Basically an animal enthusiast 💙
Pet care experience
PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer providing in-house overnight services (exceptions are listed below). I am happy to spend ample amounts of time with your furry friends but I can no longer stay overnight. Thank you for your understanding :) I love animals of all kinds but have been primarily been around dogs and cats since I was a wee baby. I grew up with a golden retriever (and so many other breeds) and have experienced several breeds since then. My Old Man Dog (a 10 year old border collie/husky) recently crossed the rainbow bridge but I also have a highly energetic / anxious American staffie (~ 4 years) and a 1.5 year old GSD mix. I welcome dogs of all breeds 💙 My dad used to foster golden retrievers and I used to foster dogs (and sometimes kittens and adult cats) of all ages and breeds when I lived in Annapolis, MD and miss being surrounded by animals (and greenery but I’m working on that) so I signed up with Rover in order to help others while also fulfilling my love being around animals. I’m rambling at this point but I’m happy to provide whatever your animals may need! ****Please note**** 1.) Messages will be automatically archived within 72 hours if I do not receive a response. 2.) Rover has an extended stay & holiday policy - please note my current rate before booking! I understand financial situations exist and COVID has not been kind so I can waive the fee to a certain extent - I highly encourage inquiry beforehand 😊 3.) I generally do not provide overnight services for cat care. Extenuating circumstances include: tiny kittens, new mamas, or medical requirements. They will still receive all the love and TLC ☺️ 4,) I also only provide overnight services if boarding and on a case-by-case basis including, but not limited to, young puppies/kittens, disabled pets, pets with medical needs, pets with severe separation anxiety. I always provide tons of activity + TLC throughout the day and make sure there is a night outing. 4.) If your cameras have mics I will have to work elsewhere. Potty and meal time will not be impacted 🙂 5.) I do reserve the right to come and go as needed. I will make sure all the furry friends are tended to beforehand and the house is locked up so please understand that I will not be in your house 24/7. 6.) Please understand that I do not respond to texts or phone calls after 9 PM or before 8 AM - I try to do a screen detox before retiring for the evening. If I am working I will respond as soon as I am free! Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you, once again, for taking such good care of Charlie and the house. I'll be in touch the next time we travel and will hope you're available.
Very sweet, but she did not stick to the schedule we agreed upon or the overall instructions that were written and gone over in advance. She went 9 hours once and 12 hours another time between visits with our two dogs.
1st time sitting for us and Belle and everything went very well!
Charm took care of my old boy over a long weekend. She kept him feeling safe during overnight thunderstorms. She sent me the most detailed updates every evening and was very communicative. Will always feel comfortable leaving my pup with her.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard but it is not the largest and mostly occupied by an obnoxious porch (to be removed this summer!) so I usually take the dogs for walks around the neighborhood. I am overly paranoid about escape artists so no one is left alone outside (ever).
Home
Information Charmduri H. would like to know about your pet
Temperament, if they are fixed, any rules / commands you prefer, personality quirks, medication, any leash aggression, prey drive, their favorite activity, if they’re allowed on furniture, behaviors you are trying to correct, etc.
A typical day
The neighborhood is dog walking friendly - so many walks and sniffs to be had! I also send a small, daily update accompanied by an adorable pic ☺️

Availability
I encourage a thorough conversation prior to booking so that requirements and expectations are understood and agreed upon. I work both in and out of the home, have a significant other, and enjoy social activities. I am also an incredibly responsible adult and make sure all thumbless sentient beings are taken care of prior to activities.
