Charity was amazing with Gumshoe. She sent tons of photos the whole time, and he always looked so happy and like he was having a great time with her. She was super prompt with replies and always so nice, and she’d ask questions whenever she needed to check on something. She really went above and beyond when she dropped Gumshoe back off at home, she made sure he’d been let out and fed before handing him back over. That kind of care means a lot, especially with an older dog like him. We’ll definitely be booking Charity again. Highly recommend her!

Schedule

I am local to the North Hills/ Midtown Raleigh area and care for my own dogs daily, along with any Rover dogs, and requests to pet sit from family or friends as they pop up. Pet sitting is offered in my own home, but if you're interested in House Sitting (Watching your dog in your own home), I offer that service as well-- so long as it's booked well enough in advance not to conflict with confirmed boarding or doggy day bookings.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with a fenced-in back yard. The neighboorhood has sidewalks, is adjacent to greenways linking up to Shelly Lake/Sertoma Park and Optomist Park; great for walking.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the activity, my dogs are pretty good hosts to Rover dogs. :) So aside from general yard time, they may get to play tug or fetch or wrestle my dogs or myself. We may walk around the neighborhood or nearby park. Trails do link up to Shelly Lake. There may even be a pup-cup from Goodberry's on occasion.
