Loving your dog is a privilege!

Pet care experience

I have never been without a pet in my life. I have looked after pets for over 45 years. I am a nurse, compassion is at my core. I believe pets are an integral part of the family. My pet care philosophy is not different than how I would care for one of my patients. Directions are there to follow and guide my tender loving care. Empathy and trust are at the core of my care. Entrusting your pet to the care of another is a leap of faith and I understand that. I have been in your position as well. I have my own pet sitter and knowing that my dogs (Hazel, Blue and Greco) are in trustworthy hands puts me at ease when I am away from them. I am affectionate and have lots of love to give your furry family member. I am a school nurse. I have the summer off and I am looking to fill my days up with caring for your furry loved ones. I can work out a schedule with you that will make you feel comfortable. I would consider it a privilege to care for your pet. I am very flexible and staying busy is what I am all about. Entrusting someone to care for your pet in your home just as you would is my ultimate goal. I want you to come home to a happy, calm and cared for member of your family. I would approach each and every cuddly client as if they were my own. I have 3 dogs and cherish them. I make sure their needs are met before my own because they are reliant upon me for their care. I would treat your dog with the same that same consideration at the forefront of my mind.

Charlene was terrific. I highly recommend her. Her schedule was flexible to accommodate mine and my two dogs were well taken care of!

I’m so happy to write about Charlene. She is as wonderful to my dogs as if they were her own. I have even had the pleasure of knowing her sweet fur baby. She is kind, respectful of our home and we had her spend nights. She kept on the schedule and my dogs think that she is one of their humans. Charlene is someone I can leave and not worry about my dogs. She has become a very important person to our family. You will love her.

Charlene has been an excellent dog sitter for my dog, Blue. He get's so excited when we bring him over! She has a true love for animals and is very caring and considerate. She always sends us pictures of Blue during his stay and he always looks like he's having the best time with her and her dog, Hazel. She is an awesome sitter!!

Information Charlene F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's preferences, what are your dog's favorite toys, places to rubs and tricks they like to perform. What games do they like to play? Do they like to just sit and be rubbed or just have company? Is it ok to give your dog a treat, if so, what types of treats do they love? Do you want me to take them for a swim or to the dog park?

A typical day

Your wish is my command. I truly want to treat your dog just as you have requested. If left without specific requests, a long walk in a park, a game of fetch and or some good belly rubs are always available. I will speak to your dog with soft loving tones and will send you pictures so you don't miss a single tail wag.
