Pet CPR Certified Dog & Cat Lover!

Pet care experience

I have much experience caring for and working with dogs (and cats and aquarium life). I have been a foster parent for dogs and cats either too young or too sick to be adopted right away. I have also worked in dog daycares where I got certified in Pet CPR by the American Red Cross. Finally, I have much experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for individual families which I'd be happy to provide references for. All of these experiences make me comfortable working with any breed and size dog, as well as those with behavior quirks, requiring medication or puppies and elderly dogs that need a bit extra guidance. Another added bonus is my "day job" is entirely remote as a content developer for an energy efficiency consulting company. So unlike most people who would need to be out of the house from 9-5pm, I can give your dog extra attention since I can work from your home, assuming their is reliable wifi connection. I'm willing to travel a bit further across Maine for house-sitting because of this as well.

Chelsea as always was outstanding with my special needs dog. It’s hard to find someone I trust with my dog, but Chelsea makes me feel like my pittie is in safe, experienced, loving, caring, hands. She even takes her on little car rides in the morning for a treat, so sweet!

As I said, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they are less stressed. I'm also happy to take them in my car to parks, the beach, or even just a simple but beloved car ride! We can discuss this during our meet and greet if this is something that interests you.

Information Chelsea A. would like to know about your pet

See above. I have no breed preferences, just would appreciate knowing specific quirks that may set a dog off. (as I've experienced working with shelter dogs that had abusive pasts). Any and all questions are usually cleared up in the first conversation.

A typical day

I'd be happy to stick to whatever routine your dog is most comfortable with. I like to learn the route normally taken on walks, normal order of morning activities etc. to be sure there is little upset in his/her "normal" life as possible.
