Pet Sitting Chelsea

“Courtney was awesome! She communicated thoroughly from beginning to end. She was so sweet with my kitties and sent lots of pictures which made me feel better about being away.”

“Betsy is a great communicator. Loved the daily pictures and update. She provided drop in service to our puppy. She has lots of experience with dogs. Our puppy loved the visits. I was so relieved to find good care for him.”

“We loved having Karla check in on our pup while I was having a medical procedure out of state. I had an adverse reaction and had to stay an extra night and Karla saved our butts by being able to do an extra day! Very punctual and highly recommend using her!”

“Hadlie was excellent and very knowledgeable. She was able to address any anxieties we may have had and made sure to provide a thorough report of her visit with our dog Bee. Hadlie has excellent communication and responds quickly if we have any questions. We highly recommend her for your pets care!”

About: I've personally cared for multiple dogs and cats for most of my life. I've most recently provided in-home care for a number of pets on Trusted Housesitters along with my partner for the past three years. We have received consistent five-star reviews from pet owners. I've also cared for my own two small dogs, and am comfortable managing daily routines, exercise, and behavioral cues. Most recently, I've supported a senior cat with health issues during an acute period providing attentive monitoring and calm, consistent care. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to be present for walks, daily care, and lots of one on one attention on a regular basis. I live on a quiet two-acre country property with open space and low traffic dirt roads. The yard is not fenced so dogs are always supervised outdoors and kept on a leash for walks.

About: I'm a mature pet/house sitter who will take great care of your pets and leave your house as clean as you left it and perhaps cleaner. I stay at your house every night leaving only for errands or a lunch/dinner out. I enjoy getting your pet outside for walks and play. I have taken care of cats, goats, chickens, horses, a mule and a donkey, I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am retired so I am very flexible but prefer a few days notice, however if you need a pet/house sitter on a same day notice it's possible I can accommodate you. I have a minimum 2 night stay requirement, also, if you need just one evening that is a possibility as well, it just depends on where you are located. I will care for your pet in your home in the way that you instruct me to. If you have special commands I will need to know about them. If you would like to meet me before starting your job we can schedule a FaceTime chat or I can meet face to face with reasonable notice.

“Alexis was fantastic. 🙌 First time Rover users and she made everything so comfortable and professional. She took great care of our cat for 10 days and was truly on top of everything more than any sitter we’ve hired before. Thank you!!!”

“Marley loves her sitter. Shelli does a great job, especially with applying her thyroid medication in her ear twice a day. It takes a gentle hand and an understanding of animals. She has been so helpful and gave us a stress-free trip away knowing Marley is being cared for. Thanks again Shelli. We hope to use you in the future.”

“This is my first time using Rover to get a pet care giver. I am very satisfied with the result. I would come back to Julie for future needs of visits.”

About: I have experience with all types of temperaments and breeds in all phases of life. My approach towards dogs is that they should receive ample stimulation through individualized exercise needs, walks that allow for lots of sniffing, and play time that allows your dog to feel like they accomplished a mission! EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS: senior care, reactive dogs, fearful dogs, service animals, puppy training, grooming, nail trims, administering medications, general training PET SITTING EXPERIENCE - I have pet sit for many friends over the past few years. I have bonded closely with each of them and think of them each as my little friends! I am dedicated to providing timely potty breaks, ample and diverse stimulation, and exercise. I have experience administering medications, grooming, nail trimming, and training. REACTIVE DOGS - I helped train and raise my parents dog, a reactive rescue named Thunder. Through a gentle and persistent approach, I trained him to recall on demand, tamed biting tendencies, and blttust humans again. In his older years I have learned how to encourage eating following a medical event that left him with no appetite. - I also have experience pet sitting a high energy herding dog who needed minimum of a 2 hours of exercise per day an struggled with resource guarding. With patience, I helped train him to share toys and use his inside voice when he demands something! - When living in Cincinnati with my Shiba, we would spend 10+ hours per week at the local dog park. Here I learned de-escalation with aggressive and unpredictable dogs. SERVICE ANIMALS - In college I helped a friend train a Labrador from 8 weeks old to be a Leader Dog for the Blind. I learned how to crate train, potty train, stop at crosswalks, and train a dogs to be in public spaces through the use positive reinforcement and slow immersion of new situations. - My first (and current) dog is a Shiba Inu, a breed notorious for their stubbornness. I trained him like a service animal (although he is not registered) and he regularly goes to public spaces like crowded festivals, dog friendly music venues, and dog friendly businesses and if often complimented for his calm behavior and ability to sit patiently. I am a full time pet sitter who can do visits morning to evening Monday to Sunday. I travel often and only decline clients when I have a trip planned. I will tailor frequency and duration to your pets needs. I am able to provide all of the following: walks, play time, grooming, nail trims, administering medications, special requests, some training.

“Appreciate Dahlia’s communication about and care for our pup. We will definitely want her to come back when she is able. Fingers crossed for her vet school admission - she’ll be great.”

“Melissa was super friendly, Cheyenne enjoyed her presence immediately, she communicated well and sent lots of pictures! I will definitely choose her again! Thank you Melissa for loving Cheyenne and pearl while we were away!”

“Brianna is a very engaging young woman — wonderful with our rescue dog Flora and confidence-inspiring. We are very comfortable having her care for our dog and our home while we are away.”

“Chelsea is a reliable and caring pet sitter who goes the extra mile when taking care of pets. She was able to help us on short notice and we felt very assured that our cats were in good hands. She also gives great updates on the pets and responds quickly whenever we contact her. We plan to schedule more pet sitting with her and I would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have cared for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m also very dependable and will treat your dog like they’re my own. My background in healthcare has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive to details, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. I’ll be moving to Wyoming on October 5 for a short-term job as I prepare for graduate school, and I’ll have a very flexible schedule leading up to that. From September 16 through October 5, I’ll have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings during this time. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m a very responsible and attentive person, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, and anything else your pet needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Katie was a lucky connection for us. She took amazing care of our dog who ended up having a medical emergency during our trip. She was excellent to work with and took such good care of our dog. Thank you, Katie!”

Liz B.

“Lola immediately connected with Katie when they first met. We appreciate her dependability and communication.”

About: I grew up with dogs, as many do. I have experience with an anxious reactive dog, experience taking our dogs through behaviorists and trainers, and experience potty training a puppy. I have watched cats for a handful of friends and have checked in on dogs for other friends and family as well. I am starting with Rover and looking to make a little extra money. Each pet is different and each schedule is different. Reach out and we can talk about what your needs are. I prefer to do meet n greets if you have a pet with behavior concerns. I would care for pets in a client's home, depending on their preferences and needs. A check in would include a meal if needed, walk if needed, medication if needed, potty time if needed, and play time or snuggle time if needed.

“Olivia was thoughtful, communicative, timely, and so sweet with Brodie. I was stress free knowing she was the one giving Brodie some love every day when we were gone.”

About: I’ve been caring for loving animals since I was 11, and over the years, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and look after their pets with consistent compassion, patience, and genuine affection. I’m currently working part-time so I’m home throughout the week. I’m available to pet sit, dog walk or provide a midday potty break. Mostly during the week however my schedule is flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide gentle companionship, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away.
