Fur-cations 🐾 With Char & Ben

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Chardonay, my partner Ben and I LOVE Animals! Here are some unique skills & specialized care experience that we obtain: -First Aid & CPR -XL Breeds (Great Danes, Mastiff, GSD, and More) -All levels of Separation Anxiety -Reactive Dogs & Walking -Deaf/Blind and special needs -Dog Body Language/ Altercation Intervention -Post Spay/Neuter Care -Senior Dog & Puppy Care -Oral, Topical and Injected Medications We were both raised with always having Foster Pets along with those of our own (Dogs, Cats, Livestock, Small Animals, Birds, Reptiles)! My Mother worked as the Animal Care Manager at the Oregon Humane Society for 19 years so I grew up with a passion for dogs and would love to have the opportunity to be there for them (Along with ANY animals) when they need someone. I learned at a very young age how to read dog behavior and how to train them as well, and my experience grew as I too joined the Oregon Humane Society in 2008 as an Adoption Counselor and Animal Care Technician. Most Recently, I worked at a pet hotel/daycare as a trained Supervisor in the Client and Guest Services departments. During my time there I handled the pups daily, assessed their health throughout the day, intervened during dog to dog altercations, treated minor injuries, and took guests to the vet as needed. I am Certified in pet CPR and First Aid! Ben is also an animal lover and gives AMAZING walks during our stays! He works with our guests by providing patience and affection in caregiving. He has spent years around animals while training, feeding, rescuing and handling all sizes from horses to chihuahuas! Ben brings a calming energy to animals, in which they seem to adore and gravitate to :) Throughout our years of experience we have obtained many skills; Animal Handling, Training, Surgery after care, Dog walking, Medication Administration, TLC and more:) For your Furry Loved one, a day with us would include: -Long walks -Playing Fetch -LOTS of TLC -Jogging/ Small trails -Basic Commands Training (if you'd like) w/ Treats Plus Much More! Please feel free to contact me anytime if you'd like to discuss further details about us, our experience, or to Book! Thank You

Chardonay and Ben were fabulous! Our dog adored them and we did too. They were professional, prompt and we had such a fun evening knowing they were looking after our dog. Chardonay was also great to communicate with during the planning and sent us cute photos while we were out. Definitely book these two if they’re available!

Chardonay took great care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town. Communication before and during my travel was great, and I received lots of photo updates. 😊 I came home to some very relaxed pups and a tidy house. Will definitely book with her again!

Char and Ben did a fantastic job caring for our sensitive rescue dog! The daily photos and updates gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our girl was relaxed and happy in their care. 💕

Char & Ben were great with our pups! This was our first longer overnight with them, and they eased all nerves about leaving our dogs. We got multiple updates and photos each day and confirmation Ellie got her medication each night. Glad to have these two take care of our dogs!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
