Aunt Charli's Doggie Wash & Dry @ Santa Monica

I've been working as a pet sitter for 18 years. Animals have always been my favorite people. I love cats, dogs, mice, reptiles everybody! The only animal I will not babysit are crocodiles. Haha.
Animals are pure. They are honest, down to earth and authentic. What's not to love about that? When they feel safe they can be very affectionate and they open up their heart. For some animals that are rescues that can take time of course but their hearts are just so pure. How can I not fall in love with them?
I do not have a pet at the moment. Maybe 1 day soon! I used to have kitty cats that I adored immensely and I was very broken hearted when they passed. My last Kitty passed in ***. Broke my heart in 2. I had a doggy at 1 point a wired hair terrier. Beautiful boy! My love.

Basic understanding of how to manage and care for pet

Other skills

I have been doing this type of work for 18 years so I know dogs like the back of my hand as well as cats. I can pick up exactly what they're feeling by their body language their facial expressions. I'm a empath which is a highly sensitive intuitive person so I am very in tune with the pets that I take care of. The more I spend time with the pet the closer we get emotionally and the pet feels safe. If the client doesn't mind, after a walk I like to give them a soft neck massage and a little back massage and they absolutely love it! They close their eyes and I take it in. I can do medications for the pet but in 18 years of doing this I have never given a shot. So I wouldn't be available for giving shots. Only other types of medication.
