Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I typically housesit/farm-sit, and I seek to adhere to the owners' standards. I am attentive to schedules, tasks & chores, and the pets' attention & affection needs. I keep a clean environment, and I make sure that the owner's home is in the same shape as when they left it.
Ratings and reviews
Charles is a super nice guy! I was going on a backpacking trip and was nervous about inviting someone I'd met over the internet into my house (so nervous, in fact, that I dragged my heels for months on finding a dog sitter), but after talking to Charles for almost two hours for our meet and greet, my nerves were quickly calmed. Charles seemed to be a perfect match my dog, Buddy, too - and as added bonus, I came home to a nice clean house!
Charles is the best! He took great care of my two dogs over a 9 day housesitting stay and came out best friends with both of them, including the shy one that takes time to warm up to new people. He left such thoughtful notes on how they did, made some really great judgement calls on the fly, and is just a great person to have around. I would absolutely book with him again.
Charles was great! He visited twice before the pet sitting to get Iris accustomed to him and then patiently let her warm up to him during his stay. He handled extra responsibilities like taking her to the vet for stitches removal and dealing with both cold, icy weather and frozen pipes with resilience and responsibly handling everything. I could tell Iris had been well cared for despite everything going on. He is calm, thoughtful and reliable. I was lucky to have him care for Iris.
Charles was fantastic. Great communication, easy to work with and Harriet enjoyed his company. Highly recommend, will hire again!
I had to go out of town for a few days and needed a boarding kennel for my 70lb lab. My kennel that I have used previously closed down operations so I needed to find someplace new. I couldn't find any place I liked so I started searching online for someone to care for my dog at their home. That is how I discovered Rover. I found Charles on Rover and rather than keeping my dog at his home he offered to come stay at my home. Which for me was the best possible outcome. It worked out great. Charles was very respectful of my home and my dog liked him. If I have to board my dog again, Charles will be my first choice. I highly recommend him.
Charles took great care of Gus for the night. Was very responsive when I reached out. He took Gus on a nice sniffing adventure and let Gus cuddle with him all night. next time I am in the area I will definitely be reaching out again.

Schedule
I am a self-employed designer/printer, so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable based on your/your pets' needs. I am also single, so I do not have any other prior commitments other than work, and I do not have any pets of my own, so your pet(s) will have my full attention.
