Availability
I work full-time Monday to Friday in Basingstoke and live in Newbury, with occasional days in Reading, so I can cover a wide area for pet care. I’m mainly available for weekend stays and evening visits during the week for feeding, playtime, and cuddles. For weekday stays, I’m out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM (dependant on the location) but your pets will always get plenty of love before and after! I also offer dog walks in the Basingstoke area on weekdays, as that’s where I work (9:30–5:30). I do my best to follow each pet’s routine and keep things as comfortable and consistent as possible!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pets safety will always be my top priority. At home, my own cat is kept safe with a magnetic tag cat flap that only opens for her, and our garden is fully fenced to prevent any escapes. After discovering gap under the bush where animals could slip through to the neighbours, we quickly secured it with chicken wire - problem solved! I believe in creating a calm and secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow consistent routines, maintain a healthy diet for my own pets, and always use positive reinforcement - praise and the occasional treat - for good behaviour. You can trust that your furry friend will be in a safe and loving space while you are away.

Information Charlie B. would like to know about your pet
Meet & Greets I always recommend a meet & greet before the first booking to make sure everyone feels comfortable. It’s a great chance to go over routines, preferences, and any special instructions. Pet Routines & Needs The more I know about your pet, the better! Please let me know about their feeding schedule, medical needs, quirks, triggers, and favourite toys or activities. I’m happy to follow specific routines to help your pet feel secure. Home Environment If I’m staying in your home, I will always respect your space, keep things clean and tidy, and update you regularly. If your pet is staying with me, please note I have a 16-year-old cat who is gentle and used to other animals and a 9 year old jack Russel, so I will only take in dogs who are calm or cat-friendly. Availability I work full-time Monday to Friday, so if your booking is during the week, I’ll be out between 8:30 AM and 6:30 PM. Outside of those hours and on weekends, your pet will get my full attention. Communication I love sending photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing—expect regular check-ins and happy faces!
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your dog happy, active, and feeling loved! I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level and personality—whether that means a long walk and playtime in the garden, or a slower-paced sniff-around and cuddle session for older or more relaxed pups. I love getting out for fresh air and exercise, and I always make time for games like fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to keep them mentally stimulated too. There’s also plenty of downtime for belly rubs, treats (with permission!), and just hanging out together. I aim to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have my own dog of 7 years and a sweet 16-year-old cat, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Alongside caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after a wide variety of animals for friends, family, and clients through Rover—ranging from playful Chihuahuas to energetic Staffys, and everything in between! I’ve gained valuable experience looking after multiple pets at a time and have received excellent reviews for my reliable, friendly, and caring approach. Animals genuinely bring me joy, and I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. I treat every pet as if they are my own.

Reviews
Friendly and kept us updated. Tidied up before left which was so kind. All animals very relaxed when we returned so clearly had a good time which was great. Would definitely use again thanks charlie x
We had such a great experience with our overnight dog sitter! From the start, they were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were their own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. When we came home, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Our home was also left clean and tidy. We would absolutely trust them to watch our dogs again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable pet sitter.
Bonnie really enjoyed Charlie’s company and was in good spirits when we returned home. Charlie was very helpful with all of Bonnie’s needs and it was easy to organise the details with Charlie as she was punctual with her responses when we were organising the care date. We would love to have Charlie again!
Great communication and Wilson adored Charlie, would definitely book walking again
