Pet care fits into my day like anything else; it's just part of my routine. I have two chinchillas, so every day I’m making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and that their space is clean and comfortable. I check in on them throughout the day and give them the attention they need, whether letting them out for some time to explore or just keeping things calm. Even when I’m busy, I always make time to care for them, and it's just something I’m used to and actually enjoy doing

Safety, trust & environment

Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m taking care of them at your place, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the care they need. I stick strictly to whatever you tell me about feeding times, walk schedules, and routines because consistency is important, especially for animals. I’ll keep their space clean, make sure everything’s secure, and pay close attention to how they’re doing. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

Information Charles D. would like to know about your pet

Before booking me, it's crucial to know your pet's specific needs, routines, and any medical or behavioral considerations. Clear communication about your pet's preferences, dietary requirements, and exercise routines ensures a tailored and comfortable experience for your furry friend. Additionally, sharing any relevant information about your pet's temperament and socialization level helps me provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I start my day by checking on my chinchillas and making sure they’ve got fresh food and water and that everything’s clean and comfortable. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, I stick to their routine and make sure they get the attention they’re used to. That could be walks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I try to make the day feel as normal and stress-free as possible for them. It’s about keeping them happy and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet care from a true animal guy

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had two dogs, a Shih Tzu and a Staffordshire Terrier, plus a hedgehog, and currently have two chinchillas. So I’ve dealt with everything from hyper to shy to high maintenance. I get what it takes to care for different types of pets and actually enjoy doing it. Dogs have always been a constant in my life. I’m good at reading them, keeping them calm, and making sure they’re not just fed but actually happy. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just hanging out, I treat your pets like they’re mine. Giving you care you can count on.

Charles was professional and flexible when my schedule changed. He got along well with my dog, Lola, and she seemed happy and tired when I got home which is always a good sign. I’d definitely recommend him.

Charles was great! This is the first time I booked him on Rover but he’s been walking my dog for years. Always on time, super friendly, and truly cares for my dog! My dog is always excited to see him and comes back happy and tired. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a quality dog walker!

Charles is very responsible and attentive, always making sure my pup had a great time. He communicates well throughout the entire process and sent me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. Samantha always comes back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! Thank you so much!

Charlie was great with my dog. I struggle to walk her on my own as she pulls me, so Charlie was able to give her a nice 1 mile 30 minute walk. Will definitely book again! Thanks!!
