I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.

Information Charmaine B. would like to know about your pet

If there are any kind of special needs (for example diet-wise or behaviorally). I also like to have a general idea of when they eat and what they enjoy doing.

A typical day

I work from home. I have outside farm animals. I take frequent breakdown to go outside (almost hourly) so your pup would get a lot of outside time if they want it. I also take dogs with me on car rides. I also do give dog friendly human food as treatd so please let me know of you only want them to eat the food you provide.

Pet care experience

Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash (leash for dogs)

I needed to board my cat, Simba, and did not want to use my regular pet boarding facility. I usually board him there; however, this time I did not want him in a caged environment. I found Charmaine through Rover, and I am glad I did. I was a little apprehensive at first, but after speaking with her and seeing how attentive she was to Simba’s needs, I felt much more comfortable. Simba is blind and requires extra care, but Charmaine took excellent care of him. She allowed him to roam freely in her home, making him feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout his stay, Charmaine provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind. She not only met Simba’s needs but went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well cared for. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Charmaine. My experience with her was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Charmaine is reliable, and loves to care for pets. She is wonderful with all pets and has a motherly spirit-she even has several of her own. She has taken in several pets to foster, and enjoys nursing them back to health. I cant recommend her enough.

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.
