My Best Friends Are Dogs

Pet care experience

I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long.

Charlie cared for three of my pups over the years. When my dog, Spike, got older, Charlie had no problem giving oral meds and helping Spike with his mobility issues. He provides a caring home with plenty of stimulation for the pups in his care. Your dog is sure to love their stay with Charlie!

Charlie Krank is an experienced pet owner. He has had a wide variety of dogs from small poodles to large Danes. He has managed several medically complicated dogs. He loves animals, and is forever striking up conversations with dogs and their owners he encounters. He will lovingly take care of your pet.

We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.
