I specialize in Challenging dogs

Pet care experience

I can walk any dog but I like the hard to handle types that most people avoid. I have two large powerful breeds of my own and appreciate helping people who have a hard time finding someone suitable to handle large or aggressive breeds. I prefer the “ruff” crowd but I take on all comers.

Charlie is by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever found. It was amazing to see our dog so happy and relaxed in a completely new environment, and we were so impressed with the level of care and consideration that Charlie was able to offer for our dog’s specific needs. He is immensely capable and offers the dogs so much incredible activity, compassion, and guidance. We received consistent pictures and updates, communication was clear and consistent, and logistics were flexible and easy. If your dog loves being outside on hiking trails, playing with other dogs, and relaxing in a quiet environment, you’ll be so glad you brought them to stay with Charlie.

We definitely will continue to use. Charlie’s services and recommend his services to any dog parent.
