Where Dogs Feel Loved
Pet care experience
I’ve fostered over 40 dogs, from newborn puppies to senior rescues, and every single one has left a pawprint on my heart. I’m the go-to person in our foster network for giving first baths to new rescues, and I specialize in helping puppies transition from chaos to comfort—through gentle training, structure, and tons of love. Animals have always been a central part of my life. When people ask if I have kids, I proudly say, “I have dogs.” My dogs are my family, and any animal that stays with me is treated like one of my own—spoiled, safe, and deeply loved. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my commitment. I don’t just watch animals—I nurture them. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup learn to trust or making sure a senior dog has the comfort and care they deserve, I pour my heart into every animal I meet. My home is calm, cozy, and designed with pets in mind, and I’m dedicated to making sure every dog that boards here feels like they’ve found a second home.
Reviews
Chelsea was amazing! She was available last minute to watch our dachshund and was very kind! She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos. Frank loved his time hanging out with her and her doggos!
Chelsea was the best sitter! She was well prepared for Queen’s stay with her and even had extra bedding, toys, and supplies that would be needed for her stay if I had forgotten to pack something. Chelsea my mind at ease by sending me pictures and giving me updates about Queen throughout her stay. When we got home yesterday, Queen slept all night until I woke her up this morning. We will definitely use Chelsea’s services again!
Chelsea is a true pet lover, and dedicates herself full to everything she does. She is excellent with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With nearly 20 years experience taking care of animals, there is no one else I would trust more to take care of my own dogs, an elderly Yorkie, and a hyper-affectionate Maltipoo forever puppy.
I’m not sure I’ve ever met a person that loved dogs so much. She’s taken cared and loved for both of my dogs multiple times while on vacations. Only person I trust with them. Would highly recommend

Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their routine as closely as possible—whether that means specific feeding times, walks, medication, or cuddle preferences. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, outdoor time, and stimulation throughout the day. I’m also experienced with crate training, puppy routines, and senior care, so I tailor my care to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether they love fetch or just want to nap in a sunny spot, I make sure they’re comfortable and happy from the moment they arrive.
Home
Information Chelsea A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behaviors I should know about—such as anxiety triggers, medical issues, food sensitivities, or training routines. My preference is for friendly, well-socialized dogs of any breed, especially those who enjoy being around other dogs and spending time outside. I want to make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me, so the more I know ahead of time, the better!
A typical day
We run, play fetch, explore the yard, and depending on the weather, they can cool off in their own little dog pool! I love making sure dogs stay active and engaged, so we spend lots of time outside when it’s nice—playing, sniffing, and just enjoying the sunshine. Inside, we have toys, puzzles, and plenty of cozy spots for naps and snuggles. I tailor activities based on each dog’s energy level and preferences—whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves playtime or a laid-back senior who just wants company and love. Every dog gets one-on-one attention and lots of fun!

Pet care is my daily and weekly routine. When I’m not at work, I’m with my dogs—whether that’s going for walks, playing outside, or snuggling on the couch. Every night when I get home, they are my first priority. I plan my evenings around their needs to make sure they’re exercised, mentally stimulated, and, most importantly, loved. Weekends are fully dedicated to them. We spend lots of time outside, staying active and enjoying fresh air together. I’ve created a home environment where animals feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Whether it’s my own dogs or ones I’m caring for, they’re never an afterthought—they’re the heart of my routine.
