Pet care experience

Pets are people too

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 are so happy to have found Charlie! Our chocolate lab is full of energy and tends to pull on walks. After meeting Charlie and learning about her experience working with larger dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands. She kept us updated and even sent over photos of the visit. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

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 :)

Charlie was wonderful with our two dogs. She was communicative and did a great job keeping them company on our vacation! Many thanks to you Charlie :)

Safety, trust & environment

I am very adaptable for your wants and the pets needs for in my house and/or taking care of them while at your place. I am happy to take them on my runs with me, walk them a specific distance, or even take them to a park to play fetch.

Pets

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.
