Pet care experience
I grew up in a home with many cats and dogs. My mother was always taking in animals and I was more than happy to help out. I’ve been dog sitting and cat sitting for 6 years in DC. I just moved to NYC and would love to keep it up. I also have experience with elderly dogs and special need animals (anxiety, medication). Happy to answer any questions! P.S. I love all dog breeds and sizes :) I work from home so I can cater to virtually any routine. This allows me to be very flexible so just let me know their regular routine :) I live in a one bedroom apartment with no fence or balcony. However there is a dog park within walking distance, if your dog enjoys parks with other dogs.
Reviews
We left our beloved pup with Chantal during a 10-day long-distance trip. It was such a relief having Chantal take care of J.J. Chantal was responsive to messages from the start. We had a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone was comfortable. During our trip, Chantal sent a couple questions, and kept us updated with pictures and descriptions--it was clear she was getting to know J.J. and they were getting along great. J.J. was happy and healthy when we got back. And while she was happy to see us, she was clearly thrilled to be around Chantal too. Can't ask for much better reassurance than that. We're so thankful we found Chantal, and will definitely look to her when we need a sitter again!
I had total peace of mind leaving my baby with Chantal. It was apparent from our first conversation that she knows that she's doing and I got lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. My dog generally has some separation anxiety when I'm gone but I could tell when I picked him up that he had a great time.
Chantal has now watched our dog twice, and our dog has so much fun that she never wants to go home! Chantal is great about sending updates and pictures, and we feel at ease leaving our pup in her care. Would highly recommend her to others!
We strongly recommend using Chantal as a dog sitter. She has been watching our dog for almost three years, and we trust her completely! She sends photo updates everyday, is responsive, and most importantly, our dog loves her. She gives him his required medications and adheres to our instructions. Our dog is always happy when we drop him off and is completely happy and healthy when we pick him up. Thank you Chantal!
About Chantal B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
- I never feed animals any human food - or anything other than what the owner provides. I like to ensure I’m careful in case of any allergies or sensitive stomachs. - I only watch one animal at a time (unless they’re from the same family of course). - I will only take dogs to dog parks if the owner explicitly states it’s ok to do so.
Information Chantal B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs I should be aware of, or allergies. I never feed an animal human food (or anything other than the food provided) but it’s always good to know if there’s any serious allergies. Please also describe their regular routine in terms of walks and feeding and if they get along well with other animals or have any odd quirks like eating toilet paper :)
A typical day
Depending on what your dog usually likes to do, I’m happy to go to a nearby park or field or tennis courts and throw the tennis ball (I have plenty). Or if they prefer short walks we can do that too.

Availability
I’m very active so dog walking suits me quite well. I also live close to my office and many subway stations so it’s easy to get around.
