Hi! 👋 I’m Charish 🐾 My main service is in home pet sitting and overnight stays 🐾 I stay at your home so your pets can keep their routine, sleep in their own bed, and feel safe and settled while you are away. ❤️—Before relocating to Harrison, TN from Seattle, WA, I ran a successful doggy daycare for years. Even before that, I was the go to pet sitter for friends and family, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals 🐶❤️🐱 ❤️—Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls, quirky Pugs and Dachshunds, plus some silly kittens and snuggle bug cats. 🥰 I’m comfortable with puppies and kittens, seniors, and everything in between. ❤️—In home stays are a great fit for pets who • do best in their familiar space • get anxious in new environments • need extra supervision, meds, or gentle support • thrive on one on one attention ❤️—What you can expect from me • reliable, respectful care in your home • consistent updates and photos • clear communication and punctuality • lots of love, play, and companionship ❤️—I also offer daycare and boarding in my home • I only take 1 to 2 clients at a time • My partner and I both work from home • Pups have access to a 1 acre fenced yard, doggie pool and lots of toys! •Best fit for dogs who are non reactive with other dogs ❤️—I know firsthand how tough it can be to find someone you trust with your beloved pets. That’s why I approach my work with professionalism, reliability, and lots of heart. Whether your pet is with me in your home or mine, they will be loved, pampered, and thoroughly snuggled. 💕🐾 Travel note: For homes located more than 40 minutes from Harrison Bay State Park, a one time travel fee of $20-45 will be added depending on distance.

Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!

Our dogs love Charish and so do we. Charish watched our dogs while we traveled to Paris. She sent regular updates, pictures and videos. I could tell that the dogs loved her and were very comfortable and not stressed. She's so great with them and it was fun to see videos and hear her giggling in the background at their antics : ) I'm so glad we found her on Rover and we will continue to use her when we need to travel without our fur babies.

Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!

Charish did a fantastic job with our Sheepadoodle, Nooga for an overnight stay. We did a meet and greet the week before her stay. While we were gone we got updates with pictures! Nooga seemed to be content and enjoyed her stay. Really appreciate The Charish took to love on our girl!

Safety, trust & environment

❤️—Whether your pup is staying in my home or I’m coming to yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with crate training and can keep your pup on their established routine. I also take safety seriously. I’m prepared for emergencies with first-aid supplies, emergency vet info on hand, and clear protocols in place. When I’m staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect. Keeping things tidy, sticking to your pet’s usual schedule, and making sure they feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings.

Pets

A typical day

❤️—Throughout the day, I keep pups mentally and physically engaged with a variety of fun activities like: • 🧠 “Find it” scent games & logic puzzles • 🐾 Hide-and-seek & tug-of-war • ✨ Fetch of course! • 💦 Kiddie pool splashes & sprinkler fun in the summer • 🍦 Frozen treats & lick mats to cool down Each dog gets one-on-one attention and activities tailored to their energy level and personality, whether they’re a playful or a laid back.

To give your dog the best care possible, I like to learn a bit about their personality and routine ahead of time. Here are a few things that help me prepare: • 🐕 Has your pet ever shown aggression toward people or other dogs? • 🍽️ Any personal space issues, like guarding food, toys, or resting spots? • 🐾 Are they comfortable around small dogs and/or high-energy pups? • ⚡ What’s their general energy level? Any favorite activities or things they dislike? • 🌿 Any allergies I should know about? • ⏰ Do they have a daily routine or specific rules you follow at home? • 🥩 Are they on a special diet or taking any medications? The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m coming to them! ❤️🐶
