“Charity is great, my pup is very shy and timid but Charity was very patient and gentle with her. This was our first time leaving her for multiple days so the updates were very appreciated. Thank you Charity, we'll definitely be using her again for any future needs!”


“My husband and I were out of town for the weekend and needed someone to check in our dogs while we were gone. She did great! Sent picture updates and made sure they were happy while we were gone. She's the person I trust the most to look after our dogs when we're out of town!”


About: I’m CPR certified for dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and my certification is valid through 2027. My journey with pet care began when I was thirteen where I would pet sit for family friends and acquaintances. I’ve been passionate about looking after animals ever since. Growing up with both a dog and a cat who were part of my life for nearly a decade deeply influenced my love for animals and inspired me to help care for others' pets while they’re away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels just as loved and comfortable as they do with their family. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going for walks, or just giving them company and cuddles, I’m here to ensure they are comfortable and having fun! I have experience administering oral medications and caring for minor injuries, such as bandaging hotspots. While I don’t currently have experience with injections, I’m always eager to learn and expand my skills. I am a Sophomore at PFW, majoring in Criminal Justice. During the summer, I will be working M-Th 8-5, so I am not available during those hours during the summer. Come fall, I will have classes on Tuesdays & Thursdays from about 12 pm-4 pm, and I have not yet secured a job for that time, so day availability is TBD. Please ask any questions regarding my availability and I would be happy to explain further! I’ll treat your pet(s) with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. My pets are super affectionate (and a little needy), so I’m more than ready to give your pup as much attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime as they’d like/need. For cat parents: I have a super playful, energetic kitty of my own, and I’d be more than happy to bring that same energy and attention to your cat(s), whether they’re ready to chase toys, eat some treats, or just need a little patience.

About: I have worked at my local Veterinary Clinic (3yrs) and Humane Society (1.5yrs) and have lots of animal care experience! I have worked with animals of all ages from puppies to seniors, and have experience in administering all medications and maintaining a clean environment! I am currently unemployed but am eager to find a part-time or full time position to utilize my skills and experience.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed.

I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, at one point we had 10. I’ve taken dog sat for many people in my church and in our neighborhood. I am currently a freshman at Trine University, so afternoons are best for me! I typically get out of class at 1 pm Monday-Friday. Thursdays I am completely free. I have a wood fenced yard that my two dogs play in and have plenty of space to roam. I can easily care for your dog if they have any special needs that need to be met.
