A Home Instead is best!!

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life, from early childhood until now with very few breaks. With my pets I've gained experience with surgical after care, tube feedings, medication administration as well as subcutaneous fluid administration and also basic grooming just to name a few keys skills. I work full time days but am home every evening and my work is close enough that I can come home on lunch to tend to our pets if needed. I am also home and available most weekends. We can accept emergency/last minute stays if our schedules allow us to accommodate them at the time. Our largest fur baby is a male Mastiff Shepherd mix who loves to play with other dogs. The smallest, a female Miniature Dachshund is a homebody who doesn't care to play with other dogs but will accept their presence. We have 3 cats, all plump and happy. All of them are pretty chill and just lounge around all day waiting for all the attention they can get. Contact me any time with questions about my availability. There aren't many times that I'm not around to accept new and returning clients that need care. If needed: Larger and/or outdoor animals will follow the same rates as dogs for basic cleaning and care, in your home. Smaller caged pets will follow the same rates as cats for basic cleaning and care, in your home. At our home we have a large unfenced yard, our large dog is off lead most of the time, but our small dog uses a lead. Visiting pets are kept on a lead at all times since it's not their familiar area. We spend a large amount of time outside when the weather is nice, and snuggle up on the couch when it's not so nice. When home alone, our dogs are crated. We have fairly consistent schedules for our pets, as I would assume yours do to, which would be followed per your instructions.

Chantal did an amazing job with my fur baby! I got updates and pictures from her throughout the evening, and was very happy with Sophies stay!

Chantal took incredible care of our two babies while we were out of town. Having just moved across the country with them, I was very worried to leave them with someone I didn’t know and also that they would be anxious with all the change. Chantal gave us so much piece of mind. She did all their favorite activities with them while we were gone like swimming and squirrel watching!

Information Chantal C. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to include any pet information that might be important. For example; does your pet have separation anxiety, special feeding/medication requirements, are they working on any training or are they allowed treats and if so what kinds? Do you allow your pets on furniture (we do), are they friendly/tolerable/aggressive with other animals? Any and all information will help to ensure a pleasant visit while you are away.

A typical day

We generally stay close to home. We have a very large lake and walking trial that our dogs like to frequent which is accommodating for animals of any age. We also have a a wooded park that we love. It's small and quiet so our pups can have some freedom to explore. If your dog loves to swim, when it's nice out, we have a favorite spot on the river that is a major hit with our furry friends.
