**About me** My name is Gina Kelley. I'm 43 years old. I live in a condo in Dilworth that I own with my fur babies Charles Atticus (aka: Puppy Chuck / Charlie) and Tigger kitty. I work full-time, Monday-Friday (7:30-4:30). As soon as I'm home, my attention goes straight to my doggie (and yours!). I treat my animals how I wish to be treated. There is never a bored moment! I have also cared for cats for friends and family my entire life. Plus, I had two of my own: Graybee and Dwezil who passed away 17.5 and 16 years respectively. If you want to check out Charlie's instagram, feel free: puppychuck1 **Special rules or requests** -My business hours are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. A “night” equals 24 hours, not necessarily just an overnight stat. I would charge $10 for pick ups over 29 hours and $20.00 for pick ups at 32 hours into the pup's stay. Before booking, I need to know the approximate drop off and pick up times so that I can adjust the price accordingly. Thanks for understanding! - I'd rather have dogs 15 pounds or less so that it is easier for me to control while on a walk or in the house. No aggressive breeds, please. - Your dog must be on some type of flea prevention, because Charlie is highly allergic to fleas. **About my home/services** I live in a 715 square foot condo on the first floor. The temperature in the condo is controlled through a NEST thermostat, where I can adjust accordingly (and remotely). I have a live NEST camera so I can keep an eye on Charlie, and his furry guests, as well as talk to them while I'm at work so they won't be lonely! On the weekends, my schedule revolves around Charlie. We go to Freedom Park for a walk, or we take advantage of the Sedgefield Park area where it has a lot of shade. We go to the local pet stores to get special treats! If it is raining, we will zip outside so they can do their business, and then we will snuggle on the couch in a blanket and watch Netflix! If it is hot, I always do the longer walks during the early mornings and late evenings with short walks in between. My floors are vinyl with carpet in the bedroom. Pets are free to roam, or they can be crated depending on the owner's instructions. I have a crate suitable for a small dog that can be used if needed. If Charlie's guests need medical attention, I am very close to Long Animal Hospital 24 hour emergency care clinic. Or if any guests needs medicine to be given to them, I will be happy to oblige at the owner's instructions. **About my neighborhood** Dilworth is my neighborhood. It is quite, calm, and walkable! Extremely dog-friendly! **What to expect** In the house: We will play "Toy Hide-and-seek" (I hide the toy, the guests will sniff and find!) Puppy Chuck and his guests will more than likely play with one another and have chases throughout the house. Outside: We will go walking around the Dilworth or Sedgefield neighborhoods or to Freedom Park. If owner permits, we will go to the Frazier Dog Park Uptown Charlotte (stay in the small doggie side).
