Hi! My name is Charlize (or Charly).
About me:
I am an 19-year-old university student studying business marketing online, who has always loved animals. Being online, I am always home and able to spend time caring for some extra pets! My motivation to become a pet sitter is based on the love I have for animals especially the two I have at home, a 12-year-old Murray River turtle called Summer and a 9-year-old Pomeranian x Chihuahua called Boe.
I have a genuine love for animals and a strong desire to provide them with the best care possible. I find a lot of joy being surrounded by and caring for animals. I am excited to be able to build strong relationships with both the pets and their owners as well as being able to offer a peace of mind while you are away without having worries about your beloved pets. While having two of my own very cheeky and cute pets, as well as some experience with pet sitting/dog boarding animals, I am experienced in being able to care for them in the best and most loving ways possible.
My pets:
Boe (dog) - calm and gentle chihuahua cross pomeranion, however can be quite timid when it comes to any sized dogs (even if they are smaller than him). To avoid any stress pets will be separated by baby gates for doggy day care and bog boarding. Happy and gentle around all cats.
Summer (turtle) - calm and happy murray river turtle that walks around the house every now and then but will be left in his tank while boarding and during day care to avoid altercations.
Services:
House Sitting:
I can offer house sitting to any amount of pets of all sizes that require 24/7 care. Many stresses and anxieties can come with changes in routines or surroundings with pets and I am happy to be able to keep them in their familiar and comfortable environments to keep them at ease.
Dog Boarding and Day Care:
I can offer boarding / day care to one animal at a time. They will be in a safe environment with a comfortable place to nap, medium sized back yard surrounded by high fences, and with an extremely loving family of five. They will be able to go anywhere in the house they would like minus a few bedrooms. We also have a pool if your dog likes swimming while supervised! If so, we also have a small / medium sized doggy life jacket if needed when swimming. I will be able to take your pets on walks, feed them, bathe them (if necessary), and clean up after them. I'd prefer relatively small or extra small pets for these services as my dog can be quite timid around other large dogs.
Dog Walking:
I am comfortable walking any dog as long as they are trained/able to walk well on leash e.g. no excessive tugging/pulling of the leash, please make sure no cars, birds etc. are distractions for your dog that will cause them to run off. This is purely for their own and my own safety. This does not include small and extra small dogs.
Home Visits:
I am able to drop in for one/two home visits to spend time, feed, and/or clean up after your pets of any size and any amount. Many stresses and anxieties can come with changes in routines or surroundings with pets and I am happy to be able to keep them in their familiar and comfortable environments to keep them at ease.
Additional Services:
Constant supervision: I will most likely be with your pet all the time regardless of this but I am able to constantly supervise your pet.
Emergency transport: If it comes down to an emergency at my own home during day care and boarding or home visits, transportation is not an issue.
Administering oral medications: I am able to administer oral medications to your pet whether it be with some peanut butter, put into their dinner or taken orally.
Please make sure that your pet:
- Is house trained / toilet trained unless they are a puppy - accidents are okay !
- Is not a fence jumper.
- Is fully vaccinated / desexed / treated for fleas,worms and ticks.
*Please feel free to be transparent about concerns or behaviours that need to be addressed prior to any services. We can then further discuss to best accomodate the needs of your pet.* I am excited to be able to become one of your furbabies new best friends and show them unconditional love and comfort while you are not able to!

Amazing - as always 🐾
My old dog requires extra care with medications and had some anxiety issues while I was away but Charlize was willing and very sweet about everything that was thrown her way. It was a big relief to know my clan was well cared for and I loved the updates and photos along the way
