Highlights
Pet care experience
The love for a pet is incomparable.
I've never known a life without a pet. That in and of itself is a gift. Nothing compares to the love you have for your fur child(ren) or the unconditional love they give you in return. I recently lost my fur child. I always said she was a 38 pound representation of my whole heart. She was my soul dog and impacted my life in ways I will never be able to describe. We had many an adventure, traveling to over 16 states and 3 countries. After having lived abroad for the past 4 years, I recently made the move back to the U.S. This time, my fur child followed me home as an angel. Whilst I'm still recovering from her loss, my love for animals is stronger than ever. I want to extend that love to your fur child(ren). Whether it's dropping in to give your pet(s) food and cuddles, taking them on a much needed walk to allow those spidey senses to run free, or an extended stay at your home so you can have peace of mind whilst you're away, your pet will be surrounded by love, safety and attention under my care. My experience has taught me the level of care needed throughout all stages of an animal's life, and the levels of attentiveness needed. While I've personally only had dogs (and a hampster!) I am the proud aunty to my sibling's cat, whom I've cared for, and their 10 month old puppy. Having been in a position where I had to entrust my fur child to the care of another, I know how important it is to feel like they are in the very best hands. I take that very seriously. Rest assured I will love and care for your fur child(ren) as I would my own because that's what they deserve.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
You'll notice multiple reviews from me and this is why: I trust and appreciate Chanelle - and cannot recommend her enough. She takes care of your pet as her own. She supports you as their owner because she has been a pet owner herself. She is wonderful.
Chanelle is astronomically wonderful.
Chanel was awesome! We have 3 kitties (one has some special needs) and she took excellent care of everyone. She was kind, conscientious, kept me well informed, and I felt very comfortable knowing my fur babies were in such good hands. I would definitely use her again, if she's available! Thanks Chanel!
Chanelle was an amazing sitter for Maisie! She sent multiple updates a day with photos and videos. Plus she was very flexible provided additional care for an extra day when our return flights were cancelled. She reassured us Maisie was in great hands and took a bit of stress off a stressful situation.
Chanelle is thoughtful with my dog's special needs (and my anxiety!), is highly communicative, and my dog absolutely loves her.
My dog knew how special Chanelle was upon meeting. He had no hesitation but walked up to her as she was sitting on the couch with his tail wagging and a smile on his face. Ears perked up. Just as he knew, Chanelle did a vv good job with our 75 lb guy over our 6 day absence. Kept him busy. Provided lots of outdoors time in this pretty Springtime. We are very grateful to her for her good care of our loved furbaby.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always want to make sure that a safe environment is provided for the animals I care for. This isn't just about providing a safe physical environment (i.e. keeping harmful waste and toxins out of reach, potential choking hazards, making sure doors are closed, etc.), but an emotional one as well. Animals are highly intuitive and it's important that they feel safe with you and the energy you put out. I make sure that their routines are upheld to provide a sense of familiarity and stability. If needed, ensuring their medications are given as prescribed. Additionally, I would use security cameras when I had to be away from my fur child, and am happy to provide one when appropriate.
A typical day
Ultimately, a typical day depends on the pet itself. But I always try and provide fun activities, from long walks to playing at the local dog park or stimulating at-home activities. And for our seniors, from experience, I know sometimes what they really need is a good long cuddle and a nap. ;)
