About Charel

Hi, I’m Charèl! I have 7+ years of house and pet sitting experience across Australia and internationally, with 50+ five-star reviews through TrustedHousesitters and Aussie House Sitters. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, from short stays to sits lasting five weeks or more. I run my own design business and work remotely, so I have lots of flexibility and can often spend extended time with pets in their own home. I’m active and love long walks, coastal walks and dog-friendly beaches, and I’m also happy to run with suitable dogs by arrangement. I’m comfortable administering tablets, liquid, topical and inhaled/asthma medication. Pet owners can expect reliable communication, regular photo updates and care tailored to their pet’s normal routine, personality and exercise needs.

Questions Charel has answered

What do you need to know about a pet before accepting a booking?

I’d love to know your pet’s age, breed, personality and usual routine, including exercise needs, feeding, medication and how long they’re normally comfortable being left alone. Please also tell me about any medical conditions, allergies, reactivity, fears, escape tendencies or other behavioural/safety considerations. For dogs, it’s helpful to know how they behave on lead and around other dogs and people. I also prefer a meet & greet for first-time bookings where possible.

How much time will you actually spend with my pet each visit?

For standard home visits, I’ll spend at least 30 minutes with your pet, including feeding, fresh water, attention, play and any agreed care. Dog walks are generally 30–60 minutes depending on the booking and your dog’s needs. As I run my own business and work remotely, I can also offer extended daytime care by arrangement and can often spend 6–8 hours or longer working from your home while keeping your pet company.

What happens if my pet gets sick or hurt while with you?

Your pet’s safety comes first. If they become unwell or are injured, I’ll contact you immediately and follow the emergency instructions and veterinary details you’ve provided. If I believe urgent veterinary care is needed and I can’t reach you, I’ll contact your nominated emergency person and/or take your pet to their usual vet or the nearest appropriate emergency vet. I’ll keep you updated throughout and make sure your pet is never left without the care they need
