Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are People too!
I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 P.S. Rover is my first experience charging for pet care and that’s why I don’t have many jobs posted or reviews. Previously I traded services or offered free. I have been a Trusted Housesitters member for over 6 years.

Ratings and reviews
Chelsea took excellent care of my late dog, Tommy many times. He always loved spending time at her house with her and her son, who is a very gentle soul and dog lover. And having known Chelsea with her dog Benny, I know what a great caregiver she is. It was always a no-brainer to have her care for my pup, and I know she'll take really good care of your pets too!
Chelsea is an absolutely wonderful care giver. I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver! She is responsible, trustworthy, loving, and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. She treats every dog like they’re her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with my pets! She makes sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and have a clean, comfortable, and safe environment. She is attentive to each dog’s individual needs, gives them lots of love and attention, and is always careful to follow their routines and any special instructions
Chelsea made an instant positive connection with my dogs. They can be excitable, and she was able to set boundaries to calm them while also making them feel loved. Chelsea is trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. My pets thoroughly enjoy their time with her. Yours will too!

Schedule
Right now, I’m working during the day, so my availability is primarily evenings, weekends, and holidays. Monday–Friday: Available after 6:00 PM for evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Weekends: Flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and boarding in my home. Holidays: Available for pet care, flexible. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home M-F when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I expect to have more daytime availability in the future!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. 🐾
A typical day
A typical day with a pet will be filled with attention, play, and plenty of opportunities for them to feel comfortable and happy. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, whether that means walks, playtime, exploring, cuddling, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing together. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and letting them lead the way - some enjoy lots of activity and games, while others prefer quiet companionship. I’ll also make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and receive any needed care. Most importantly, they’ll get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾
