“Excellent communication start to finish! Luie sent lots of photos and comments. Dogs were happy and well exercised. Neighbors commented on how happy the dogs looked and how engaging Luie was. I shouldn’t be leaving such a great review because now others will be booking Luie! 😂”

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior pets who may need extra patience, slow walks, or medication. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving plenty of enrichment and exercise, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. As a teacher and parent, I’m already used to having a structured schedule and balancing responsibilities. Pet care naturally fits into that rhythm—I start and end my days with plenty of time for walks, play, or check-ins, and I’m available after school hours, evenings, and weekends to give pets my full attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like “extra work” but rather a rewarding part of my week. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime (fenced yard), regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I make sure their routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, and exercise—stays consistent so they feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything as close to “normal” as possible. That means following your instructions carefully, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, giving walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for until you’re back.
“We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.”

About: Hi! My name is Brittany and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a special place in my heart for pups of all ages and personalities. I share my home with my own 12-year-old pitbull, who has taught me so much about patience, care, and understanding dogs’ unique needs—especially as they get older. Because I have a senior dog, I’m very attentive to things like comfort, routines, medications, slower walks, and making sure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company while you’re away, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m comfortable with strong breeds like pitbulls as well as shy dogs, energetic dogs, and seniors who just want a calm environment. You can expect regular updates, photos, and lots of love while your dog is with me. My goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and happy. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶
