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 numerous dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog.

Charles took great care of our crazy boy Leo! He was also a very considerate guest and watched over our house while we were away.

Chuck was fantastic from the beginning through the whole experience. He was willing to come to our house twice to meet our dogs before staying with them. Our Golden Retriever was uncomplicated, but our American Akita is a bit more so. Chuck did fantastic with both of them. He kept in contact and sent pictures regularly. Superb!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
