Reliable Care for Your Fur Babies!

Hi I'm Charles but you can call me Chuck :). I have owned multiple dogs and cats over 40 years, ranging from small (dachshunds) to large (labs and golden retrievers). I currently have an American Eskimo and 2 Maine Coons. I have cared for hundreds of dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors over decades. I am very experienced and have a flexible schedule. I know how much trust it takes to leave your VIP family member someone else’s care. That’s why I go above and beyond to make sure every pet I look after feels safe, loved, and happy—just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart Experience & Reliability: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Personalized Attention: I don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” pet care. I take the time to learn your dog’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they get care tailored just for them. Active & Engaging: Walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or just good belly rubs—I’ll make sure your pup gets the right mix of exercise and affection. Clear Communication: You’ll never be left wondering how your dog is doing. I send regular updates, photos, and notes so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Safety First: I treat every dog as if they were my own. From keeping water bowls full to monitoring for signs of stress, I’m attentive to every detail. Why Choose Me? When you book with me, your dog isn’t just being “watched”—they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals and understands how important they are to you. My goal is to make your time away stress-free, knowing your best friend is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I have a fenced yard, I leash walk to the local parks and I know where I can let my dog off leash to play safely and get exercise. I hike regularly in west Marin and always take my dog with me on trail. I will treat your dog as if they were my own. From keeping water bowls full to monitoring for signs of stress, I’m attentive to every detail.

Chuck was fantastic and went way above and beyond for me when he watched my cat. He was very responsive and kind and patient when I was worried. I can’t recommend him highly enough. There should be more than five stars available for someone as good as he was.

Chuck was great! Coming over at the last minute when I needed help. He was very good with my pup and she seemed to really like him too. Would definitely hire him again :)

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule. I hike with my dog daily and I care for cats and dogs of friends, family and neighbors on a regular basis. Pet care can include feeding, walking, exercise, play, and visits to vet and groomers. I work when you and your pets need me.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Charles can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has any special needs (eg. arthritis, hearing issues) or behavioral concerns (eg. anxious around other animals, pulls on the leash, etc)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
