Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just something I do, it’s something I love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet I care for, whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, or overnight stay. I'm available for: 🕘 afternoon, and evening visits 🌙 Overnight stays and extended care 📅 Weekdays & weekends – I’m open most days and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, I make sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine while they’re in my care!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment for their pets. I stick to your routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so your pet feels safe and stress-free while you're away.

Information Charles J. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn everything that helps me give them the best experience possible! Here’s what I always like to know: 🐾 Routines – Feeding times, walk schedules, and bedtime habits 🐾 Personality – Are they shy, playful, energetic, or cuddly? 🐾 Triggers or fears – Loud noises, other dogs, strangers, etc. 🐾 Health needs – Medications, allergies, or mobility issues 🐾 Training – Any commands they know or are working on 🐾 Other pets in the home – So I can help everyone feel comfortable The more I know, the better I can care for your pet like they’re my own. Feel free to share any quirks—they’re all part of what makes your pet special!

A typical day

Every pet has their own routine—and I love making their day special! A typical day starts with lots of morning love: breakfast, potty time, and some fresh air. If your pet loves walks, we’ll explore the neighborhood or hit a favorite trail (with plenty of sniff breaks, of course!). Midday is perfect for playtime, cuddles, or just hanging out together. Whether your pup loves fetch, tug-of-war, or belly rubs, I match their energy and needs. For senior pets, I offer slow strolls, gentle care, and relaxing companionship. In the evening, I stick to your usual feeding and bedtime routines to keep everything familiar and stress-free. And throughout the day, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal? To make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved like you never left!

🐾 Where Pets Feel at Home—Even Whe

Pet care experience

With over 2 years of hands-on experience through BOCES in animal science and direct pet care, I’ve built a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and handling. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats to small animals and farm animals—and I apply that knowledge to every pet I care for. What sets me apart: 🐾 2 Years of BOCES Animal Science Training – Gained in-depth knowledge of animal care, grooming, nutrition, and behavior through a structured, hands-on program. 🐾 Puppy Training Basics – Experienced in house-training, crate-training, and teaching simple commands using positive reinforcement. 🐾 Senior Pet Care – Comfortable administering oral medications, assisting with mobility, and giving extra patience to older pets. 🐾 Pet CPR & First Aid Certified – I’m trained to handle emergency situations calmly and confidently. 🐾 Farm & Large Animal Experience – Confident caring for goats, pigs, horses, and more, including feeding, mucking, grooming, and turnout. 🐾 Personalized Pet Attention – I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, helping them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Thanks to my BOCES background and real-world experience, I bring both knowledge and heart to every pet sitting job I take on.
