Information Charlie R. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate getting as much information on your pet's personality and what they like to do if they get bored or to keep them preoccupied so I may prepare and adjust if need be.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs outside to get some fresh air and play fetch if they enjoy that. I prefer to take them to an open field that is closed within a fence so they can be off leash and play (of course if that is okay with owner). I also love to snuggle with them inside.

Pet care experience

I was raised on what some would call a farm, taking care of chickens, ducks, pigs, 3 cats and 4 dogs. Since I was little, I was taking care of cats and dogs from the puppy stages to to senior years. Currently I have 2 dogs, one is 6 y/o and the other is 1.5, both trained since they were puppies. Growing up I would take care of the neighbors animals and that expanded to friends within the area.

We recently had Charlie stay with our dog, Autumn, while we were on vacation, and she was fantastic. Autumn is high energy, and Charlie kept her active all day with walks and play. A neighbor even ran into them on a walk (their dog is one of Autumn’s friends) and told us afterward how nice Charlie was. Charlie also sent frequent photo updates and communicated with us consistently, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely use Charlie again.

Charlie is the absolute best!!! We needed a sitter last minute for a family trip that was a week long in a far away state and she was nothing but amazing for our pup!! I feel like it can be hard to come across someone that you trust watching your dog with no prior visits, but as soon as we met Charlie prior to the stay we immediately knew how caring and loving she is! Our dog is super high energy so she made sure he got many long walks per day, along with feeding times on schedule & just pure kindness & love towards him! She would continue to update us multiple times per day with pictures and comments on how he’s doing! Charlie responds super quick and it was incredibly obvious that our dog Trip adored her. 1000/10 recommend :)

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.
