🐾 Pawsome Pet Paradise!

Pet Care Experience & What Sets Me Apart With years of experience in boarding facilities, animal hospitals, and shelters, I provide expert care tailored to each dog’s needs—whether they’re playful puppies, seniors, or pets with medical needs. Medication administration, special diets, and routine monitoring are never an issue. As a full-time pet sitter and stay-at-home mom, my focus is entirely on your dog’s comfort and safety. Our days are filled with personalized care—active pups get plenty of playtime and adventures, while laid-back dogs enjoy a cozy, stress-free retreat. Why choose me? ✔️ Medical & behavioral expertise from vet/shelter work ✔️ Your dog is my only priority - no long absences ✔️ Customized stays (no "one-size-fits-all" care) ✔️ A true home away from home—calm, loving environment Every stay is about quality, not quantity—because your pet deserves the best!

I’ve booked with Charlene a few times now and she has been amazing! My dogs love her and her family. She gives timely updates and send lots of pictures. Thank you for always taking good care of my girls. If you haven’t book with her, you’re definitely missing out!! I’d give her 10 stars if I could!!

Charlene was great! I have two dogs with special needs (one is 14 and diabetic and the other has PTSD, she’s a rescue). Charlene had zero fear taking them and caring for them while my family traveled over 5 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. Pick up and drop off went smoothly. Will definitely use her services again.

I had a great experience with Charlene ! She kept me updated very frequently with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She responds super quickly and was very accommodating with my schedule and any requests I had. I truly appreciated her care and attention, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 21, 2025

Charlene was absolutely wonderful with my pup, Cupid! From the moment we met, she was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand Cupid's routine and made sure he was well cared for throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her hands — and that peace of mind is priceless. Charlene kept me updated and made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. I could tell Cupid was happy and comfortable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care is my daily routine! As a full-time stay-at-home mom, your fur babies get round-the-clock attention. We're on a flexible pet-centric schedule here - whether it's midday play sessions, cozy nap times, or evening cuddles, their needs always come first. Consider me on duty 24/7 (or as I like to say, 25/8!). My homeschooled kids and resident rescue cats make our home a lively but carefully managed pet paradise where safety and fun go paw-in-paw.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety First, Love Always – Our Pet Care Promise In my home, safety is non-negotiable. Every pup has their own crate for meals and downtime, and we maintain a dedicated dog room to manage playstyles or personalities that need extra space. While we encourage socialization, we never force it—your dog’s comfort comes first. Our Routine: ✔ Supervised, structured fun – Playtime, walks, and cuddles follow a balanced schedule. ✔ Kid-smart environment– My children are pet-savvy but never interact with guest pets unsupervised. ✔ Your dog = family– They’ll get the same attentive care as my own pets (including rescue cats, who rule the house!). ✔ Stress-free transitions – Need separate walks/play? No problem—we adapt to keep everyone happy and safe. Whether your pup thrives in group play or prefers solo attention, we tailor their stay to feel like a true (and secure) home away from home.
