Availability

I’m fully retired and home full-time, which means your pet will receive round-the-clock attention and care. Unlike sitters who juggle other work commitments, I’m always available to respond to your pet’s needs, whether that’s an extra play session, immediate attention if something comes up, or simply providing constant companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and will have someone dedicated to their comfort and happiness at all times.

Information Charlene K. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best possible care for your dog, please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, or specific requirements before booking. This includes medications, allergies, anxiety triggers, socialization preferences, or any routines that are important to your pet’s wellbeing. The more information you share upfront, the better I can tailor my care to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy.

A typical day

While under my care, dogs enjoy regular walks tailored to their energy level and ability, plenty of playtime with toys, and opportunities to explore and sniff around the neighborhood or yard. I maintain their usual feeding and bathroom schedules, provide fresh water throughout the day, and make sure they get lots of affection and attention. Whether your pup loves fetch, tug-of-war, or simply curling up for a nap beside me, I adapt to their preferences and personality to keep them happy, exercised, and content.

Pet care experience

I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter with over a year of professional pet care under my belt, maintaining a consistent five-star rating from happy clients. My love for animals started at home with my own cat and dog, which taught me how to understand different pet personalities and meet their unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so I make it a priority to follow your routines, send regular updates, and ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. My experience spans various breeds and temperaments, from energetic pups who need plenty of exercise to more relaxed senior pets who prefer quiet companionship. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and can adapt to any special requirements your pet might have. When you book with me, you can expect clear communication, punctuality, and genuine care for your pet’s well-being. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend!

This is the second time I've used Charlene. My two dogs seem very happy to be there and she does a great job keeping them happy and entertained.

Charlene took such good care of our Izzy while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. She sent us pictures and updates daily to let us know how she was doing. This was such an ease of mind for us while we were away. Her neighborhood also has a dog park that they visited daily, which was great for our active dog. We will definitely be calling Charlene again!

We were very pleased with the care for my fur baby. Charlene is an extremely loving caregiver. I highly recommend her to care for your dog. Pictures and video's send every day and great updates. Charlene took him to the park and kept him active. She is a truly master to take care of dog. My dog had a fantastic vacation. She is also very flexible for the changes of our flight time. EXCELANT, I just can’t say enough thanks to Charlene.
