Loving Pet Care While You’re Away

Hi! I’m Chelsea, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a year and a half old mix named Jake, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, training, and making sure dogs get the physical and mental enrichment they need. I take pet care seriously and always aim to create a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets feel comfortable. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. My background working in behavioral health has also given me a lot of patience, awareness, and the ability to stay calm in different situations—skills that translate really well to working with animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect: • Lots of attention and supervision • Updates and photos while you’re away • Respect for your pet’s routine and training • A calm and caring environment I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family while you’re gone.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and supervision while you’re away. I respect my clients’ homes and always keep things clean, provide regular updates and photos, and communicate promptly if anything comes up.

Ive known Chelsea for many years now and I would trust her with anything, especially my pets. She is not only a great pet care-giver, she is a really good person. She has watched my dog, Harley, a handful of times in the past and Harley still gets very excited to see her every time. Its an absolute joy to see this level of love that someone can give to our fur-babbies.

Chelsea has taken care of our dogs several times. They are always well taken care of. We never had a worry with her in charge.

Chelsea and I worked together to train her wonderful dog and during that time she demonstrated nothing but love and kindness for her furry companion, she consistently worked hard and handled her dog expertly! It was very apparent she would do anything for her dog, let her do the same for yours!

Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or health concerns. It’s also helpful to understand their temperament, comfort level with new people, and whether they have any triggers such as other animals, loud noises, or certain situations. I also appreciate knowing their favorite activities, toys, and any training cues they respond to so I can keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
