Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll be your pet's new best buddy!
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Chuck was so great with our girls. He learned their commands and took them on long walks and send lots of pictures. He was also observant and attentive to our dog with allergies and gave her medication as needed. Our house was left spotless.
Chuck did an excellent job taking care of my sensitive whippet. He followed all my multitude of instructions for her care. I feel like he took care of her just as we would if we were home. He sent pictures and updates everyday. He also was conscientious in his care for our home while staying there. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again when we have to leave for an extended period.
Chuck was terrific! Super friendly and interested in our dog, Patrick. Chuck did his best to engage, play and walk Patrick..but Patrick’s a couch potato 😊
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.
The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! Loved our corgi like we would!

Schedule
I work from home so I am here most of the time. I can easily manage my personal schedule with quality dog and cat care.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldChuck can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- 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.
