This would be my dream job working with her!

Good Afternoon everyone!
This afternoon I spoke with All IV Paws. I confirmed that they service just about all the areas that I also covered. I informed Pat, the gentleman I spoke with, that I was closing down and would be recommending his business to you all. We will work together to make sure that all of your pets get the care they need. He has my cell number and can call me at anytime with questions. Again, I want to thank you all for being so supportive and understanding as I close the business I absolutely adored down. This may not be the end but if I were to return I would let all of you know!!

17/04/2023

Hi Everyone. I just wanted to make sure I give updates as I go. The business will officially be closed as of 4/30. The numbers attached to the business, excluding my personal cell, will no longer be active. If anyone has any questions please reach out to me. I will leave this business page up until 5/1.

10/04/2023

Good Morning everyone,

I have been back and forth with myself the past week or 2 over this decision but my family needs me. It is with a sad heart that I announce I will be closing my business. I am going to finish out this month as best I can but there are some days I will have to clear for personal reasons. There were many factors involved in my decision but the main one being my children. I love this job and I have come to look at your pets as my babies as well. With that being said, this business has consumed my life and my brain space. I may be back in the future and I’ll reach out to everyone and help find care for their pets the best I can.
I want to thank you all for the past few years. I’ve met so many amazing people and I have learned more than I ever could’ve imagined. Thank you all for allowing me to care for your pets and make them feel safe during a process they fear or dislike. If anyone has any questions or concerns please feel free to message me and we can discuss them and future steps for you and your pets.
Thank you all and I’m sending love to all of you!

Good morning everyone!! I have decided to return a week early as there’s a lot of catch up to play! I have tried to keep note of all appointments that need to be rescheduled so I will be reaching out to reschedule as many as I can. If you need an appointment ASAP please message me here so that I can put you in the priority list.
The changes to the schedule will drastically limit the available spots but I will work with you all as best I can. Again, I can’t thank you all enough for being so understanding and patient with us during this chaotic time.

Hello everyone!

This time off has been wonderful for me. Although I am healing from a major surgery I have also had the opportunity to really be with my family and myself. That being said, I have realized that this business has taken a major toll on my family and my mental health. I love all of my animals and their wonderful owners please know that. I just realized that I do not get to leave work, I am working all the time. My kids need a mom and my husband needs a wife. This all being said I am NOT CLOSING the business but instead making changes to hours for myself.
My new hours of operation for myself will be
Tuesday-Friday: 3pm-5pm (Chances of earlier appointments could be possible)
One weekend a month
Summer hours will be a little different and will be announced as we get closer. I expect a little more availability for summer but weekends will remain once a month from here on out.
I understand that is not a lot of time for appointments and it will be inconvenient for many but my family and my mental health have to be at my forefront right now.
Thank you to all of you for your support.

Good afternoon everyone.

Due to the loss of a very close family member Chantel will be taking an extended leave of absence. All future appointments until April will be canceled. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause everyone and I hope you can understand. I will return in April from my medical leave and will reach out to everyone for rescheduling upon my clearance to return. I thank you all for your patience and support this far.

Good Morning everyone
I have some unfortunate news. Appointments for this weekend will have to be rescheduled. There has been a death in her family so Chantel will need some time. I hope you all understand and I apologize for any inconvenience this causes anyone. I will reach out to cancel individually as well.

I thank you all for your patience and understanding during this difficult time and I ask that you continue that patience. Come April there will be more availability for appointments as I’ll be returning.

Good Morning everyone. Christine here just wanted to say a couple of things. Chantel has been doing great! I’ve kept up with the appointments and kept in contact with her to make the process easier. This is her 2nd job and she is killing it!! That being said, she does also have an I’ll family member and some home emergencies going on right now so please be patient if she has to reschedule anyone. She loves working with your pets but in this business I always make sure we put our families first.
Thank you all for your continued patience and I can’t wait to come back in April to see you all!

25/02/2023

Hello everyone. I just wanted to let you all know the surgery went good and I am in recovery!

