Reviews
Charley is professional, smart, pleasant, trustworthy, and responsive. Our cats took to Charley very well and while we were in Europe, we knew that they were well taken care of. If anything came up, Charley contacted us, and also sent us pictures of them. After we came back, I'm not sure our cats wanted to see us--they prefer Charley.:) I can tell that our cats were happy and content when we returned and that is because Charley took such good care of them.
Charley was immediately very comfortable with our dog, who tends to dislike strangers and can be leash aggressive. She was very warm and caring with our dog with each dog walk and visit. She was responsive in her communication and overall a responsible dog walker. We will definitely seek out her help again.
Since an early age Charley has loved and advocated for all animals. From the baby squirrels who fell out of their nest (we had to call Cornell Vet school at Charley's behest), to stopping on our bike rides to take turtles off the road, to every other animal Charley comes in contact with. This includes birds, snakes, salamanders, cats, dogs, and every farm animal out there. On a more personal note, Charley has always taken an active role with our dogs. Feeding them, taking them out into the fresh air, getting them exercise. All on a voluntary basis. Charley dog sits our 3 puppies regularly, as we are often out of town. Rover matches with many of Charley's strengths. Not only Charley's love of animals, but also Charley's desire to help our community. Starting in high school Charley has worked with many non-profit organizations; locally, nationally and internationally. I highly recommend Charley for Rover, it is a perfect fit. I can't wait to hear all the wonderful stories that come out of this endeavor.
I have been with Charley as she has interacted with 6 different dogs through the years. She has never shown any less than 100% care and true love for the animals. She is gentle and attentive and carries on quite an interesting conversation with each and every one of them. I've known Charley for most of her life and will never forget, when she was a 7 to 10 years of age, how she would rescue small nature animals and put them in the family shed to nurse them, feed them and love them back to health. She is a natural with animals! She would be amazing as a pet sitter.

I have several years of experience taking care of pets including working at a clinic as a receptionist and vet assistant so your furry friends will be safe and you can be assured they are getting top-notch care.
Information Charley R. would like to know about your pet
It’s important to me to know what your dog’s favorite games and toys are. Bonding with your dog is #1 so they trust me and we have a good time together. I also want to know their limitations and if there’s anything that they don’t enjoy so we can make sure to avoid it! Any other special needs as well whether they’re allergies, food restrictions, etc.
A typical day
While currently I won’t have dogs staying with me, if I’m staying in your home I will make sure your furry friend is happy and tired by the end of the day! I love running around outside with dogs and playing. I know tug-o-war is one of my dogs’ favorite games. I also love to get outside and explore (almost as much as dogs do!) so your pup will be able to get fresh air and spend some extra energy.

My name is Charley, I'm 30 years old and work full-time for a local nonprofit. I spend a lot of my days working with deadlines and wanted an opportunity that allows me to get out of the house and de-stress. Working with animals is the perfect way to do that!
