Pet care experience

WFH - veteran - calm, experienced

Medical & Special-Needs Care I'm comfortable administering various types of medical care including oral medications, injections (such as insulin), and managing senior, recovering, or anxious pets. I understand the importance of careful observation, consistent routines, and timely communication with homeowners about any concerns. Training & Behavior With experience in dog and puppy training, I provide consistent reinforcement of commands, boundaries, and leash manners. I respect the training methods you've established and maintain the structure your pets need. Farm & Livestock Care I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, and similar farm animals, including daily feeding, cleaning, and barn routines. I'm well-suited for rural properties or mixed residential/farm settings where animals require knowledgeable, capable care.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm not house sitting for vacation or social purposes. I'm a dedicated professional seeking a quiet, well-maintained home where I can work productively while providing excellent care to your pets and property. What sets me apart is being the "adult in the room" — someone who respects routines, follows instructions carefully, and treats your home with the same care I'd give my own. What homeowners appreciate: • Military veteran background with ingrained sense of responsibility • Quiet, structured lifestyle with no parties or guests • Detail-oriented with careful attention to your specific instructions • Security-minded approach to home protection • Mature judgment and calm demeanor

Charles has watched our pets several times before over the years, and always does a great job! We have four dogs (all of various ages), and a cat. He always respects any rules we have in place (kenneling, furniture, treats, etc.) and our pets all enjoy him. One of our dogs in the past has tried to escape when we are on trips, but he doesn’t do that when Charles watches them. I would recommend him to anyone needing care!

Hi! I'm Chip - a U.S. military veteran and senior remote professional who works from home full-time. That means consistent companionship for your pets and a safely occupied, well cared-for home. My style is calm, structured, and detail-oriented: I follow your routine closely and I communicate clearly.
