Trainer & Groomer-in-Training 🐶💜

With over five years of professional experience in pet sitting and dog training, I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including reactive, fearful, and special-needs animals. I’ve also served as a Trainer and head of the Lap Dog Enrichment Camp at Mutts Be Fantastic, giving me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. I have recently begun an apprenticeship at Bailey’s Pet Spa, which has given me the ability to give a full service to your furry family. My approach prioritizes each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. For overnight stays, my fiancé and teenage son occasionally joins me as an added layer of protection in case of emergencies or unforeseen issues. I also prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is in loving hands. I’m experienced in handling medication, mobility assistance, and managing behaviors like anxiety or reactivity, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

Schedule

My schedule is tighter due to taking on the apprenticeship as a dog groomer. My working hours range anywhere between 7 am and 5pm, but my end time depends on the daily roster of pups. I am able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays outside of those hours. I offer advanced bookings to guarantee your pet gets the attention they deserve. Overnight stays are priced at $85 to allow for additional daytime bookings, but I can provide exclusive 24-hour care for a rate of $300 per day ($500 during holidays) with at least 1 month advance notice. This higher fee will ensure that all of my time is dedicated solely to your pets, while bridging the loss of income on my end to not take on additional bookings during your stay, as well as to use my time off as a dog groomer.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Charlayne can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
To provide the best care for your furry friend, I ask for the following details: •Special Accommodations: Does your pet require assistance with mobility, medical equipment, or special routines? •Medications: If your pet is on medication, how do they take it? •Behavior: Is your pet anxious, reactive, overly excited, or prone to behaviors like biting, running away, or resource guarding? •Allergies: Are there any allergies to food, plants, or other animals? Please feel free to share any other unique quirks or needs your pet has—this helps me ensure they’re as happy and comfortable as possible!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
