Pet care experience
Companionship to Ease Pet Stress
While living in Beijing, China, my wife and I raised two Mini Schnauzers from pups to become loving and loyal members of our family unit. This included regularly scheduled walks to accommodate our working hours and took into consideration the dogs' needs. One of the dogs developed diabetes and required insulin shots with the morning and evening meals. Both dogs received a great deal of attention beyond just the walking. This included regular at-home 'fun times' with toys, including hide-and-seek. Weather-appropriate trips to the park were taken whenever time allowed. Both TJ and Toby were treated as well as children, concerning the attention they received and the healthy snacks that we provided at the dinner table.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At present, I am more interested in coming to your home to dog sit or walk/play with your dog as opposed to dog sitting at my residence. I would follow directions carefully with the duration of walks and the route of walks. Any type of behavior recommendations (e.g., keep the dog away from other people or other dogs) would be strictly followed. All dietary instructions would be strictly followed. Most of all, the pet will be treated with compassion, patience, respect, and understanding.
Ratings and reviews
As parents , we were late in giving our kids a dog. Our adopted dog, Lucy, a beautiful Dalmation, took over our boys hearts and became part of the family. Chuck was a loving car giver to her but also his 2 dogs when he was teaching in China. Before receiving his PhD he had thought seriously of becoming a vet. He had a job at Lake STREET ANIMAL CLINIC AND BOARDING.
I worked with Charles for several years and always knew him to be responsible and dependable. He has also had Schnauzers over the years, and from what I have seen, he has always been a caring and responsible dog owner. I would definitely trust him to take good care of someone else’s pet.
Charles is great with my dog Duke. He is caring, responsible, patient, and someone I completely trust with him. Duke is always happy and comfortable around Charles, and it’s clear he genuinely loves dogs. I would absolutely recommend Charles to anyone looking for someone dependable to care for their pet.
Charles is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know. He loves animals and always treats them with kindness and respect. He’s patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with — perfect qualities for a great sitter or dog walker. Any pet would be in good hands with him!

Schedule
At present, my work schedule is very flexible with a remote occupation. Working remotely leaves a great deal of opportunities to be available on a regular basis. I am normally up rather early (by 6 am) for a morning workout out and the rest of the day I am working on various certifications and work requirements that are scheduled depending on my goals for that particular day.
