Experienced full-time petsitter!
Pet care experience
Update Sept 2022: I am now petsitting FULL-TIME! Thank you to all my regulars and new clients for supporting me in doing what I love most ❤️ Hi, my name is Charlene! I am a full-time experienced pet sitter. I am the primary caretaker who will watch over your pet but if I ever need assistance, my partner (who is also an experienced petsitter on Rover) and my assistant are here to help. I have personally cared for 100+ pets and worked with a variety of breeds, age, and different temperaments. A bit of my background: Before I started petsitting, I was a veterinary technician and my goal was to be a veterinarian. However my experience witnessing surgery and often seeing pets at their worst made me decide the field was not for me. I am so happy I discovered pet sitting as an alternative where I can provide attention and care for animals without the surgical aspect! Seeing them happy makes me happy and feels so rewarding. I appreciate my experience working as a vet tech because it helped me gain more experience caring for animals and administering medications when needed. I have also previously raised charity and volunteered at my local animal shelter to help foster stray animals but am no longer active due to my busy petsitting schedule.

Reviews
She took good care of Beemer and he was happy when I picked him up! Will definitely use again.
Charlene is great and will book again!
First time using a dog sitter and I was honestly nervous leaving my anxious senior dog, but she completely put me at ease. She was professional, communicative, and clearly very experienced with nervous dogs. My dog seemed genuinely happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which says everything. I really appreciated the updates and care she gave throughout the stay. Would absolutely book with her again.
My dog came home tired and happy from the fun he had during his stay. 10/10 would recommend.
