Finding someone I could truly trust with my big Rottweiler, Thor, while going on vacation was one of my biggest concerns. Thor is a large, strong dog, and leaving him with someone new was not an easy decision for me. Then we found Charlene, and she made everything so much easier! Charlene gave Thor so much love, care, and attention ruly beyond my expectations. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated, which gave us such peace of mind during our vacation. Knowing that Thor was safe, happy, and in such good hands allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. I am so grateful to Charlene for treating Thor with such kindness and care. I honestly feel like Thor now has a second home! ❤️ I highly recommend Charlene to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and loving to take care of their dog. We will definitely be coming back to Charlene! Thank you!

This was a 2 weeks stay, as we were flying abroad. Charlene always gave us updates, sent pictures, said if she ate or not, our dog was clearly taken care of. Picking her up,I was afraid she would not want to come back to our home, as Foxy (our dog) ) was clearly happy and enjoyed the stay. Truly appreciate the dedication

Charlene was great with our best boy! She was attentive, communicative, and professional, making adjustments to help keep everyone comfortable during his stay. We highly recommend her!

Very happy with Foxy first visit. Just as anyone, I was concerned leaving my dog in a new home, specially mine that is a bit scared of things and people. Charlene was very helpful explaining how things were going, how the adaptation was evolving, sending pictures and notes. Overall, extremely happy and I will leave my dog with her for another 2 weeks, which should speak by itself.

Charlene took great care of my Zoey! After a successful daycare session and trial overnight, I was at ease leaving Zoey with her for an extended period. She loves playing in her yard with her dog, Jack! Charlene made sure Zoey was comforted during the fireworks on the 4th and continued monitoring her for any signs of distress. She also tolerated Zoey digging in her garden (sorry!). Zoey loves being there and looks forward to going back! I highly recommend Charlene!!

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.

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 park.
