Active, responsible, and flexible!

Pet care experience

I’m very active with an open schedule and a soft spot for animals ! I grew up on a family farm caring for animals so I have a lifetime of hands-on experience to draw upon and provide the best possible encounter for your pet. I believe in interacting with every animal according to their own unique personality. Every pet is different, and deserves to be treated as such! I pride myself on promptness and positivity. I’m so excited to have this opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a pet owner myself, I understand the amount of trust you are putting in me to care for your baby. Pictures with updates and a written log of all your baby’s activities will help ease your mind and ensure that everyone has a positive experience!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chapin. My Labrador retriever LOVES her. My dog always gets a nice long walk and I receive wonderful photo updates about their journey. I also get notified when my dog “does her business” so I know how long to walk her myself when I get home!

Chapin was awesome with my dogs: a pitbull mix and a chihuahua poodle that didn’t really get along. I could tell they were in good hands and really appreciated the photos and the updates.

Chapin is the BEST! She has wonderfully positive energy and a natural ability to understand and relate to animals. With her thoughtful questions, smart decisions, and detailed reports, she instills confidence that my boys (and home) are safe and loved. It’s clear that Chapin genuinely cares about all critters. I will continue to use her services whenever I can and recommend her to anyone I know. Simply the best!

Chapin was fantastic! She sent pictures during my weekend away, and my dog looked soooooo happy in each of them. Chapin took her on all types of adventures which clearly my dog loved. Chapin was very thorough in asking all kinds of questions about caring for my dog when we first met, which I appreciated because I'm a fairly new dog owner and have never had anyone except family members care for her. I would absolutely hire her again to take care of my dog. She loves dogs!!

Safety, trust & environment

My general rule of thumb is to adhere as closely as possible to the pets’ usual routine. Having someone new in their space can already be disruptive - my goal is to make it as minimally impactful as possible.

Information Chapin D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions ahead of time. As someone who loves a set schedule, if your pup is one that has a regular way of doing things I will adhere it to make sure your baby stays as happy and comfortable as possible!

A typical day

I believe in combining mental stimulation with a physical outlet for your pets. Whenever possible, I vary the routes we take while out and about to keep the experience thoroughly enriching. I try my best to tailor the visit to each pet’s individual needs - higher speed for higher energy pets, more sedate bonding time for the older ones, ect.
