About Charnell M.

Dog skills

7 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer taking care of animals in their own home. When their family is away, that can be a stressful, uncertain time for them, so making sure they still feel safe and at home is always my top priority. I keep their routine as normal as possible — same feeding times, same walks, same spaces — so the change feels as small as possible for them. If we're at my place instead, I love watching them explore and get curious about a new environment. Helping them feel comfortable and at ease is always the most important thing to me, whether that's in their home or mine.

Charnell M.'s Neighborhood

Your pup's new favorite walking bud

Pet care experience

I've been watching dogs for about 7 years now, mostly small and medium dogs, and I have a real soft spot for herding breeds. I love going on walks with them, usually around 30-45 minutes in the neighborhood, to help burn off their energy and keep them active. I especially love walking younger, energetic dogs because I can go longer with them (getting my steps in) but, I also have a big love for senior dogs and take it slower and easier for them. Every dog is different, so I like to give them what they need — whether that's a good long walk or just sweet cuddles and their own space to relax. I try to keep things calm for them the whole time they're with me. I also send lots of pictures throughout the day so you can see your pup enjoying themselves and know they're safe and having a good time. Right now I'm actually watching a friend's dog, and I'd love to bring that same care to your pup too. I do ask for at least 24 hours' notice when possible, just so I can work around everyone's schedule and be fully ready for your dog.

Charnell is great with my dog Hershey! A 65 lbs dog with a jumping problem is no easy feat, but Charnell stays patient and loving with our sweet boy. She was mindful of his extra health needs as a chronically ill boy, and we always know he’s in good hands when she is around!

Charnell has always taken great care of Ollie. We really appreciate how responsive and communicative she is when looking after our pup. She also takes great photos to keep us appraised of how her time with our dog is going and always know Ollie will be well loved whenever he gets to spend time with Charnell!

Charnell is amazing! She's super attentive and communicative and will make sure that your pet is happy and comfortable while you're away. I highly recommend booking with her!
