Dogs are my soul animals

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for creatures since I was 14. I’ve owned Rats and Rabbits, Worked in an exotic bird store. Cared for pot belly pigs, goats and chickens and currently own 10 dogs and 3 cats, and a foster cat. I also work as a kennel attendant at a shelter. Although I have had many years with animals I can’t get enough. I’ve had over 20 years with all types of pets.

Charity was an amazing care taker of my dog Marley while I was away for several days. Every day, I received texts and picture updates on what her and Marley were doing for the day which I really appreciated and enjoyed. I was concerned about leaving my dog behind, but Charity seemed very intuitive towards animals. Charity made the whole experience reassuring and fun for my dog! I would hire her again.

Charity has been really flexible to work with, when I’m in a pinch I just schedule with her and I don’t have to worry. She’s friendly and understanding and my cats love her because she lets them come to her. She’s not overbearing or too in their face. I’m so happy to have found her and would recommend her to anyone I meet.

I travel a lot for work, Charity was recommended to me by a co-worker to try out while I was away on business. I have 2 amazing Dobermans Mars and Jupiter. They are basically my children, I wouldn’t trust just anyone with their care. I used boarding facilities in the past, but always felt as if they were not able to give the individual attention to my pups. So I decided to give Charity a call a few weeks before I left on a 6 day business trip and I have never used any other services since. Her care and compassion and just overall connection with animals is uncanny. Mars and Jupiter took to her immediately. I was given updates instantly upon request and photographs and a daily schedule of activities she planned for her and my pups. Charity is a huge asset to my family. I don’t know how she does it but it’s almost like she connects with my pups on a different level, I’ve never had them take to someone so quickly and on other occasions when I used her service, my pups would see her and run right up to her. I know without a doubt that when I have to leave them for business they are in excellent hands.

Hi there, my name is Nathaniel Howell and I am currently attending school for pre vet. I highly recommend Charity Howell because she along with myself love with many animals all shapes and sizes from fish to 6 big dogs. All well trained with the exception of the fish of course. You wont be making a miss take when you bring her onto your team! Best regards, Nate

Information Charity H. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, bathroom behavior and any medication regimen. It’s also helpful to know how your pet walks on leash or any quirks they may have. It’s best to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

A typical day

I love playing fetch and tug of war however butt scratches and belly rubs are my specialty. We could also go for a walk, roll in the grass, say hi to nature while outside and if we feel like chilling animal planet is our favorite to watch, and don’t forget the snacks! I always want your baby to be comfortable and happy.
