Must Love Dogs ❤️ 🐶
Pet care experience
I absolutely love dogs and this is my full time job. This means that you can rest assured that your fur babies will have 100% of my attention. They will never be left for more than an hour (if that, generally only for a quick supermarket visit, etc). We’ll spend time together playing games, frolicking in the great outdoors, exploring awesome hiking trails and of course extra snuggle time! When I come to your home, I treat it as my own. You will always come back to your home the same or better than you left it. Also note that my husband usually travels with me. He adores dogs! He grew up with them on a farm and his dad was a dog trainer, so he’s got some expertise as well 🤩 It is important to note that I never mix dogs from different households. Your pups will already feel tense about being in a new place and away from their parents that they don’t need the added stress of meeting other dogs. This also means that they get all of the attention and cuddles ❤️ While cats are also super sweet, I am unable to care for them due to an allergy. So my services are exclusively for dogs. I promise, your fur babies will be super happy with me ❤️
Reviews
Chantal is amazing and was great with Lola, sent a lot of pictures and videos updates throughout the day. She really came through in a pinch with our booking, would definitely recommend!!
Chantal was a dream come true for us to be able to get away for a week with 3 dogs at home. We have a blind senior pup and a puppy in the mix so it was not a straight forward situation but Chantal managed to keep them totally entertained and exercised and most importantly loved 🥰 We were also kept updated the entire time we were gone with pictures and her walking routes. We were so impressed! Our house was perfectly clean and pups were exhausted and content when we walked in the door after our week away. She had even left behind homemade treats for us in the freezer which was really thoughtful. We (& the dogs) absolutely love her and her passion for what she does; we are so thankful and can't imagine traveling again without having her watch our precious lil pups ❤️
Chantal is the person my wife and I completely trust with our beloved pup and our home when we travel. She is not a 'passive' pet sitter. Chantal is completely engaged with our pup from before she arrives for her stay until the moment she leaves. While in our home, she is a full-time professional who entertains, watches over, trains, plays with and just generally spoils our dog. She has advised us on nutrition, grooming, training, proper pet manners and so much more. Chantal's attentiveness for us extended to detecting a medical issue with our dog, and getting him to the care he needed. Overall, we felt he could not have been in better hands when we were away. I wholeheartedly recommend Chantal if you need someone to look after your fur baby. You won't be disappointed, although your pet will come to expect more love and attention from you when you are back, because they will get it from Chantal.
This was Cinder’s first time to be left without one of us in our home and she was extremely stressed and anxious. Chantal went over and above trying to keep her calm and occupied, by keeping her busy with food games and lots of walks. She went as far as going to our vet to get medication for the anxiety she was experiencing. In the end, Cinder was able to trust and bond with Chantal. Chantal was truly concerned for Cinder’s well-being as the most important thing to us was that Cinder was well cared for and safe.

Currently offering dog sitting in your home. I am very respectful of the space so there’s no need to worry ❤️ You will return to a happy pup and a clean home.
Information Chantal K. would like to know about your pet
Any information you think I should have would be helpful. To include, but not limited to: behavioral issues, medical concerns, medications, general play and stay preferences. I will also need an emergency contact as well as information on the vet in the event I need to contact them for any reason. Overall, I want to know about their personalities and what they enjoy doing so they don’t miss you too much.
A typical day
It is so important to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. All activities will be discussed with parents to ensure they are the right fit for your dog, but include long hikes, playing in the snow/leaves, various indoor mental activities, some fun training and of course snuggles! I know your fur babies will be missing you, so we work hard to keep their mind off it ;-)
