Highlights
Pet care experience
Young Professional Who Loves Pets!
I'm an Oakland-based designer who's always happy to open my home to more furry friends! I have extensive experience in animal care, including working for a local vet as well as in the Live Animal Center at Boston's Museum of Science. I am comfortable with a variety of animals and understand that each and every pet has their own specific needs. I have raised several rescue dogs & cats and understand the challenges that often come with these transitions. I have been working as a part-time dog walker & cat sitter for the past three years and have worked with extremely skittish dogs, as well as those with aggression issues. All dogs and all pets will find a welcoming home with me. I work primarily from home during the week and have a flexible schedule.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will adhere to your pet's typical routine (feeding schedule, medication administration, exercise & playtime routines) to help them feel as comfortable as possible while they are in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Charlotte did an amazing job with our cat Ginger during our time away. Very clear and quick communication about anything we needed to know and she was sooo great with our little cat Ginger. Ginger is very needy and she clearly got all the attention she deserves when Charlotte would visit. We even need to come pet her in the living room now because well, that’s how Charlotte did it! Very grateful for her expertise and true passion for animals and will absolutely rebook if we are heading out of town again!
Charlotte accommodated a last minute request. She was flexible with scheduling, had good communication, and took good care of my cat. Would highly recommend
I was happy to hire Charlotte again!! She is very conscientious, kind and caring. I loved the daily messages and photos of my kitties! I will hire her again.
Charlotte is a wonderful pet sitter!! She was communicative, responsible, and very thoughtful in taking care of my cat. It was supposed to be hotter than I expected while I was away, and she was great about checking in and offering to help keep my apartment cool for my cat's comfort. He also was so happy to get some lap time and company with her! She's awesome and reliable, and I will absolutely be booking her again for future sitting needs.
Charlotte took wonderful care of my two, fifteen-year old kitties! I highly recommend her for her professionalism and her gentle, loving care of my cats! I will hire her again!
Charlotte was great! She was super conscientious and responsive regarding my concerns and questions, and sent one or more photos or videos every day with comments. I think what I appreciated most is that she let Chewy, a very nervous cat with just about everyone except me, just be herself, without trying to be her friend or psychoanalyze her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for Chewy in the future.
