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) -Reactive Dogs & Walking -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 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

Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

Our dog loves Chardonay and Ben! This was our second time booking a house sit with them, and we will absolutely do so again in the future. 😊

Chardonay and Ben were fantastic with our pups! They gave updates throughout the day with lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving my reactive pup in their care. Both puppies were tired when we got home and the house was so tidy!

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.
