Drop-In Visits • Jun 08, 2026

I hired Chanelle for about three weeks with daily visits, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Originally, I had planned for visits every other day, but one of my cats suddenly became unwell, so I had to ask her at the last minute to switch to daily visits. She was very flexible and kindly accommodated this change without any issues. She took great care of my cats, making sure to administer medication properly every day, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She also consistently ensured that their food and water were replenished and that they were well looked after. I truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the level of care she provided. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

Doggy Day Care • May 23, 2026

Chanelle has been walking my beagle since February. She is dependable, personable and Poppy looks forward to their walks. I have since engaged her for daycare and this summer she will be boarding for 10 days. I am so happy that I have found Chanelle to help care for my dog. I highly recommend her.

Apparently at some point she closed the bathroom door and my cat couldn’t get to his litter box. Came home to my cat having pooped on my bed and my couch smelling like pee. My whole apartment smells now. He would’ve been better off alone.

Dog Walking • Feb 01, 2026

Channel Arron time and took Poppy for a walk even though there is still so much snow. Most of the sidewalks are shoveled in our neighborhood but it is still a challenge. I have decided to book Chennrl for regular walks 4 days a week.

Chanelle was great! She took pictures each time she visited and took time to leave out treats for the cats before she left. Would book again!
