Safety, trust & environment

I follow instructions to the T!! I understand that every pet has their own individual needs & requirements and those need to be met in order to keep them happy, by sticking to their known schedule! I unfortunately do not allow in home pet setting at my house as our dog was a rescue and we are still not comfortable him being around other animals for longer than an hour as his patience can run out. For the safety of our pets, I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home!! I have years of experience with different pups, volunteering at rescues and rescuing animals myself, so their safety and care will always be my top priority! Also giving unlimited love :))

Information Charne D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I’d like to know if the dog interacts with other dogs because the dog park is an option for play. I’d like to know if the dog can swim or enjoys swimming! Anything fun related, allergy related, and diet related I’d like to know!

A typical day

Walks around the block, on a hike, at the park. There’s a dog park at Chris Greene lake that I love taking my pup to but I respect wishes of dogs not being brought there! We can play catch, tug a war, frisbee! We can go hiking or swimming. Anything the pup enjoys, we shall do! As long as they are wagging their tails and smiling, I’m a happy gal!!

Pet care experience

My name is Charne! I used to have an English black lab who became my service baby and was the sweetest boy on this planet. I always knew I wanted to work with animals growing up. Weather that was rescuing them or just sharing my love with them!! I am certified for wildlife animal rescue as well. I am very active and would love to do outdoor/indoor fun activities with your pets!! I am experienced in special care for pets like medication, injections, wound care, etc. Animals are life and without them where would our hearts be! I’ve always had pets from the age of 0 until now! Growing up I was raised with three dogs, two cats, and always two birds! My parents always told me you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals!! I currently live with my Fiancé and we rescued our pup Zeppelin from an abusive home 5 years ago. He has now grown to realize that love does exist, kisses are always wanted, and the couch/bed is the most comfortable place on earth!! He has severe allergies so I have experience in prepping a raw diet to fit his allergy needs! We also have a cat named Sage. She’s my baby and our snuggles are my favorite part of the day! I’d love to share my love & care with other furry friends!!

Charne was wonderful taking care of our boy! She provided photos during each visit and played in the yard with him when the weather allowed! He seemed to really enjoy her company.

Charne was awesome. First time using Rover so I was nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my two dogs and being in my home but immediately after meeting Charne ,all of those feelings went away! She constantly kept me updated and sent me pictures so that I could see that my babies were ok. She was on time everyday and spent extra time with my Hank and Daisy. She was truly dedicated in providing and caring for both of my pets! I highly recommend Charne and will definitely be using her again whenever I’m away from home!!!

If you are looking for a drop-in sitter, Charne could be a great choice. She was great with our dogs at the Meet & Greet. She sent pictures and texts daily showing her loving on the dogs and that she was accepted by them. She made sure they were fed and safely secured in our yard. As we had hired her for house sitting as well, we specifically went over our written instructions, expectations and our dogs’ feeding and medication schedule. Day 1 she arrived right on time, fed the dogs their dinner and then left, texting us she had a family dinner commitment but would be back in time for our dogs’ medication at 8:30 p.m. We acknowledged her message reiterating that as long as the medication was given at 8:30 p.m. and they were secured inside by 9 p.m. so they wouldn’t bark late at night to disturb the neighbors they would be ok. When we contacted her at 10 p.m. she said she had had to run by her home to pick up her charger but she was now at our home and she sent a picture of our dogs. However, our security system video shows she didn’t arrive until 10:14 p.m. Day 2 she left after their morning meal and returned at 2 p.m., spent less than 7 minutes, and returned just after 6 p.m, about 2 hours after our dogs’ meal schedule and afternoon medication time as indicated on the instructions. She then departed again at 6:17 p.m. When we texted her just after 10 p.m. she said she was with our dogs and sent pictures, except our security system live video showed our dogs still out front. Our neighbors also called letting us know our dogs were barking excessively outside and alerting us there was a skunk running around the neighborhood. Charne arrived at 10:31 p.m. My house was clean and tidy and my dogs were safe. For a house sitter to stay with our dogs and keep them company, Charne’s commitments did not meet expectations.
