Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Flexible Sitter :)
I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years, from younger, energetic dogs to senior dogs who need extra attention and regular medication. I’ve also done overnight stays for up to a week at a time, so I’m very comfortable staying in a pet’s home and maintaining their normal routine while their owners are away. I have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once, following detailed feeding and care instructions, administering medication, and accommodating special routines or needs. I also love keeping owners updated while they’re away! I’m happy to send regular photos and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and know they’re happy and comfortable. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to details like feeding times, medications, walks, playtime, and any specific preferences or needs the pet has. I like spending quality time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, going on walks, and keeping them company so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m naturally very organized and enjoy keeping things clean and tidy, so I’m also respectful of the home I’m staying in. I make sure to clean up after myself and the pets and leave the house in great condition.
Ratings and reviews
We feel so lucky to have Charlie to help with our dogs! From the beginning, she has been incredibly kind, dependable and genuinely caring. She doesn't just "walk the dogs" or watch them-she really gets to know them and treats them like they are her own. Our dogs absolutely love Charlie, which says a lot! It makes such a difference knowing they're happy, comfortable and getting lots of love and attention when we're not there. We also completely trust her in our home, which gives us so much peace of mind whenever we're away. Charlie is reliable, communicative, and just an all-around great person!
Charlie has watched our fur baby several times. Our girl has an extensive medication list, so for us it is important that we have someone that we trust to give her all her meds, in addition to good care. Charlie always does a wonderful job. We even get cute text updates along the way!
Charlie has cared for my dog Lucy for several years. She house sits when we are out of town and managed Lucy’s complicated medical conditions which include an auto immune disease and cancer. Administering Lucy’s medicines on schedule is critical to her health, and Charlie does this flawlessly. There are very few people I trust with Lucy, but I can’t recommend Charlie highly enough. I always know Lucy will be safe and happy when Charlie comes over

Schedule
I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m primarily doing pet sitting and babysitting. Because I don’t have a schedule that requires me to be away for long periods, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m flexible with overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, and I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual needs. I really enjoy being able to spend quality time with the pets I care for.

- I'd love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel comfortable and safe, including things about their personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and any fears or behavioral quirks. Please let me know about any special needs or instructions ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible!
