Pet care experience
Dog Lover
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.

Ratings and reviews
Charles was wonderful with Bear and Luna! This was actually my first time leaving my pups home alone for the entire day, so I was a little worried about them. Charles made the whole experience so much easier and gave me great peace of mind. He stopped by twice—once in the morning and again in the evening—to feed them, give them potty breaks, and make sure they had plenty of fresh water. He also sent me pictures during his visits, which I absolutely loved. Being able to see Bear and Luna happy and doing well really helped put my mind at ease. Charles is also very responsive and easy to communicate with, which I especially appreciated since I was a bit of a nervous dog mom this time around! Bear and Luna are both fairly big dogs, and I felt completely comfortable having Charles care for them. He was dependable, attentive, and made sure they had everything they needed. I’m so happy with the care he provided and will absolutely book Charles again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pups!
Wow my Dog came back to me so! so! much chilled you could tell he wanted to stay he Loved the attention he was getting. Thanks!
Charles was so wonderful with my 2 dogs. I got happy pictures often and was not worried at all while I was away for a weekend.
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! 🐾

With my hybrid work schedule and my home being in close proximity of my job, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pet.

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! 🐾
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.