07/02/2023

Good afternoon everyone. I will be reaching out to my appointments for the next 2 days personally but I just wanted to update everyone. I have decided to not work this upcoming week before my surgery. With the advice of my doctors I am taking these next few days to prepare myself and my home. I will reschedule everyone under Chantel. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone and I hope you all understand.

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on. Many of you know I have been waiting for surgery. I am due to have my surgery 2/10 and will be out until early April. I am leaving you in great hands with my new employee Chantel. We have a few more weeks of training and she will be ready to come clip your pets nails! If you have an appointment in the next few weeks with me there's a chance she will also be there for you to meet in person.
With that being said, these next few weeks I do have quite a few appointments available for all areas. If you would like an appointment before I go into surgery please let us know or you can click on the contact us link on this page to book online!
Thank you all for your continued support. I will keep everyone updated as to a return date but in the meantime Chantel will be a wonderful person to help you and your babies!

Update: Daisy had gone to a wonderful home! Thank you all who were interested.

Hey everyone!
This beautiful girl is named Daisy. She is a sweetheart but unfortunately her owners have to rehome her. She is up to date on shots, great with kids and other dogs, she’s 6 years old and is microchipped. Daisy is a purebred Husky and comes with all paperwork. If you have room in your heart and home for this beautiful girl please let me know!

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you all are staying warm on this chilly day. I am looking to hire on another employee! This job requires you to have your own vehicle but allows you to make your own schedule. If you’re interested please message me or send me an email at [email protected].

Hi everyone,
I have set up a temporary online booking system until I can get a website up and running. If you click the "contact us" button it should take you right to the booking site. If you have any questions please let me know!

Good Morning everyone! I have come across a local small business that I have to share with you all. The Biscuit Guy makes all natural dog treats that your pups will love! He has 2 different flavor treats with different size options to buy as well as decorated cookies. Being all-natural most people would think they probably cost a pretty penny but they don't! 1 of their 6oz bags only costs $8.95! If you want to support your local small business than this is one I would highly recommend!

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has had a good summer and beginning of school. I am going on a camping trip this weekend with my family so will be unavailable. If I do not respond to messages this weekend I will get back to you come Monday afternoon. I will be having someone training with me for the month of September and she will be accepting appointments come October.

Good evening everyone. I have a female mama cat in need of a home. She has to stay with her kittens for a few more weeks but she will need a home as well. She’s about a year old and was an outdoor cat. She will need to be fixed if she is to be an outdoor cat. Very friendly. Not 100% sure how she would be with another cat as she hasn’t had a length of time in a home with multiple cats. Good with kids too. If anyone would like any more information or if you’re interested in taking her please let me know!

10/08/2022

Good morning everyone just a couple of announcements.
1. I now accept card payments. If you’re paying with a card there is an additional fee.

2. I have openings for Marlborough and surrounding towns for this Sunday 8/14. Available times are 9:30, 10 and 10:30. If anyone is interested please reach out to me and I will get you on the schedule!

3. You will now be receiving a form to fill out prior to our appointment. With state guidelines and recommendations we now have a form that will cover everything that is needed. I will send the link to the form prior to our appointment. If you have any questions about the form please let me know!
I hope everyone is having a good summer so far. With school right around the corner I can’t believe how fast summer has gone. I plan on doing a couple of specials for the holiday season as well as adding on a few additional items to my services offered. Keep an eye out for updates!!

09/08/2022

Update: all spots are full for this week.

Good afternoon! I hope you are all keeping cool during this intense heatwave. I have some open spots for tomorrow in the Enfield area if anyone is interested. Available spots are: 2:30 and 3pm. If interested please text/message me and I will put you in!
Also please remember that I’m this heat our pets should not be outside for long or walked on any form of concrete. Best way to test is it’s too hot is to take your foot and put it on the concrete. If you can’t keep your foot on it than it’s too hot for your pet too.

03/08/2022

Good Morning everyone! Thank you all for your patience these last few weeks. I have had to cancel and reschedule quite a few appointments due to myself and my family being sick. We are on the mend and should be better in the next day or so. I am going to work on rescheduling everyone today. I just wanted to express my gratitude for your patience and understanding!
