Pet care experience
My flexibility allows me to be attentive to the needs of your companion. That being said, the safety of your animal will be put above all else while maintaining a playful atmosphere. I’ve been a pet sitter and walker for over 7 years and have 3 cats of my own - when I’m not loving on them I’m filling my time with rescue work. I’m extremely comfortable around cats and dogs and can confidently say I have even the grumpiest of them eating out of my hand. I understand that some pets need extra care and attentiveness (elderly, sick, anxious), which I’m all too happy to give. Past clients have had dogs with extreme separation anxiety and that meant I was with them all day, supporting them and their owners through the separation. I know I’m doing my job right if your pet is so happy and cared for they don’t even notice you’re gone! Some clients have had pets come down with unexpected illnesses and it was on me to monitor them closely and provide what they needed to feel better. Every pet I take care of is treated as if they were my own - I always strive to make owners feel comfortable while they’re away. Booking me as a sitter means coming back from vacation knowing you can relax. I keep on top of trash and cleaning, and always make sure the apartment looks as if I was never there (this is reflected in my rates). Please feel free to message me with any questions, I'm always happy to answer! I make sure to ask all the important questions before a booking. Just to be on the safe side, I never allow interactions with other people or dogs without first getting permission from the owner.
Reviews
I was honestly nervous using what seemed like the Tinder of pet sitting but Charisma eased those worries quickly. She spoke with me on Zoom, sent me a copy of her driving license & sent me constant updates & photos about my cat. It was all very reassuring. She is direct, responsive, responsible, proactive & helpful, which is everything you hope for when trusting someone with your fur baby & home. I feel grateful to have found her & will definitely be asking for her help with my cat again when I travel. Thank you Charisma!!
Charisma was great! We could tell our pups had been kept happy and loved on while we were away. Very communicative and flexible. Would definitely work with her again!
Charisma was great. She stayed at our house with our 14 year old dog for 2 weeks over the holidays. He was well cared for, Charisma was easy to communicate with and our house was very clean when we returned. Thank you!
Charisma came to my apartment on short notice to watch my puppy and he loved her. She cleaned up after him and kept him busy!

I take the safety of your animal very serious! Before a booking you might find me asking for a guide on how to best care for your pet so they don’t even notice you’re gone :)
Home
Information Charisma H. would like to know about your pet
Do they get along with other dogs? Do they pick things up off the floor? Have any unusual quirks? History of illness? A regular vet with a card on file?
A typical day
When booking with dogs I always make sure to find the nearest park for at least an hour of play each day. If dog parks are full I typically take them for a walk go explore the neighborhood.

I’m currently working part time and find myself with tons of free time on my hands. I’m typically available around the holidays for walks and drop in visits.
