Highlights
Pet care experience
Care from the porch to the park.
I’m calm, dependable, and respectful of every dog’s unique personality. I adapt to their pace and needs, offering gentle, consistent care and a reassuring presence. I grew up in South Africa with four dogs and a pet pig. In essence, I have experience with all kinds and sizes of dogs, including those that aren’t dogs but think they are! Then during Covid, and a bit longer afterwards, I was looking after a beautiful Norwegian forest cat, Charlie, who finally convinced me to renounce my stubborn dog only position. But in all seriousness, I am a deep animal lover, who can both childishly playful and empathetic towards animals depending on their needs at the time. Frankly, I am on here to bond with animals as I miss my own dearly.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a two floor maisonette right by the river Thames and a stones through from Barnes, Ravenscourt and Bishops park. I am always ready for walking and care.
Ratings and reviews
Charles is a complete dog lover and your dog will have lots of fun and burn off some energy playing games. You also get some lovely bonus photos with his great photography skills. He is very flexible and I would recommend him to anyone.
