Pet care experience

German Shepherd experience

Trustworthy, retired Sheriff’s Deputy with years of dog care experience ready to care for your best friend in your times of need. I provide in home pet sitting in a comfortable environment. If you have a busy schedule, long exhausting work hours or going on vacation, I can help you out. Send me a message and let’s set up a meet N greet to confirm its a good fit. I have experience with small and large breeds with German Shepherd as a specialty. All breeds are welcome. Must be crate trained for their safety in times I have am not present. Crate training is for the safety and comfort of the pet (their dog den to feel safe). Your pet will have playtime indoors and a fenced area outdoors with plenty of exercise and be treated with loving care. I send pictures through out the day with an update on their activities.

Charlene is very reliable and always comes prepared (special water thermos and all)! My pup loves her, and I love that she's a huge help with my energetic pup!

She is an amazing caregiver for your furry babies! I have a Jack Russell terrier that is losing her eye site and needs eye drops multiple times a day. In the morning and evening. She is there caring for her on time and also gives her love because you know she has separation anxiety also. Along with my cat she is there feeding her too when caring for Dolly (Jack Russell). Baby kitty can’t depend on hard food, since she lost a lot of her teeth, so she requires pate food and when she is there she takes care of her too. I would recommend Charlene to anyone to take care of your furry kids. She does an amazing job! Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

It’s important that your pet feels comfortable and safe in their environment away from home. I have a space designated for visitors that is equipped with a camera for constant supervision. My dogs and other dogs visiting will not interact with each other for safety reasons. Remember your pet will be in an unfamiliar environment and act differently away from home. I take safety measures to ensure your pet stays safe while in my care. I require a meet n greet with your pet to make sure it will be a good fit for both parties. I also provide a drop-in service at your home for walks, potty breaks and anything else that will be needed while you are away.

The typical day starts at about 6am with potty breaks and feedings if needed. After food settles your pet will get some fresh air and exercise. Depending on what has been planned for the day will determine other activities. Potty breaks throughout the day when needed. Evening feedings start at approximately 6pm or when instructed differently.
