Update Sept 2022: I am now petsitting FULL-TIME! Thank you to all my regulars and new clients for supporting me in doing what I love most ❤️ Hi, my name is Charlene! I am a full-time experienced pet sitter. I am the primary caretaker who will watch over your pet but if I ever need assistance, my partner Chai (who is also an experienced petsitter on Rover) is here to help. I have personally cared for over 200+ pets and worked with a variety of breeds, age, and different temperaments. My method of care is to work with your pet’s individual needs with the goal that they will feel happy and cared for here! A bit of my background: Before I started petsitting, I was a veterinary technician and my goal was to be a veterinarian. However my experience witnessing surgery and often seeing pets at their worst made me decide the field was not for me. I am so happy I discovered pet sitting as an alternative where I can provide love, attention, and care for animals without the surgical aspect! Seeing animals at their happiest makes me happy and feels so rewarding. I appreciate my experience working as a vet tech because it helped me gain more experience caring for animals and administering medications when needed. I have also previously raised charity and volunteered at my local animal shelter to help foster stray kittens but am no longer active due to my busy petsitting schedule.
