We have a very anxious little dog who can be quite a handful. She also takes medication. Charlie stayed at our house with her for 4 days and he said she did just great. She was happy and healthy when we got home and the house was spotless. We would highly recommend Charlie for dogsitting and really hope he'll do it for us again so we can travel a bit more.

Charlie was great with Bella and very easy to coordinate with.

Charlie did a great job with our dog Maggie who is older and has specific care needs. Charlie was very responsive and trustworthy. Maggie was happy and healthy when we returned home and Charlie left our home in the same shape he found it. We will definitely use him again.

Charlie was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Bart and Dobby. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease - he’s kind, attentive, and clearly loves what he does. Our pups were happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for the entire time. Charlie kept us updated, communicated clearly, and treated our dogs like his own. We were so impressed that we immediately booked him again. We highly, highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely caring sitter. Bart and Dobby can’t wait to see him again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
