Easygoing, Active & Playful Sitter
Pet care experience
I have been a Rover sitter since January 2017. Since beginning with Rover, I've sat for hundreds of pets, many with special needs and each with their very own personality! I've always loved being around animals. Although I grew up around dogs, I also love cats and recently adopted a bonded pair of cat brothers. I got my first pet, a white toy poodle named Muffin when I was 7 years old. She was warm, loving, playful, and bounding with energy. She could chase a tennis ball for hours and never get tired. Muffin's deepest wish was to finally catch one of those pesky squirrels that ate from the backyard bird feeder. Muffin only weighed 7 pounds, but she was 100% dog. She warmed my childhood and created treasured memories, but she also helped me to learn valuable life lessons about responsibility and friendship. I always do a meet and greet before a homestay so that you can get to know me and so can your pets. I think it makes the stay more comfortable for everyone. You can always reach me, day or night while traveling. I currently offer walks, drop-ins, and homestays. I'm a very communicative and active sitter. I send updates with pictures every day. I am very experienced with pets that have special needs. A lot of the pets I sit for are rescues, and many have anxiety, especially when their humans are out of town. Keeping a normal routine is key as well as having a calm, relaxed demeanor. I love a good puppy or kitty snuggle!
Reviews
As usual, Chelsea took excellent care of Neon. She took him on walks during both her drop in visits and gave us multiple updates. Thanks Chelsea!
Couldn't be happier with Chelsea. Received daily updates and we had long list of requirements for our two dogs. I also misread our flight times and she was quick to accommodate our revised schedule.
Chelsea was very careful and kind while watching my 3 dogs. Thank you, Chelsea!
Chelsea is a great pet sitter! She’s very communicative, works with you and is clearly knowledgeable on pets likes and dislikes. We appreciated the daily pictures and notes on what our pets were up to. I would definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone who is looking for pet care!

Safety, trust & environment
I come to you so that your pets are in their regular home environment while you travel, which is more calming for them. You have peace of mind knowing your space is being looked after. I also water plants, collect the mail, and do other minor tasks as needed.
Information Chelsea C. would like to know about your pet
Information about your pet's routine including wake-up time and bedtime, their likes and dislikes, and socialization needs are key to a happy stay. Food allergies and dietary needs are also important.
A typical day
I love to take long walks around the neighborhoods, around the Reston lakes, and to the park. I enjoy lots of playtime with dogs and kitties.
