“The New York Times highlights the pioneering role of Mélanie Gauthier Knopp, who has become a reference as a 'dog concierge': an expert capable of coordinating every aspect of the daily lives of pets travelling with their owners: feeding, outings, and even massage sessions.”
“The British tabloid also turns its attention to this new trend: pets increasingly present alongside their owners at major events, illustrating the growing interest of the international press in animal welfare and the pioneers of the sector.”
Our commitment
If the press talks about us, it is also because Pet Chéri carries a message that goes beyond a simple service: a new standard in the way we care for our companion animals.
We are all crazy dog moms here.
Our animals are family members: their well-being deserves the same attention, rigour and kindness that we give to a loved one.
Choosing who looks after your pet is never a minor detail. Every Pet Chéri mission is entrusted to a dedicated concierge with veterinary or behavioural training.
Not declared: that is the whole purpose of our network of certified carers, supported by partner vets and behaviourists.
Our ambition is to make a quality of service previously reserved for a privileged few accessible everywhere in France and beyond.
Thank you to all the media who trust us and carry our voice.
Pet Chéri, the trusted concierge for your pet.
