Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Information Charleen D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, or behaviors I should be aware of. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and supported. I also appreciate knowing their routines and preferences, like favorite toys or things that might make them nervous, so I can make their time with me as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged both physically and mentally. For dogs, I like to play games like fetch, go on relaxed neighborhood walks, and explore a big park nearby. For cats, I create cozy environments for lounging and interactive play like wand toys I love keeping pets engaged both physically and mentally.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike.

Charleen watched my cat on multiple occasions over several days while I was away on vacation, and she made sure my baby got all of the food, water, and love that she needed!

Charleen cares for any pet like it’s her own. I have a rowdy Irish Terrier mix that always seems to be calm and preserved in her presence. Charleen has a natural instinct for understanding animals’ needs, responding to their energy with patience and confidence. Lastly, Charleen is very thorough with things like feeding schedules, exercise routines, and emotional cues, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and loved. I couldn’t think of anyone better to recommend for watching all types of pets, especially those that need more attention and are very hyper.

Hello! I highly recommend Charleen as a dog sitter. She has always taken great care of my 3 year old corgi many times, and I always feel at ease knowing that my dog is in good hands. On top of that Charleen is extremely kind and responsible, she has always followed the schedule that I have planned out for her and constantly keeps me updated throughout the day. Charleen is someone who I fully trust, and I would 100% recommend her.

I have a nine year old Maltese and Charleen has always gone above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable. Prior to starting, I informed her of my dog’s health conditions as well as eating and walk schedule. Charleen followed them well and regularly updated me on his well-being, including suspicious behavior. I recommend especially if you have older dogs that need more attention and love!
