Veterinary Student & Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
I am currently studying at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine to become a Vet, so its safe to say that I want to live my life taking care of animals! If you need someone who is super attentive and cares a lot more about an animals health and happiness than the money, then I'm your gal. I have worked multiple jobs with animals, at a wildlife hospital, a small animal veterinary practice, small animal emergency hospital, a dog hotel, and I often interact with animals at PennVet! Here I've experienced dogs with all types of temperaments, personalities, special needs, and ages, and I've become quite use to staying attentive with many dogs around. I'm super flexible and will make sure that dogs of all different personalities have their wants and needs fulfilled. The most important thing is the needs of the dog. I love all dogs and are not picky with any breeds or size. If you want to find someone who loves your dog as much as you do, I'm right here!
Reviews
Chantal was so great! She was very accommodating and took very good care of Chester. She sent us many pictures and updates on how he was doing and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely be sending him back to her in the future.
Chantal was incredible! She took such great care of Frankie, was very communicative and just so nice. I loved all the pictures she sent while we were away. . Will definitely be rebooking!
Chantal is AMAZING!! My year old Aussiedoodle stayed with her for 2 nights and Chantal was so attentive to all of her needs and sent the best updates !! She even alerted me of potential health issues that my dog was facing and she sewed her toy back together after my dog destroyed it! ?could not recommend enough
We are so lucky to have found Chantal! We were planning our first weekend away from Leo, our loving but anxious Jack Russell & Chihuahua mix, and we had Chantal walk him twice and then stay at our house while he was away. She immediately understood Leo’s needs and the importance of letting him gradually warm up to new people. While we were away, she updated us regularly and reached out with any questions. We will be recommending her to our former dog trainer and absolutely working with her for any future walking and/or sitting needs. We cannot speak highly enough of her!

I have also adopted and worked with cats in order to understand their needs and wants. I have experience with a multitude of animals with health problems such as diabetic animals, animals in kidney failure, brachiocephalic dogs, and many more. If you have a pet with health concerns that you are nervous to leave with a stranger, just know that I have lots of experience under my belt in order to handle any condition! I have also worked with dogs of many temperaments: so if your dog is fear reactive, has resource guarding, or just a little rough around the edges then I'm your gal. (Please disclose all behavioral challenges in your message - I do not judge but please let me know in advance for my and your pet's safety) I also worked with trainers in the past and will continue any training that your pet is with me so that they don't forget what they're learning when you're away (I only endorse positive reinforcement training)

Information Chantal Y. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any special needs of the dogs or anything that the owner preferences. I would love to be told a bit about the dogs likes and dislikes, temperament, any fears, any odd behaviors, and just things your dog loves you to do I can do my best to keep them happy! Any animals that are boarding will have to be vaccinated for a minimum of rabies, distemper, and must be FeLV negative, and on flea and tick prevention year round. I will be asking for proof of these before boarding!
A typical day
This is dependent on the dog's needs and owner preferences! After communicating with the owner and understanding the dog's personality and health more, I can offer a number of different activities and walks that the owner can choose from!
