Experienced and caring animal lover
Pet care experience
As a former Dog Day Camp Director, I have developed invaluable insights into dog behavior, group dynamics, and individualized play, ensuring every pet in my care receives appropriate physical and mental stimulation. This background, combined with extensive experience in animal medication administration and caring for special needs pets, allows me to confidently manage animal health concerns and provide compassionate support for animals with unique challenges. I have experience in senior pet care, understanding the patience and specialized attention older animals need, as well as working with puppies, focusing on positive reinforcement. From high-energy group supervision to one-on-one medical care, I have a wide range of experience. I love all animals and look forward to meeting your fur family members as well.
Reviews
Charles is an outstanding pet owner and dog trainer. He has helped us with our dog and with just a few short lessons, our Jessie is safer on walks because she listens better to our commands. Charles is positive, kind and calm. He is the perfect pack leader for your dog and a loving caretaker for your cat. I would trust him completely with my beloved four legged babies.
Charles F. is awesome with my standard poodle! In a few short walks and visits he has taught us both several commands, we are happier!
Charles has a caring heart for all animals. He is very flexible and will work with you no matter what you need! He can take care of your pet no matter what it needs, whether just a simple walk or give medications! Very responsible!! He shows his true love for animals by volunteering his extra time to a local shelter.
Charles F. is amazing with dogs and would be an excellent sitter/walker! He has taken care of my dogs on many occasions. He is very knowledgeable with dog behaviors and can administer medication if necessary. Charles F. volunteers at a local dog rescue and has a natural caregiving personality. He is flexible and hardworking and loves all pets!
About Charles F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is paramount, meaning constant vigilance for hazards in clients' homes and on walks, meticulous leash checks, and strict adherence to routines and emergency protocols. I build trust with pets through consistent, positive interactions and with owners via transparent communication, regular updates, and treating their home with the utmost respect. My commitment to these principles ensures a secure, reliable, and respectful pet care experience for both pets and their owners.
Information Charles F. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for any pet, I prioritize gathering essential information. This includes their health details (medications, allergies, emergency signs, etc.) behavior and temperament (socialization, fears, leash manners, commands), and their established daily routine (feeding times, walk schedules, favorite activities). I also note any specific home rules or preferences to ensure a safe, comfortable, and consistent experience for the pet and peace of mind for the owner.
A typical day
Castlewood and Meramec Greenway are some of our favorites to go for walks. I also have a long lead for a sense of freedom in short ball throw sessions, while still being able to maintain positive control in an open environments.

As a full-time pet sitter, my entire day revolves around the well-being of the animals in my care. This means my mornings start with feeding, walks, and playtime. My afternoons are filled with check-ins, medication administration, and dedicated companionship. Evenings often involve final feedings and ensuring every pet is settled and comfortable. Essentially, my "daily routine" is a dynamic schedule dictated by the unique needs of each furry client, making pet care seamlessly integrated into every hour of my working day.
