When your dogs need love and safety

My belief is that dogs should be loved and given a lot of attention, and that every dog is a special part of a family. From my many years of experience walking and training dogs, as well as serving as assistant to a show breeder, I have learned that all dogs can feel loved, safe and secure given the proper care and attention. My keen sense of canine needs, sharp eye for detail (potential health issues, moods, emotions, etc.) have allowed me to provide outstanding supervision for over 100 dogs of many breeds, sizes and energy levels. My goal is to give families peace of mind while their dogs are away from their individual care, providing a home-away-from-home and a new best friend. It is important for me to build/have a good relationship with both the dogs and the dog owners.

Mrs. Charlie is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with from the moment you reach out to book. She has a great setup with plenty of safe space for the dogs to run, play, and relax, and it's clear how much she genuinely enjoys caring for them. The biggest compliment I can give is that I feel completely comfortable leaving Silas and Little Dog in her care. It's such a relief knowing they're in a safe, loving environment where they're treated like family. She provides updates, pays attention to each dog's individual needs, and makes the entire experience stress-free. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Mrs. Charlie. We'll definitely be booking with her again!

My wife and I needed to find a dog sitter for our three boys on very short notice. Mrs. Charlie was available and when we went to meet with her and have an introduction with our boys. She was amazing with her and her dog Potus. She was very thorough with explaining her routine with the dogs. We decided to continue with Mrs. Charlie and I'm glad we did. She sent pictures of our dogs playing and having a good time. When I came to pick them up, they are happy and smiling. I would trust Mrs. Charlie with our three boys any day of the week. Very highly recommended.
