Experienced with ALL types of dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Charlotte! I have grown up absolutely loving animals, but especially dogs. I have had dogs my whole life, and worked at an animal shelter for several years where I got to experience being around all types of dogs and a variety of temperaments. I was a dog walker, a foster parent, a kennel technician, and an adoption counselor at the dog shelter. I live with my 5 year old Doberman who is just as much of a dog enthusiast as I am. She has always been good with other dogs, but I had a dog (for 9 years) who was extremely leash reactive and dog selective which allowed me to learn a lot about dog behavior, and how to handle a reactive large breed dog. It took a lot of time, but it gave me a lot of experience. Finding someone to watch her was extremely challenging and anxiety inducing, so I want other owners to know that I understand that challenge and will do everything I can to learn about and mind your dogs specific triggers/needs. When we aren’t petsitting, I take my dog Salem to the park so she can be her normal social butterfly self. She and I are very excited to have your dog come stay with us for a play date or extended playdate! Your dog will get lots of walks, runs (if allowed), playtime with my dog (if that is okay), and constant snuggles. :)

Was great with Ryder! He was plenty tired at the end of the day and didn’t want to leave. Charlotte was great, highly recommend.

Charlotte was wonderful. Super flexible with my travel schedule. Cisco loved running with her and was very comfortable and happy in her home.

Charlotte was the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! The dogs were tired out and happy and they love her! We never worry when she’s watching them!

Charlotte is the only person I trust to watch my dogs! They were well cared for, had a great time, and I don’t have to worry about them while I’m away!

Information Charlotte B. would like to know about your pet

I require that all owners tell me the following: -resource guarding (dog growls/bites/barks around food, toys, personal space, other dogs etc) -dog is leash reactive (dog barks or lunges at other dogs, people, bikes while on leash) -please tell me your dog’s fears, if there are any. By knowing these facts about your dog, I can make sure a.) the booking will be a good fit. And b.) that I can actively avoid or prepare for anything that might make your dog uncomfortable. The more information the better, so send whatever is relevant in your day to day with your dog!

A typical day

I live in Ukranian village, so I normally walk my dog and your dog around my neighborhood. I am also very open to taking the dogs to Humboldt park and walking them around the park, or booking a sniffspot park to allow them to explore off leash together. The typical day depends on what you are comfortable with and what your dog is comfortable with!

I currently work from home on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I can take breaks throughout the day to take the dogs for a walk. I work from the office on Mondays and Tuesdays, therefore I am not able to give the same level of care and attention I would give Wednesday-Sunday. I would prefer to only board dogs Wednesday-Sunday to ensure multiple potty breaks/walks throughout the day.
