Chelsea turned out to be just what Nugget needed on his first visit to her home. As a 13-year old dachshund, he has become attached to our company and his own territory; and he needs a time to adjust to new surroundings. Chelsea just let him stay in his own travel case until he was ready to come out and socialize with her dogs, and he apparently got more comfortable with her home and family. Nugget will be coming to Chelsea next for 5 days at Thanksgiving, and we are confident that he will do well there, thanks to Chelsea's patience and open acceptance of Nugget as he is.

Chelsea is one of my dog's favorite humans! She is one of the few people who gets his extra excited squeal-whimper when he sees her. When she dog sits for him, I always know I can rely on her to follow specific feeding instructions for his picky diet and to make sure that he gets plenty of snuggles and attention. My dog is a little guy (14 pounds) and I appreciate how she can manage a group of dogs of various sizes without incidents. I think she is good at noticing and responding to their doggie body language and so she anticipates and avoids potential tiffs. I most definitely recommend Chelsea at a pet sitter!
