Hello! I grew up in a house surrounded by animals. Primarily dogs - three boxers and two black labrador/boxer crosses over the years, and also fish, cats and hamsters into the mix as well. Dogs really are my favourite, so being a dog sitter and dog walking are things I've spent my whole life doing and love doing! I'm also handy when it comes to other animals, although my skillset is mainly with dogs.
I'm a professional dancer so keeping active is something I have to do everyday, so combining it with dog walking is perfect. I'm also available for home visits and home stays as I understand that some animals feel much more comfortable in their own home, and can often get frightened by new spaces and people they don't know. I'm based in Leeds, so would need home visits and stays to be within a 30 min cycle of my home/city centre, as I mostly cycle around Leeds. Unfortunately, I am unable to offer pet sitting in my own home at the moment, but please get in contact if you have any questions!
As for me, I'm currently freelancing as a professional dancer, teacher and writer - so my schedule is quite flexible. My hobbies include gardening, going to the theatre, music, reading, sewing, crochet and travelling. Please get in touch even if it's an enquiry!
I contacted Charlotte with only a few days before I needed Roxi looking after. She got back to me really fast & maintained perfect communication all the way through the sitting. She arrived early, was ever so patient with Roxi who barks a lot at strangers & by the time we got back, they had become friends and Roxi was more than happy to accept strokes from her. She sent me pictures throughout the day & updates on how Roxi was getting on. Thank you for being patient & a lovely sitter for Roxi.
Highly recommended! Charlotte was very confident with our two young and boisterous dogs!
