Safety, trust & environment
My home has 2 locked doors to get in and is in a very safe part of Somerville. I currently have a gecko who I feed daily and ensure he has a balanced diet and regular vet appointments as well as enrichment. When I had dogs and cats in the past I was outside for hours every day playing with them and making sure their lives were happy and fun. It brings me a lot of joy to see animals happy and enjoying life. Their lives are so short I want to make every moment a great one.

Information Charles C. would like to know about your pet
I'm open to any kind of pet and I can handle any special care they may need. I would love to know all about your pet before I take care of them to ensure I can give them proper care!
A typical day
When I had my dog, Holly, we would run around in the yard and explore the woods together for hours. I would train her to do tricks and I also gave her regular baths(which she loved). Holly loved to go for walks, run, and cuddle. Almost every night she would go to sleep in my bed. For cats I love using toys to keep them stimulated, I would play with my cats until they got tired. My cat, Star, loved to watch movies with me while I pet her. I was the only one she would let rub her belly. I love keeping animals entertained and having fun with them!

Pet care experience
Hello, I would like to say I have had the joy of having dogs and petsitting throughout my life and have loved every aspect of it. My dog, Holly, lived to be 18 years old under my care. I took care of her from when she was a puppy until the end of her senior years so I have a wide range of knowledge on aging dogs. I have a lot of energy so keeping up with a dogs' exercise needs will be no problem. And to me, dogs are family. My dog was like a little sister to me so I understand the trust involved in letting someone else take care of them. I can assure you I have a wealth of compassion for animals, and, given the opportunity, I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Thank you for considering me to care for your dog and I hope you have an amazing day!

Reviews

Great communication and very friendly! Would absolutely recommend and book again.
Charles was a nanny to my children for 3 years. He was a very hands on, and interactive caretaker which is why I chose him. He would not allow the children to be on electronic devices instead he would involve them in either art projects, crafts or playing games. It was apparent that he cared for their wellbeing, and the kids genuinely loved having him. They thought of him as a companion, but whom they also respected. Charles would often bring his black lab over to play with the children. He has a very strong connection with animals and children and it is apparent when you spend any amount of time with him. He is a very empathetic, responsible, and caring person whom I trusted with the care of my children and was beyond satisfied with how he managed them. I only wish he hadn't moved because we all miss him dearly!
I highly recommend Charlie! He treated my dog as if it were his own! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring, He’s your guy!
I first had Charlie watch my 2 cats and dog when he was 12. He has a real way with animals, he was always rescuing hurt animals and took good care of all the pets he's had over the years, he's had a lizard for 10 years I believe. Charlie is my nephew and he's going to school for animal science in the spring, I trust him with my pets and I think he'd be up to any challenge or needs your pets have.
