Charlene T. Pet Care Provider in Willamina, OR 97396

Make no mistake - I may be retired and I may be a grandmother, but I am a very active and able go-getter. I believe in enjoying life and pet sitting is one way that I can fit in all the things I love to do.
I am a college graduate with a health care background, I am well read, intelligent and compassionate.
We've had dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits and goats (not to mention I was raised on a farm,) so I come by a love of animals naturally. One of my sons has two short hair chihuahuas, the other a very lovable, loyal pit bull, all of which I have taken care of for up to a week or more. I made a point of watching an in-depth dog training video with my son for the sake of being around the pit bull and knowing how to handle him
Professional jobs I have had include care of five golden labs for a week in their home, including giving meds to two of them. Another job was with two Yorkshire Terriers while owners were out of town for ten days. I cooked (yes!) for them, took them to the groomers, but kept them brushed between visits, brushed their teeth and monitored their potty pads.
No two pets are the same, no two pet owners are the same. Each one is valuable and worthy of time and attention to detail. I love being able to take the time to spend with the animals and getting to know their owners too. Its so easy to give and get love from our pets.
For multiple day stays I am willing to travel some distance (more than 50 miles.)
