Safety, trust & environment

I don’t board pets at my house. When I’m working, I stick closely to parent instructions & my professional experience. I pay attention to details, keep things clean, and make sure the pet is as safe, comfortable, and calm as possible while you’re away. I treat all pets how I would want my own treated.

Information Charles S. would like to know about your pet

I'll accommodate any pet of any size, shape, and temperament. I have experience with it all! If you love your pet - I will too!

A typical day

I love to get pups excited about life. I once had a booking with a family of 3 pups; I spent the entire visit, every day, playing fetch with one pup, tug with the second pup, and petting the third pup. Whatever it takes to keep the family happy!

Pet care experience

-Note: I need flexible scheduling for bookings. We can discuss why in advance- I have cared for cats & dogs, personally and professionally, my entire life. I’m a former lead kennel technician with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. I’m comfortable handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from high-energy puppies to senior pets with medical needs. I’m trained in medication administration, including pills, eye drops, and ear treatments for both cats and dogs. My focus is on reliable, consistent care without unnecessary fuss.

Charles S. did an absolutely wonderful job caring for my dogs, Boomer, Sarge, and Gunner during his seven days of drop-in visits. From the very beginning, it was clear that Charles is not only responsible but also truly loves animals. He went well above and beyond my expectations. He made sure the dogs were fed on time, kept their water bowls clean and full, and most importantly, spent quality time playing with them and giving them the attention they needed while I was away. Each visit was thorough and thoughtful, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such caring hands. I highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I'll definitely be booking him again in the future!

Charles was a fantastic pet sitter for us! He took great care of our dog and our cat while we were out of town. He met with us and them beforehand, and I was not worried at all to leave them in his care. He was also super flexible with us when we had some last minute time changes! We appreciated it so much. We would highly recommend Charles to take care of your pets.

I had the pleasure of working with Charles as a colleague and saw firsthand the care and compassion he brings to every animal. I’ve boarded my cat at his home multiple times—each experience was smooth, and comforting. My cat absolutely loves him!
