Happy to help: Dog Caretaker
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs since I was very young, having grew up with golden retrievers. As I got older, neighbors and family friends would trust me with their pups. Now, I am known as the primary canine caretaker among all my friends with dogs of their own. I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and ages. I have experience with puppies (8 weeks or older), as well as senior pups. I have stayed with pets overnight, looking after them for multiple days or weeks, and doing anything from walking, feeding, bathing, cleaning up after them, taking them to vet/grooming appointments, and taking them to dog parks.
Reviews
Chelsea is always dependable, communicative and leaves our house spotless. We’re happy to know our dog is in good hands when we leave him with her.
Amazing job with my old pup took her on walks and she was happy as can be coming home. Highly recommend!!
Chelsea was the perfect dog sitter! Our pup very clearly had a fun and comfortable day, and our house was very clean. Regular updates and great communication made us feel confident Millie was getting great care and attention. Will be booking again!
Chelsea was a great sitter for my dog Layla! She gave us updates and made sure to keep Layla stimulated throughout the day

I am extremely respectful of the rules you have set for your pup. If you have certain routines or commands you need them to follow, I make sure to continue that when you are gone. I love going on long walks with pups, ranging from 1-5miles (can be longer depending on time!), and can run with them too if needed (they will need to be trained to run prior to my running with them). I prefer to watch dogs in their own home, as it is most comfortable for them and my apartment is small. I make sure to send updates as frequently as you would like, with plenty of photos so you don't have to miss them. Most of all I love making sure dogs are happy and having fun when I'm around. I know how much you care for your pups and want you to know they are in reliable, caring hands. Just a note I am very allergic to cats so I only house sit for pups currently. However, I do still offer dog walking and drop in visits for homes with both cats and dogs!
Information Chelsea B. would like to know about your pet
If I am taking your dog outside the house I need to know a few things to make sure we can have a fun and safe outing: 1. how they are around other dogs- are they super friendly, timid, aggressive, etc. when a dog walks by? 2. how they are around people- are they good with kids? do they get aggressive around certain types of people? do they tend to jump on people when they say hi? 3. if they have had any negative encounters while out before- I don't want to recreate any negative experiences so please let me know who/what/where of what happened so I can make sure your pup stays safe!
A typical day
I love going on walks with pups and taking them to areas like Green Lake and Carkeek park, and other trails around the Seattle area. I am also comfortable taking them to dog parks if they have good re-call and are good with other dogs. If there is a special place you like to walk/take your dog- Let me know so I can take them there!
Services
Chelsea can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home full time, with the availability for flexible work scheduling. My preference would be to help with mid day (lunch time) or late afternoon walks. I can also watch anytime on the weekends.
