Safety, trust & environment

I have an enclosed backyard without much outdoor furniture so it is safe for dogs to run around and play freely. I also live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of parks (and other dogs) nearby. I love giving dogs attention and can easily adapt to their level of energy, whether the dog is more relaxed and calm or if he/she is more hyper and energetic. We also have a crate and a playpen fence, but feel free to bring your own crate/dog bed if the pup will be more accustom to their own bed!

Information Charlene H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you dog is injured or has any special needs or concerns. I can assist with medication, however if there are injections that need to be given, I am not comfortable with that. Please let me know if you would prefer your pup to be the only one at my place or if they're generally unfriendly with other dogs.

A typical day

During the weekdays I usually take dogs on walks around my neighborhood and they're also welcome to play freely in my enclosed backyard. During the weekends, my parents and I are able to bring them to parks that are a little farther away (we love Irvine Great Park!), the beach, or to Top of the World in Laguna (for bigger dogs that would enjoy the light hike). Whether the dog needs to be stimulated mentally or physically, I can accomodate both!

Pet care experience

I took care of my cousin’s 2 dogs for 3 years when he had to live in another country. In college I’ve also help dog sit and walk dogs. Now, I consistently watch dogs through Rover and am very experienced with this app and dog boarding. I’m reliable with frequent walks, on time feeding, and bathing (if necessary). My parents and I watch the dogs together and we love taking the pups out for walks at the park and beach, or even hikes (for larger dogs).

Nico was returned safe and sound and based on the pictures and videos that Charlene shared daily, had a great time with Charlene and her parents! Will definitely be asking them to watch Nico again! Thank you!!!

Charlene was very kind and I can tell my dog enjoyed his stay with her! I appreciate her constant video anf image updates throughout the day as well.
