Happy Tails Ahead: Book Today!! 🐶

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐶❤️ If you're looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter, you've come to the right place! Here's a little about my background and passion for pups: 🔹 Seeing Eye Dog Club: As a dedicated member of the Rutgers Seeing Eye Dog Club, I not only had the incredible opportunity to dog sit but also played a crucial role in training future seeing eye dogs. This experience taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for pets. 🔹 A Lifetime of Canine Love: Growing up with dogs has instilled in me an unconditional love for these amazing creatures. Throughout high school and college, I happily took care of neighborhood dogs, forging lasting bonds with them and their families. 🔹 A Special Bond: Spending time and playing with dogs genuinely brings me joy. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priorities. 🔹 Apartment Living, Heart Full: Although I currently live in an apartment where I can't have a dog of my own, caring for your pets mean the world to me! Being a trusted pet sitter allows me to nurture my love for dogs while ensuring they receive the utmost care and attention they deserve. 🔹 Your Dog's Second Home: When you entrust me with your dog, they become a part of my extended dog-loving family. Rest assured that your dog will receive all the love, care, and playtime they need, making their time with me as joyful and comfortable as possible. So, if you're seeking a devoted pet sitter who will treat your dog like their very own, look no further! I can't wait to meet your precious pup and embark on some fantastic adventures together. Let's make tails wag and create unforgettable memories!

Charlene was a fantastic sitter. Our dog was well cared for and Charlene gave us daily updates with pictures. The house was left very clean and tidy. Great communication and great care. Will book again!

Charlene was fantastic! As soon as she walked in I knew 💯 that our dog was in good hands. She played with our dog, took her for walks, and just totally loved on her. She also left our house in great condition. I would book her again and highly recommend her.

Charlene took care of our 10yr old dog and our 11 month old puppy for a week while we were away. She managed their very different energies/needs wonderfully. She sent regular photo updates (I swear the dogs were smiling in the pictures), and the house was in great condition upon our return. In fact we had some small, unexpected house maintenance issues pop up and she was able to manage that for us as well. I would absolutely recommend her.

Charlene was wonderful. She gave frequent updates with photos and left the house clean and tidy. Our dog seemed very comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely book with Charlene again.
