Dog mom and dog lover

Pet care experience

I am a recently single, previous stay at home mom. I have also always (30 years now) done flower design, and have my own small business in floral design and flower farming at my home in beautiful mound, near lake minnetonka. I have had cats, birds of many species, guinea pigs (I LOVE THEM!),and grew up riding horses, but never owned one. and of course, multiple dogs of different breeds. I currently have a cavalier king charles and husky. Talk about two different breeds! The husky is a rescue, and has definitely challenged me, but he was a labor of love as a dog. he is getting up in age, but he still needs his daily walk, "talks" a LOT (especially to me), and is a big sweet goofball. The cavalier is a typical cavalier-all he wants is his mommas love and snuggles. He is the best dog, wants to make me happy, and is submissive, but not annoyingly so. Mornings, the boys get a walk right away. Then I typically work in the gardens cutting and weeding, and then I do any flower deliveries I need to do. By about noon, I come back home for snuggles with the dogs. It occurred to me that I should probably just add some more fur kids to my life! My 22 year old daughter is currently home due to covid, but typically resides in San Francisco with her boyfriend. She has done Rover sitting in SF, as well! That got me to think about it for myself, actually. To cut to the chase, your dogs would be loved like my very own, and I have been through a lot of different types of dog personalities, have trained two of my (previous) boys for therapy work at the hospital and hospice care, and would take great care of your fur babies while you are away. I just simply LOVE dogs. All animals, really, but dogs most especially. When I am with my daughter, she often has to tell me when she sees a dog ahead, that we don't have time to stop and chat, as I am likely to do so, even if time is not permitting!

Our dogs got along great at Charlie’s. Her dog is very mellow and welcoming to other dogs and her large fenced yard gave our younger dog lots of room to romp and play. I would definitely book Charlie again!

Charlie is amazing! We met in advance of our stay to ensure our puppies would get along. It was the first time leaving our 8 month old puppy and she kept us updated with stories and pictures during our stay. Charlie even taught him some new tricks. We highly recommend Charlie. We knew our puppy was well taken care of while we were away.

Charlie was wonderful to our puppy! She stayed in contact with us, walked him multiple times per day, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our pup was well taken care of! We highly recommend Charlie!

Charlie is an awesome caregiver for dogs! She loves and treats every dog she meets like her own. She is so good about taking dogs on multiple walks everyday even in the heat, rain and cold. I would have no concerns having her care for my pets! Lori J.

I have a fenced yard, and a very mellow cavalier King Charles who is welcoming of all dogs, but isn’t a big romp and play kind of guy…he’s the sweetest. I can also go to your home and let your dogs out or walk them. I love to walk in any weather

Information Charlie B. would like to know about your pet

Any anxiety issues, or whatever else is a challenging thing to know about. I really love cavaliers, huskies, and shin tzu’s, i know them well, as i have had all of them.

A typical day

Walks every day without fail (if you want that. My dogs get one or two!). We walk the trail near my house, and i can also take them to swim if they’d like. I am a block from the beach. They will get lots of snuggles, and can even sleep with me!

I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and varies. I am home as much as possible. My cavalier is home in his kennel during the days I am working. Some weeks, I do wedding work for other florists, so I may not fit with my schedule, but we can figure out if it will!
