Pet care experience
I have been the designated pet sitter for my friends and family since I was about 15. I’ve taken care of cats with medical conditions, doggos with very particular diets and walking schedules and even horses and chickens! Myself I have always had animals in my life since I was 2yrs old. Cats, Dogs, Fish, Hamsters, Iguanas, scorpions, snakes and a sparrow that fell out of his nest as a baby. There was never a critter we weren’t willing to give a home to. My own pets have had medical conditions so I have given medications as well as insulin shots to pets as a regular thing and have a few tricks up my sleeve for little buddies who don’t like taking pills. I’m not someone who gets angry or scared when I get scratched or bit, that means I did something wrong not them. I have a very confident and easy way with animals and really just love when they decide I’m a good human and they can trust me. It’s always a great moment.
Reviews
Great sitting as always 🥰
Our favorite cat sitter, Charmaine is so kind and detail oriented. We feel like our home and precious fur babies are in good hands when she cat sits.
Amazing as always! Thank you :)
Charmaine was great. She was dependable, and sent wonderful updates and pictures. Cats were happy when we got home, thank you Charmaine!

I do my very best to remember that I am a guest in owners homes when I visit. To me that means to treat the space and things with respect and leave everything as I found it or better than I found it. If I’m there to spend time with a pet than that’s my job! I’m not there to hangout.
Information Charmaine G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you're pets have favorite toy's, treats or activities so that I can be sure to make that a part of the their day. Also let me know if they like to have their own space and I will be sure to not overwhelm them with my company and give them the right type of attention to make them fell happy and comfortable in their own space.
A typical day
I like to let pets lead me on activities if they seem like the have a lot of energy and get excited for outside time then that's what we'll do! If they are seeming hot and tired than it's time for snuggles and pets and maybe a little treat/snack. They lead I follow.
