While you're away, they're still at home.
Hi, I'm Charlie, and this is my crew. From daily walks to sleepovers at my place, your dog gets the same love, routines, and belly rubs they get from you. Approved by Haley, my lab and official greeter.
A lifelong dog person (and one very good girl)
I'm Charlie. I've spent a lifetime around dogs, and there's nothing I'd rather do than spend my days with them: trail walks, park benches, fetch until my arm gives out. When you're traveling or stuck at work, I make sure your dog is fed, walked, loved, and sticking to the routine they know.
Friends call me a bit of a dog whisperer. I've put multiple dogs of my own through formal training, agility courses included, so whether yours is a bouncy puppy or a set-in-their-ways senior, I speak the language.
Every visit comes with photo updates, fresh water, and as many belly rubs as the pup will tolerate.
How we can help
Simple, flexible care for dogs of every size. Tell me what yours needs and we'll make it work.
Dog walks
30 or 60-minute neighborhood walks with sniff breaks fully encouraged. Solo or with a buddy.
Drop-in visits
Feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and meds if needed. A happy check-in while you're out.
Sleepovers at Charlie's
Your dog joins the pack at our place: comfy beds, a yard to sniff, Haley and Shay for company, and sometimes a lakehouse adventure.
Puppy & senior care
Extra-patient visits for the very young and the very wise: potty breaks, meds, and gentle company.
Good questions
The things dog parents usually ask before joining the pack.
Do we meet before the first booking?
Always. The first meet-and-greet is free. We'll talk through your dog's routine, quirks, and favorite things. Haley sometimes tags along to give her professional opinion.
Where do sleepovers happen?
At our house, hosted by Haley and Shay, our 15-pound senior yorkie-poo (proof that small dogs get equal billing here). Your dog gets home comforts, a yard to sniff, and company all day. Lucky guests sometimes come along to the lakehouse for a swim-and-sniff weekend. I don't do overnight stays at client homes.
Can you handle medications or special needs?
Yes. Pills, drops, injections-with-instructions, puppy schedules, and senior-dog pace are all familiar territory. Put the details in the intake form and we'll go over them at the meet-and-greet.
How do I know how the visit went?
You'll get a photo (or three) and a quick note after every walk and visit. Fair warning: the photos are usually pretty cute.
What about references and insurance?
Happy to talk through both at the meet-and-greet. References from current pack members available on request.

Woofs of praise
Reviews from the clients whose opinions matter most.
"Charlie always knows where the squirrels are. Walks: excellent. Treat supply: bottomless. 10/10, would zoomie again."
RustyGolden Retriever"He let me sniff the same bush for four minutes and didn't rush me once. A gentleman and a scholar."
ScoutAustralian Shepherd"I don't trust easily. I trust Charlie. Also he does the good ear scratches. This is my formal endorsement."
