I am in the process of changing careers, so am taking classes, which meet mostly online. Aside from the few hours a week when I volunteer to work with special-needs children in therapeutic horseback riding, my schedule is very flexible, including nights/weekends. Mornings? Evenings? Last minute? No problem.

Safety, trust & environment

I think of pets as family, and will treat your pet like my family. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!) As a horseback rider, I find the skills of working with our animal friends transfer easily. Regardless of species, they enjoy human attention/affection, engagement and are often much smarter than we give them credit for.

Information Charles H. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate most typical dog needs. Does your dog need more exercise than just a walk? Do you need me to administer meds at dinner time? Does your dog get anxious and does better with a more low-key visit? Just let me know your dog's needs and that's what your dog will get.

A typical day

What fun activities will I do with your dog? It depends on what your dog enjoys. Fetch? A long walk? Visit to a dog park? Tummy rubs?

Never met a dog I didn't love

Pet care experience

I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of various dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog, and now have taken care of numerous dogs in the year I’ve been on Rover. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog.

Charles has been absolutely amazing with our leash & stranger reactive dog Ollie. He has been patient and accommodating with us and now Ollie is excited to see him when they go on walks!

Chuck did a great job caring for our senior pup even giving him meds. He did a great job of providing updates on a regular basis too!
