About Charli

Thank you for viewing my profile.
I have been sitting animals since 2016. Throughout my life I have owned/lived with many pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, a snake a lizard and a few more!

Sadly after losing our two fur babies a few years ago we no longer have any 'resident pets'.

There is no creature I don't enjoy caring for, I love the companionship of animals and care for them like my own when they are in my care.

We have a five bedroom detached property near the beach with an enclosed medium sized garden. If you have a backyard, what is it like? Fully fenced, gate is double bolted. It is safe and secured, the garden is flat and medium sized. 

I can almost always accommodate one dog even short notice, however multiple dogs spaces and longer stays are limited this year (2021) as I am so busy.
August is nearly fully booked and I have bookings throughout the year with single dogs so spaces are fast becoming limited.
For home visits I can nearly always accommodate.


My services include -

Home visits - these are for cats, rabbits chickens etc.
When I visit I prepare your pet's food and water, clean their litter tray / hutch as needed and of course give cuddles and attention to any that aren't too shy.
I regularly send photos and videos to you so you can see how your pet is doing.
At the end of each booking I make sure all bowls, trays, hutchs etc. are thoroughly cleaned, surfaces disinfected and and stray litter vacuumed allowing you to return to a fresh clean home.

Dog Boarding/Daycare
We have hosted many dogs of all shapes and sizes.
We prefer to meet you and your dog previous to booking to make sure all involved are comfortable, especially your dog!
We do prefer small and medium breeds because we have a young family, so of course any dog staying would need to be friendly with children under 10.
We live in a five bedroom detached property with a medium sized, fully enclosed garden.
We have the beach and park just a few minutes walk away where we do our dog walking and occasionally we visit our nearby woods also which is a five minute drive away.

We have bowls, a medium sized bed a few toys and a lead here, however most guests come with special toys, blankets etc which we encourage to help that home from home feel we do our best to recreate for your dog's comfort.

We are a typical active young family with school runs, kids clubs, playing games in the garden to movie times on the sofa.
Many of our clients love this as it is similar to their home, continuing that home from home feel rather than a kennels.

Additional Questions

How long are the dog walks or how many do you offer per day etc?

1 - 3 walks a day, this and the length of time depends on their usual routine.

How many pets can you board at the same time?

95% of the time we have one or two at a time from different households. Though I am able to host 4. I do accept bookings from multiple households if all owners are confident their dogs are friendly with others. I'm happy to discuss further when we meet.

How much time you can usually spend with guest pets on a daily basis/Are you a student or do you work?

I have two small businesses - animal sitting being one of them - both I work from home for. My husband also works from home 90% of the time. This is helpful as when I do a school run etc. It is likely he will be at home with your pet.

For short stay animals they may be left for an absolute maximum to two hours alone in the property.

For long stay animals a maximum of four hours - this is only once they are comfortable, so after several days of staying.

If this is an issue it can be discussed, however it is extremely rare for no one to be home longer than the 30 minute school run during the week.


Who else lives in your household?

My husband Tom, my five year old Jasmine and my two year old Bertie. we sadly no longer have any resident pets.

Where are the guest pets allowed to sleep?

Anywhere downstairs that they find comfortable.

We were very happy with the service from Charli who looked after out cat whilst we were away on holiday. She really put our minds at ease with the frequent updates and lots of photos so communication was excellent. Our cat has had a poorly tummy recently but Charli went out of her way to clean up any mess she came across which we really appreciate. And although our cat is very shy with new people and usually hides away she soon warmed up to Charli very quickly which we were very impressed with! Thank you.
