Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pup's new best friend.
Since I was a kid, I always loved interacting with and caring for animals from dogs and cats to fish and snakes to spiders and more, I love them all. I was not allowed to have dogs when I was younger but I am making up for lost time in my adulthood. We currently have 1 senior dog, 1 senior cat and two younger dogs, as well as a 10 gallon community tank. I have a vehicle and can travel in the greater Portland metro area. I do not use any aversive training or reinforcement. 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 high energy dogs. I will follow your lead on the level of structure, rules, freedom, play, and training for your dogs. If staying in your home, I will leave as small a trace as possible and wash bedding before I leave.

Ratings and reviews
Charlie is the best! Always so good with our dog and so patient to get to know her. We have booked with Charlie several times and it is always great to:)
Charlie is wonderful. He has cared for our little zoo very well. Highly recommend.
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.
Charlie babysat my pups at the hotel when I visited Eugene for a late concert. He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, as well as being soft and kind with my babies. I would definitely recommend and rebook when I'm in the area again!
Charlie is the best! Always helps us out when we are in a pinch and is so great with our pup Violet ☺️

- 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?
- These prices are for 1 dog.
