Availability

I am a hybrid employee that works remote Wednesdays and Fridays. I am available for extended weekend housesitting services, as well as drop-in visits or dogwalking on Wednesday, Friday, and weekends. My dog is friendly but aging, so boarding services are only available for low-energy dogs. If you need boarding services for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, please note these are days I am in the office so your pet will be left alone for an 8 hour work day.

This was a second or third booking for Channing to housesit and take care of our big, crazy dog and two cats. I let her know ahead of time that the dog wasn't feeling well and gave her the option not to housesit - but without hesitation, she said she'd housesit and take care of the dog. This really impressed me as pets have issues all the time, and she was reliable and up for the job. And Channing did a great job - everyone was happy and calm on our return. As before, I'll definitely book Channing again.

The dogs loved her. Easy communication, sent updates throughout the weekend. The house was jjust as clean as it was when I left. Highly recommended.

Channing was AWESOME! Let me preface by saying my little pup has some well-earned separation anxiety, which I discussed with Channing ahead of time, and she was brilliant with my little guy! (It was the FIRST time I didn't hear from neighbors that my pup sounded distressed.) She worked with me to discuss ideas to help my pup cope with the separation, and she followed through. My dog seems happy to be with Channing, and I can't recommend her highly enough (except that I don't want y'all to take all her availability! ;-) ).
