Ready to give your pup lots of TLC!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs starting at a very young age, and started taking care of my family dog overnight as an adult. I currently house-sit regularly for my sister and brother-in-law's large dog, and occasionally for my cousin's small dog. I'm a freelancer, so I'm usually home during the day, though I sometimes go out for a couple of hours in the evenings after dinner. I work best with dogs that require little to moderate exercise, and I do not like running, but love giving and receiving TLC from four legged friends. My most recent family dog had special needs, so I also have experience in that realm (blind, deaf, meds, anxiety issues, etc.). I am patient with misbehavior and "accidents", and will also brush and/or bathe your dog if requested.
Reviews
Charlotte helped me by walking my pitbull, Kaylee, when I had a foot injury last spring. She was very reliable and was very good at handling my dog's excitement around people. I would definitely trust Charlotte with my dog again in the future.
I trusted Charlotte to house-sit for me on many occasions. I trusted that she would take care of my house and my beloved dog. She definitely got my dog tired by playing with her so much!
Charlotte is a kind and reliable dog walker and caretaker. She has helped with our dogs on many occasions and we have had good experiences with these arrangements. I recommend her.

Information Charlotte V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, or behaviors that you are working on. If your dog wears a harness or headcollar during walks, please demonstrate it for me during our meet-and-greet.
A typical day
I love helping dogs feel right at home with their favorite walking routes, games, and toys. For example, with my own dogs, I liked walking on the bike path near my home. If the dog(s) are properly socialized, I would love to take them to the dog park if there's one nearby.
