Experienced, fun and caring

Pet care experience

**About me** Hello! My name is Charity, I have over 20 years experience with animals large and small. For over 15 years I have worked as a horse trainer and farm manager. As I child I grew up with and cared for our family dogs and even worked in a local adoption center. I also have experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel manager. All of my family dogs have stayed with us until their passing, and my most recent dog "Eros", who I adopted in 2016 after he was abandoned in a house, is a wonderful 50lb. german shepherd/australian shepherd mix who I adore. He is very friendly with other dogs and knows basic commands. I have done some basic positive dog training with my dog Eros and would be happy to continue to help keep up with any specific training your dog is working on. Senior Dogs: I am happy to keep up with required maintenance and medication necessary for your senior dog. **About my home/services** My home has a clean, grassy backyard, with a tall privacy fence to keep your dog safe, and to allow them to get some fresh air. Basic bathing services for $30 Additional, blow dry and basic brushing $10 Drop-In Visits: While I cannot accept cats into my home, I am happy to come to your home for drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I can also provide dog walking services while there, if needed. **About my neighborhood** I live in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood, where the kids are often riding their bikes in the afternoons, having fun. Nights and days are quiet and relaxed. **What to expect** I have available for your dog's comfort a large memory foam dog mattress and an extra large dog crate if needed. I also have extra dog bowls on hand, so no need to send yours unless you prefer to. **Special rules or requests** Not accepting aggressive dogs.

Charity is wonderful and is flexible with our schedule. Our dog loves being there, he just walks right in without a backward glance!

Charity is so easy to work with. We travel a lot for sports and never really know when we are going to be back but Charity works with us to figure out what works best for us and her family. And we love the pictures she sends!
