Hi, my name is Chantel and I'm a qualified Veterinary Nurse and I have been Pet Sitting for over 6 years now. I'm currently looking to expand Pet Sitting to become my profession as I'm so passionate about looking after animals and I absolutely love what I do. I will still make sure that your pet gets the same care and loving as before.
I have been police vetted for those of you concerned about letting a stranger into your home. I am also triple vaccinated against Covid-19 and as my daughter has a health condition I am extra careful with wearing masks and sanitising.
I'm 42 years old and have an 12 year old daughter. We are living at my parents with our two boys Milo a fluffy Tabby and Cashew a short haired Ginger kitty.
Over the years I have been a proud "Mum" to many fur/feather babies including a laid back darling of a Chow Chow, four wonderful cats with amazing characters, a spirited bunny rabbit, three talkative, snuggly budgies and a goldfish with attitude. I like to make "friends" with the animals I meet everywhere I go. My photos show me with some of the different animals I have met on my travels.
During my visits I will feed your pet, refresh their water, clean their litter tray, play with your pet, give them the attention they need (some pets are really smoochy while you are away so like a cuddle, some like just to sit and hang out instead) and give them a quick health check to the best of my abilities. I will take a photo of each pet I am looking after and share this with you with a daily update. My visits are generally 30mins however in multi pet households this would be longer. Im flexible with when I visit, so I can fit in with your pets current routine.
If you require overnight stays and would prefer, I can leave my daughter with my parents. I am flexible with this. If your pet is ok being at home on their own during the day then I'm excited at the prospect of meeting them and caring for them while you are away.
***I am only taking jobs in Hamilton***
Chantel was great to deal with and sent lovely photos of Twyla to keep me updated.
Chantel did a fantastic job of feeding and patting my cat and budgies. She gave daily updates and was a great communicator and quick to reply. My cat tends to get a bit snotty and she kept an eye on this too....would totally use her again!!
As I am a qualified Vet. Nurse I am more than capable of looking after your pet, even if they have medical requirements. I am reliable, calm, responsible, caring, gentle and will treat your pets with the same love and affection you would, while you are away :) I also have experience looking after elderly cats and their medical/extra needs.
