Hello!
It's great to meet you. I'm Charlie, Kiwi (born in New Zealand), so a relaxed, down to earth, worldly individual by birthright.
I’m a patient, gentle pet sitter, who can’t wait to take great care of your pet when you’re away. Each animal is treated as if they were my own and given a great deal of love and attention. I am happiest using positive reinforcement to encourage animals and play to keep them engaged. Nothing brings me more joy than building a bond with an animal! Since I'm not at a point of being able to commit to having one of my own, pet sitting and dog walking is the perfect way for me to enjoy the best of both worlds.
I have experience caring for all types of dogs from big to small; I’ve been a dog foster carer for a year so am very familiar with training for behavioural issues and have learned an incredible deal of patience and understanding for animals.
I lead an active lifestyle so know lots good spots for walks or even runs. I’m comfortable managing all kinds of dog interactions. Walks will normally be 30-45 mins. This isn’t including travel time if we are going somewhere special like a dog park.
I love cats just as much as dogs and have grown up with them my whole life!
I am happy giving oral medication if necessary but don’t have experience with needles.
During house visits, by request I am happy to look after extra tasks such as taking mail in, putting bins out or watering plants at no extra charge of course.
I run my own business so have a pretty flexible schedule and pride myself on being extremely reliable (definitely not in my nature to let anyone down and always go above and beyond). Having the ability to work from home also means your pet will get lots of company and attention!...
