Chantal's Pet & Home Sitting

Spent some time with my favourite boys today

1986 pets from the past this cat was born in my house and cared for by my English Setter has the mom had a head tumor and could not care for him. I miss you Bal

Every time I travel I take pictures of the local dogs. This is an old not so good picture of a dog from Havana, Cuba taken in 2000

I would like to thank you all for your continuing support during this crazy year 2020, I miss not having the opportunity to play and cuddle with my furry clients, but my dogs do not complain about me being more home. I wish us all a new year full of freedom and discoveries around home or the world, while staying healthy and away from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) Happy New year 2021

I went from super mini and young To super maxi and old in few days. I love my job

Theresa Crawford wrote this, it is important to know the facts, then the decision is yours My purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death. My purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.... Me wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted. My meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto. I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either. It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, my choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death. A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs. The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them. Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem. Your friend who impulse bought a dog at PetLand IS contributing to the problem. That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem. Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter so she can experience motherhood or because she’s just so sweet IS contributing to the problem. Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem. A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it. It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced. If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes. *Shared*

Being a pet sitter is giving me a lot of joy, and I would change my career choice for nothing else. At time it also gives me some heartbreaks. Some older pets reach the end of their life naturally, other get sick and rarely some need re homing in the last few days i have been working hard to make sure 2 of them could find the perfect new home and even if they are not yet fully adapted to their new environment, I know it will be the best home for them. I will not talk about t...he circonstances of why they needed a new home, but everyone involved wanted only the best for them. So a sad story ending very happily. And that is why I love my job. Giving the best to the pets and help their owner when needed. When you meet animals and you start to know them, it is impossible not caring about their wellbeing, even when they are not yours, as they have already stolen a piece of your heart. See more

Living the good life

Due to Covid19, I am temporarily closed, and will accept pet sitting only from existing pet clients.

While I cannot care for my furry clients, I take care of the wild ones around the neighbour hood

I miss seeing my furry clients, I am sure they are so happy to have their owners at home full time. Here a little present for the weekend

Have a great day! I don’t know who took that picture, but I just love it

My dogs are so happy to have me home 24/7, as your pet(s) are too I am sure. I miss seeing all my furry clients, but it is so fantastic dedicating my time to mines. We do obedience training, even if Giada and Julius don’t really need it. They are showing Toya how it is done. She is now perfect on verbal or sign command for, come, sit and down. I can’t wait to be able to work outside to teach her more things. Stay safe and at home

Fun of the day. When our puppy comes home at a young age his/her name is NO Then for few years they enjoy their Name, Giada, Julius, Toya etc. Then come old age and suddenly they all change name again Cookie

Life with Covid19 remember to also have enough food, litter and time for your pet(s), and think of others when shopping. Pet(s) do not carry the virus so no need to worry, but they can feel your apprehension or fear, they stress with you. Do not socialize with other dog(s) owner it is a time to stay away from other physically but make sure you take the time to know how family, friends and neighbours are fairing with the situation. A text, an email or a phone call take no ti...me It is a time to be united, at a safe distance If you are away from home, make sure that your pet sitter is available if you cannot return in time. Make sure your pet(s) are cared for. Pet sitters are humans and can be affected by the virus, things can change quickly so keep in touch if you are away. In case of movement restrictions in Canada like in many European Countries, pet sitter will be allowed to go do their job, we do not need to see the owners, but pet(s) will need us. See more
