Safety, trust & environment

Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover who understands how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. There are several safe, dog-friendly walking areas near my home, and I make safety my top priority on every walk. With my previous dogs, I walked them at least 30 minutes daily in secure environments, and I’m happy to match your dog’s usual routine — whether that means long walks, shorter potty breaks, playtime, or extra sniffing time. Keeping your pet on their regular schedule helps minimize stress and keeps them feeling comfortable while you’re away. When your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, they’ll be treated like family. I’m attentive to details and happy to follow specific instructions, including administering medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and of course — plenty of affection and cuddle time. I also believe communication is key! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾

Information Charles W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can assist with. I don’t have a preference regarding any particular breeds because I previously owned several of them with different needs.

A typical day

I will provide personalized care, including morning walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I had 3 senior dogs that required being walked several times per day, so that would not be a problem for me.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for 25+ years. I’m a lifelong dog lover with a lot of experience, including fostering. I work from home part-time and my job is on 10 minutes from my home. I ensure that your dog gets constant companionship and 3+ daily walks. I also have experience with administering oral medication.

Charles did a fantastic job caring for Zeus while he stayed at his home. From the moment I dropped Zeus off, I felt confident he was in good hands. Charles was kind, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. Zeus came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the great care and attention Charles provided, and I've already booked with him again! Highly recommended! 🐾
