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!

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!

Charlene was able to help me out in a pinch with enthusiasm and professionalism. My dog, cat, and plants all appreciated her time, love, and attention. She got some new treats and toys for them as well. So incredibly thoughtful. Thank you Charlene!

Charlene was wonderful to book with! I had a last minute cancellation from my usual boarding facility and turned to Rover and found Charlene and I am so happy that I did! She was very communicative through the booking process and during the stay. Sully was very well taken care of and will be using Charlene again in the future! Sends lots of photos and updates for the trip which can certainly alleviate a lot of anxiety. Thank you, Charlene!!

Excellent as always, did a drop in visit for our little girl Peaches, and even left her with a new toy! Always sends videos and pictures and makes us feel very comfortable leaving Peaches in Charlene’s care :)

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
