Information Charlene V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for, I've worked with dogs as young as puppies to seniors and understand the special care they need.

A typical day

Fetch is my favorite game, I will stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in the neighborhood and hang out at the local dog park.

We had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with the care our Yorkie received. It was obvious from the start that princess was being cared for by someone who truly loves animals and treats them like family. The communication throughout the stay was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that kept us informed and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Every care instruction was followed closely, princess’s routine, preferences, and comfort were clearly prioritized. The walks and play sessions were a highlight, and it was wonderful knowing princess was getting plenty of exercise, attention, and affection each day. I also greatly appreciated the respect shown for our princess’s individual needs and personality, along with the thoughtful approach to providing both companionship and a comfortable space to relax. When we picked up Princess, it was clear Charlene had been showered with love, kindness, and exceptional care. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Charlene to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care my Shiba Inu received. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such loving and capable hands. The attention, compassion, and patience shown throughout the stay were truly exceptional. I especially appreciated the consistent communication and updates, which included photos and messages that reassured me my little boy was happy, safe, and thriving. The daily walks, playtime, and engagement were fantastic, and it was clear my little boy received plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. What stood out most was the genuine love and understanding shown toward my little boys unique personality and need for personal space when appropriate. He can be a hand full with his energy. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.
