A paws-itive pet experience!
Pet care experience
I love animals and Rover is a great way for me to spend time with them! I grew up with dogs and am now the proud pet parent to a 3 year old cat. I will provide your pets with the highest level of care, as if they are my own. I can check in on animals at every life stage: from kitten and puppy through seniors. I have experience caring for animals with both separation anxiety and territorial behaviors. I can administer feline inhalers along with oral, transdermal, and topical medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for animals with FIV, stomatitis, kidney disease, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. I am familiar with digital and analog programmable pet feeders. I am currently insured as a sitter with Pet Care Insurance (PCI).
Reviews
Chelsea is WONDERFUL! I had to leave my Corgi from early morning until evening. She gave him breakfast and dinner, made sure he had plenty of water, took him on three nice walks, and then played with him! He was so happy!!! She took pictures of him playing with his poofy ball and even left me a photo of him with his leash when she left in the evening. A day before, she came to meet Fenwick and took him on a walk to make sure he felt secure and relaxed with her. She’s terrific!
Right before our 4 day trip, we unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our older cat Grizelda. We couldn't cancel our trip despite concern of leaving our younger cat by himself, who was quite bonded with Grizelda. Chelsea was able to stop by twice a day, giving us much needed piece of mind during this difficult time. I can't recommend Chelsea enough, she takes such great care of our cat and provided some truly excellent photos as well.
Chelsea always does a great job taking care of my cat while I’m away. She is so patient and caring for my cat that can be very particular and a bit sassy. Highly recommend!
Chelsea was fantastic! She took excellent care of our two cats. She played with them a lot, sent great pics, and reported daily on their ongoing. She regularly checked in with us too. At no point did we worry if our boys were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring her again!

A typical day with a cat will include properly feeding and refilling water bowls/fountains, scooping and tidying the litterbox area, administering any medications if necessary, grooming as needed, and socialization at the discretion of the cat, of course. A typical day with a dog will include feeding and refilling water bowls, a walk/bathroom break, administering any medications if necessary, grooming as needed, and playtime to match the pups' energy level and personality. I will not visit any dog parks.
