Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to keep your animals safely fenced and behind closed doors, and carefully on leash when with me on walks! I’m also careful to keep danger foods and items they can get into like medications put away where they can’t get to them. Making sure your animal has constant access to clean water, their food and meds as appropriate and their safety in the home and when we’re out on walks is of utmost importance to me, as is making sure I’m a comforting fun presence for them for walks, visits or sitting, especially if you’re out of town!

Information Charlie C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any medical or special needs and I definitely appreciate knowing all about their behaviors, likes, dislikes and personalities!

A typical day

I like providing your best friend with enough exercise, stimulation and routine to keep them feeling confident when they’re with me! I’ll make sure to give them snuggles and loving too.

Pet care experience

I started walking dogs and dog and cat sitting when I was 14, and these last 5 years worked at a dog daycare where I applied positive reinforcement and learned about how dogs learn and understand things. I also learned how to trim nails and administer oral, topical and dropper method medications, and I have experience with administering intramuscular injections. I’m also a lifelong pet owner with two cats and a dog of my own who are all best friends!

Charlie was great with our cats and reliable. It made it easy to enjoy our vacation for two weeks knowing our cats were well taken care of and cared for. Also appreciated the detailed updates with photos that made us feel even more at ease! Great sitter and highly recommend!

Charlie took excellent care of my pitbull and my cat! My dog is quite high energy and enthusiastic, so I really appreciate that Charlie was comfortable handling her. I loved getting picture updates and Charlie was great about communication! My house was left in great condition and my pets were super happy. I hope to hire Charlie again!
