Thank you all for liking and following my page! I’d like to start off with an introduction of the people behind the business:

First off is me – Charlie. I’ve always had a passion for animals and grew up with quite a few. I’ve owned about every small critter you could get at a pet store (rats being my favorite by far) and there was always a family dog in the house. I got my own dog at 17, a grumpy old Chihuahua named Pedro. I fell in love and have been dog crazy ever since! Professionally, I first started working in a boarding/doggy daycare facility where I learned basic dog body language and behaviors. After many years, I moved into the veterinary field full time as a veterinary technician. Being a vet tech is some of the hardest yet most rewarding work out there (Make sure to thank your local clinic if you haven’t recently!). After 10 years, I absorbed all things veterinary before moving into training dogs. I truly loved making such a difference in the human/dog bond. Because of all my previous history in the animal/dog field – I feel confident in handling any pet or situation while you’re away on a trip!

The other person here is my husband, Mark! We met each other at the boarding/daycare facility. He has a love for dogs just as big as mine and helps cuddle dogs when I run out of hands to pet them with. He’s the real back bone and best support system I could wish for!

Mark and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Give us a call, email or message if you’d like to reserve your spot in our schedule!

Happy national dog day !! Hope everyone had a great day with their pups! Here are a few of the cuties we have in boarding for this weekend - Kenai is first (the Alaskan Klee Kai), Brookie (the mix pup) and then Ty and Brodie (Pittie and Lab).

Show me some pictures of your pups below!

So the exciting new is - I am opening my own Boarding/Daycare business called Zelda Pet Services!!

After some time away from the animal business, I kept longing to be with dogs (people in an office don't seem to want to talk about them as much as I do) and I know I can't physically jump back into dog training full time, but I started thinking through and building a solid business plan for boarding dogs in my home

My goal is to focus on good, quality care for each pet I watch and it will be a limit on the amount of dogs I take at a time. Be sure if you want to use me for your next trip to reach out as soon as possible to reserve your spot!

I'm so excited to start on this new journey and I'm excited to watch your pup next time you need it!

Exciting new things are coming soon for me and my pack, Stay tuned!!

It’s so much fun having finished dogs come back for boarding! Willow is one of my current boarding cuties - she finished her program back when she was just a small pup and I love seeing her all grown up!
We went to meet our coworker for some coffee. I love being able to take pups out and about!
Can your dog join you on your coffee break? DM me to find out how they can!

Happy Thursday! Addy is a 2yr old rescue girl who has some naughty behaviors. Her owners currently take her to doggy daycare EVERY day because she can never be home alone!! We’re hoping to have some solutions with a week of one on one training. This girl is as sweet as can be, just needs some guidance on what she should and shouldn’t do.

If trimming your dogs nails isn’t this easy, then we need to talk!! As a former vet tech, I could not stand it when owners brought their dogs in and the clinic was left with the choice of 4 people trying to hold the pet down or sedating them every time.. for something as simple as a nail trim!
Baths, nail trims and overall grooming is a constant need in every dogs life - so why not teach your dog to enjoy it??

“I don’t always run through the house, bite my owners, and potty on the floor; but when I do, my moms call Charlie for help” ~Nugget
Nugget (Aka Sharky) is a young pit Bull who finished his intro to basic obedience program! Owners are looking to do more but wanted to start with some basic commands, learn not to puppy bite, and having him stay in one place and not terrorize them and the cats while inside! Can’t wait to do more with this boy, he’s such a goofball 🤪

3 puppies (Kahlo the Bouvier, Bella Grace the Goldendoodle and Maze the LabX) all under 7 months old, walking through Lakewood Ranch Main Street in perfect heel this morning. Walking when I walk, stopping when I stop and paying attention despite the other walkers, bikes and people dining.
If three puppies can do it, so can’t your dog! If you need help please reach out!

“My dog might not be perfect, but she’s perfect for me.”

When I’m not training dogs to lay down and stay, I dabble with teaching cats! It’s more like asking nicely and hoping for the best but.. 😂🤣
