart, eventually bringing her back to working with them.
Josh has always been an animal lover, but raising three little ones meant having a pet took a back seat for a while. Working with Cherish Pet Services gave him the opportunity to reconnect with his love of animals, and he’s since become a proud pet dad himself!
As our primary dog walker, Josh enjoys the freedom of working outdoors and spending his days with four-legged companions. He brings enthusiasm, patience, and a genuine love for animals to every walk and visit.
