Pet care experience

I grew up with 16 dogs

When I was 5 years old, I moved to Uganda where we were given 12 dogs to look after. Over the course of 4 years, they had puppies which as a young kid, I was very excited to raise. The dogs were mainly all German Shepherds. Once we moved back to England, we got a Staffie Cross who quickly became part of the family. I loved taking her for walks and keeping her entertained - she was a bundle of energy. I then moved onto to living with another Staffie and a lurcher, the lurcher being an old boy and needed lots of looking after. I have since looked after various people's pets (dogs, cats, chickens, bees) and I'm very comfortable with looking after people's homes. So in short, I have spent a lot of my life around dogs, I love the walking, playing and hanging out with them. I offer discounted rates as I believe loving dog care should be available to as many people as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I had two cats that I lived with for 2 years. We had a cat flap that the cats used very happily. Cats can get bored easily and so the outside stimulation keeps them engaged and happy, as well as playing a little game with them (hand under a rug etc). When looking after someone else's pets, I will make sure that the house is as tidy as it was when I found it.

Charlie helped me out last minute when I was looking for sitters. He was great at meeting up with me first to meet Blue and also drop him off at a friend’s house when he left. Thanks for your help 🙏

Very pleased with Charlie. He sent enough pictures during his stay so I knew he and Bear were getting on. He left the house very clean and tidy having stayed 2 nights. I would definitely use Charlie again.

Schedule

I am free anytime on everyday of the week. I usually like to do activities in the late morning but more than happy to accommodate what is needed of course! **I rely on public transport for getting around as I don't drive. Though every care is taken to arrive on specified times, please have a degree of flexibility with booking start times! However, I will always do the full amount of time that is booked and agreed upon, e.g if you have booked 2 hours of pet care, I will fulfill and document those 2 hours!**

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
Charlie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know as much as you can about what your pet's preferences are and what things should be done to accommodate them. Every pet is different and deserves to be treated with kindness and compassion.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
