Reviews
Charlene was kind and wonderful to our dog Rudy and although in the end it was not a good fit I came away with additional information about my dog and will continue the search. Thank you Charlene!
Teddy definitely enjoyed his stay! I picked him up happy and exhausted! Thank you Charlene for your help and tips on training!
Charlene went above and beyond all of our expectations. She is very knowledgeable about animals and made sure that she knew all of our dog's particulars so that she could personalize his stay. She sent updates and took exceptional care of him. It seemed like he had a great playing time with her dog, Belle. I have complete trust in Charlene and would not hesitate to have her take care of our dog again next time we are away.

Information Charlene A. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know breed, age, and the dog's experience with other dogs and level of training. I would only be able to take on dogs with a sweet temperament, if they are naughty or pushy that will not work. I will need a record of flea control, shots and vaccinations before agreeing to care. Free visit to see if get along with me and my dog.
A typical day
time permitting; walks in LBA forest / Pioneer Park each day.. . inside play and cuddle time.. with toys and rope and play with my two australian shepherds... who are well socialized and not agressive.
