Safety, trust & environment

I offer a secure and nurturing environment for pets to thrive in, ensuring their safety is my top priority. I love building trust with the animals in my care. I proactively look out for their safety and well-being and your pets will be deeply cared for while I maintain their training. I can follow any instructions given to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog. I appreciate the trust placed in me when visiting in someone else's home. I am tidy and will leave your home in good condition. I am well-equipped to work with cats and dogs. I am vigilant on walks to make sure your dogs have the best experience. Trust me to prioritize the safety and security of your beloved pets, giving you the confidence to relax knowing they are in capable hands.

Information Charlie K. would like to know about your pet

I'm interested in learning about what's unique about your pet- any allergies, phobias, preferred methods of attention, or a favorite spot they go to to chill out? What established boundaries do you have? (furniture/counter surfing rules, etc.) What can I do to help keep your animal's training?

A typical day

Anything from cuddling on the couch and watching movies, to walks around the neighborhood and long games of fetch at the park, to an enthusiastic but respectful game of tug'o'war, I'll follow any instruction you give me to make sure your dog has the best time possible.

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals from fish to rabbits to elephants. As a kid, I begged my mom for a dog and we ended up with three cats. I have been very fortunate to have many more animals in my life since. I have always loved interacting with other peoples' animals and even animals that don't usually like other people seem to be drawn to me. I currently have a senior cat who is my everything. I will go above and beyond for your fur baby just like I do for mine and I also welcome the non-furry babies. I think snakes are amazing and welcome a variety of animals to take care of. I have experience giving pills and oral syringe medication to dogs and cats and have worked well with particularly rambunctious animals. I am strong and can handle large dogs. I will follow your lead on the level of structure, rules, freedom, play, and training for your dogs. If I am staying in your home I will leave as little of a trace as possible and will be honored with the trust to stay in your home. ~Booked through August~

Charlie was great! 2 pups under the age of 18 months is a handful. He sent tons of pics and updates on their shenanigans. Would definitely use him again.

Just finished our last walk with Charlie. We are sad to say bye. I broke my wrist so Charlie met me at the Dogpark once a week with my (2) 100 lb dobies. I couldn’t have exercised them without him through my recovery. What a lifesaver! Easy going, laid back, pleasant and easy to converse with. He was great with Hoot and Holler even though they aren’t great leash walkers. Highly recommend.
