Information Charlene S. would like to know about your pet

Before your pet's stay, I like to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, any medications, and how they get along with other animals. It’s also helpful to know if they have any quirks, anxieties, or special needs—every detail helps me give your pet the best care possible!

A typical day

When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like one of the family! During boarding stays, we enjoy daily walks, backyard playtime, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I keep routines consistent with what your dog is used to—whether that means playtime, quiet time, or special feeding needs. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you're away!

Pet care experience

Will care for your parrots, cats, dogs, fish - I have them all and will treat yours with as much love and care as I do mine. House sitting covers basic "away" duties (mail, lights, pet care, delivery acceptance). Pet sitting in my home means fun, treats, separate quarters if needed, and lots of exercise. Dog walking / bird time / fish feeding on your schedule and at your home one day a week or every day all year. Need a few hours away from your dog? I can do that, too! Have considerable experience with horses and barn animals, too, if you need some mucking or exercise/entertainment. Prices listed are my standard fees; I can work with you to suit your budget/needs. Thank you for clicking & please reach out if I can provide more information!

Charlene was reliable as always, and communicated with copious cute photos of our cat. Monty loves how she spoils him!

Charlene was a lifesaver, tapping in on short notice and yet making time to meet and greet our cat Monty. She is personable and clearly loves animals, but does not seem easily rattled by whatever may arise. She bonded with Monty quickly and shared copious photos (appreciated!) of the two of them enjoying her visits. She even brought over toys, a grooming brush and a litter restock. Charlene was reliable and conscientious, and her care allowed us to enjoy peace of mind on our vacation.

Charlene was so incredible to have helping me out – pretty last minute – with my pups and kitty. She communicated wonderfully and adapted to many changes that came up. One of our pups gets extremely anxious and with mommy gone & his brother injured, it was worse than normal. When the dog walks were doing him more harm than good, she pivoted and did some playtime with him at home instead. ❤️ My MIL, who was staying at the house, really raved about her & said how amazing she was with all of them, taking time to really love on all of them every day. I would absolutely ask Charlene to come back!

Topaz had another excellent stay with Auntie Charlene! I loved the peace of mind that she was able to provide with regular updates and photos!
