Pet care experience
Hello and welcome! Part time pet sitter, full time animal lover, at your service! . . . 👀 🔍 see me work 📍 @PAWSITIVEVIBESONLY . . . 💥PRICING DISCLAIMER FOR DOGGOS💥 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ 🤔 IS YOUR DOG LOW NEEDS? Read below • For a dog that has little to no behavioral issues, meaning I can take them almost anywhere without cause for concern (i.e. dog parks or trails) or dogs that need very little hands on care. They would be considered low needs. Rates for low needs are as is on my services list. • With low needs dogs, my care focuses on finding outdoor activities and adventures that become core memories. My goal is for them to have experiences they won’t have at a doggy hotel. My passion is the outdoors, and I would love to provide your fur baby with new experiences that they don’t get to participate in all the time, ranging from 10+ mile hikes to local city strolls. I will be mindful of their activity tolerance, and we can discuss their preferences and limitations during our meet and greet. . . . . 🤔 IS YOUR DOG HIGH NEEDS? Read below • I receive a high volume of requests for fur angels that need additional training or caregiver experience. • My rate for high needs dogs ranges $100- $125 for housesitting. The rates reflects the additional effort and energy it requires to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dogs who experience: emotional distress from separation, resource protection, intense leash pulling, or reactivity toward other animals. • Since I receive many requests for dogs that need 24/7 care, I like to be actively involved with tending to their needs. These stays tend to to lean toward working on basic behavior corrections, such as leash pulling and barking / reactivity indoors and on walks. • While I am not a professional dog trainer, I am a dedicated animal caretaker and I take each dogs needs seriously. • I am open to discussing RATE ADJUSTMENTS based on your dogs behavior and their care requirements. . . . 👋🏽 MEET AND GREETS ARE ARE A REQUIREMENT FOR ALL DOG REQUESTS 🥹 . . . 😀 Great now that we’ve addressed those important details, please take a look below to learn a little more what I have to offer and who I am! . . ✨ A B O U T M E ✨ ⭐️ 10 years of experience of caring for precious fur babies. Mostly tending to cats and dogs, but I have looked after a rabbit on a rare occasion or two. ⭐️ Currently, I have a super flexible schedule and work from home as a vintage Etsy seller and content creator for a photographer. May sound like a lot, BUT I actually have a lot of freedom to do multiple walks a day (2-4 depending on needs), plus weekend hikes somewhere amongst nature or an extra long stroll around town. ⭐️ I recently moved back from NYC to spend time with my mom, who also helps with my animal care taking requests by joining us on pet friendly trails. ⭐️ My caretaking approach is intuitive. I like to allow space for your fur baby to warm up to me if they tend to be on the more shy/reserved side of the personality spectrum. ⭐️ My priority is ensuring a safe and caring environment. I do this by keeping a close eye on their overall mood and offering attention or breathing room depending on how they engage and respond to my presence or the space(s) we occupy. ⭐️ I’m no stranger to senior animals, administering medications, and dogs who avoid happy hour at the dog parks lol. This level of care is something I feel comfortable taking on in most cases. I encourage you to reach out, I’m happy to answer any and all questions you might have! . . . 📆 DATE DISCLAIMER 📌 • I am only available for a minimum of 4 nights for house sitting and boarding requests for new clients. Once I've established a connection and clear understanding of their needs via a long stay, I am open to shorter / one off requests such as 1-2 nights or half days. Thank you fur reading! . . . . . . 😳 T L D R 😅
Reviews
Charlii is fearless, loving and proactive -- all the things I've been looking for in a dog sitter because I have a complicated bunch to deal with! Not only was she up to watching my three chihuahua mutts who all have their own particularities and fears, she was very much willing to learn how to express my special needs dog's bladder. To top it off, I was completely freaking out right before we left because our dogs somehow all got a case of diarrhea. Charlii was so communicative with me the whole time with updates who ate what (everyone was on rice and pumpkin) and even how the poop formations were coming along (were they solid now? how frequent is it?). Charlii uploaded lots of pics and videos of fun things she was doing with my dogs and gave me a really good idea of everyone's day-to-day. I was impressed with Charlii's proactiveness in nursing my sick dogs and patience with their fears and anxieties. She had no qualms about my special needs' bowel and bladder issues. On our return our house was kept clean, dishes and blankets had been washed, trash taken out. Working with Charlii was such a great experience and as an anxious fur mom I'm finally able to look forward to going on my next trip knowing the pups will be in great hands.
I cannot recommend Charlii enough. She was communicative, thoughtful, and most importantly, incredibly patient and caring with our pup!
Charlii is Simply the best! Our kitty was not feeling great right before we left and she made us feel so at ease. She gave regular updates on her as well as adhearing to A specific diet to help with the cats digestion. She helped monitor how much she was drinking and going to the bathroom, which was essential and again, a welcome sigh of relief!
Charlii is great - our dog Finn adores her, and rightly so, because she takes him everywhere and they see the world together. She's excellent!
