Safety, trust & environment

Unless otherwise instructed by the client, my basic rule is to keep dogs leashed whenever we go outside. The only exceptions are client-approved, fenced-in areas. The safety of my client's pet is my top priority.

Information Chuck D. would like to know about your pet

I have never met a dog I didn't like. And most of them have liked me. I care for each pet as if it were my own. I don't mind "quirky" pets, but it's nice to have a heads-up on the quirks.

A typical day

I try to keep pets on their normal schedule as much as possible when I am with them. I consult with the client to determine specific activities. That said, all dogs need some level of exercise, and I am happy to provide that.

Pet care experience

Every dog is an individual, and deserving of respect and kindness - just like people! I've had dogs in my life for 40+ years and can't imagine life without them. While I have no special magical skills with dogs, I've had success just relating to them, and taking my cues from them on how they like to interact. I am always up for a walk or a playful romp, but also understand a dog's need for space and quiet time. City walks or park walks are equally fine with me, as are dog parks (if that's ok with dog's owner). I am not qualified to do any dog grooming, but if your pet gets wet or dirty while in my care, I will certainly clean him or her up. I love cats, as well. However, to be fair to the pets, I will not board cats and dogs simultaneously. But if I get the cat request for a time when no dogs are booked, I will happily welcome the feline and close my availability for dogs during that time.

It was love at first sight for Chuck and our dogs. He's an excellent dog and house sitter and we so appreciate his stepping in for us on short notice. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Nina enjoyed another amazing stay with Chuck. I can truly enjoy my vacations knowing she is in great hands, I know Chuck is taking good care of her and he sends lots of pictures during her stay.

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.
