Committed & energetic caregiver
Pet care experience
I love all animals, especially dogs & cats! I have 7+ years of experience of pet-sitting, as well as caring for my own family's dogs. I once pet sat fourteen animals at once in a household so I'm up for a challenge. I speak pet very well & I am an expert ear scratcher. In all seriousness, I'm energetic, responsible and want to care for your furry loved ones. Added Bonus: Scooby Doo has always been one of my all-time favorites so I've always had a love for animals! My family had a Border Collie/Cocker Spaniel Mix named Tobey growing up & now an Australian Shepherd named Winnie. I am auntie to two great pups: Malibu (5 years old) and Josi (3 years old). I would love to have a pet of my own, but I’m enjoying taking care of my friends, family’s and client’s animals in the meantime. I hope to take care of your pet(s) as you would yourself!
Reviews
Chelsea was fabulous with my 2 doodles! They love her so much! She also sent me a ton of pics because I missed them. Highly recommend !
Chelsea did a fantastic job with my hound. She followed all my requests and suggestions for taking care of my dog. My hound is high energy and likes to go on lengthy walks and/or runs and demands time outside. She took my pup on park trips and trails which was much appreciated for taking care of my high energy pup. I would highly recommend her.
Amazing! I will definitely use her again & again!
I have booked Chelsea for dog sitting in my home several times and will be rebooking in the future as well. She did a great job caring for my 14 year old Maltese, who is extremely anxious and has early stages of dementia. She kept me informed on how her stay was going and sent a lot of pictures!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m a very cautious and cuddly caregiver! I really love hanging out with your animals when I’m watching them, and spending time with them as much as I’m able. Safety for your pet is my first priority. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door. I can crate your pet if necessary, but will need a crate provided.
Information Chelsea F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what normal routines are for your animal (feedings, walking/playing, sleep habits, medicine, behavior habits). I want to know if your pet (specifically dog) is potty trained, and how long they can wait in between bathroom breaks. I also would like to know how your pet is with other animals in case we encounter another dog or cat on a walk. The more information the better! I like to be as prepared as possible!
A typical day
We will go on walks to local parks or around the neighborhood. My favorite parks in Nashville are McCabe and Two Rivers. I would look up places for us to go beforehand, as well as ask the owner what their normal walking routine or pathway is. I think fetch & tickles are the best ways to keep a dog enterained, but mostly showing them lots of love. We could also practice skills such as sit, positive reinforcement, rollover, shake or whatever you as an owner have been working on etc. I like to keep your pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible. I’d love to take your animal to the Two Rivers Dog Park if they are used to that.

Availability
I currently work full-time in Franklin, TN at an event venue. My job schedule does vary from week to week, which is why I took a break from Rover in 2022 to really get acquainted with my work. However, now that I’ve been here for more than a year and I’ve recently been sitting for friends pets this year, I’m ready to get back to it and meet/take care of some sweet new furry friends! I typically work 10-15 hour event days on Saturdays (occasionally a Friday or Sunday too) so my saturdays are blocked off. The rest of my days are usually 9:30am to 4:30 pm in office (not including travel time) with some occasional concerts and corporate events sprinkled in. I would ideally prefer to watch animals on the weekdays that can go an 8ish hour workday without needing to use the restroom. I’m happy to stay at your home with your pets, or I can do drop in visits. I would stop by in the mornings before work, and then in the evenings after work! I have had clients that will sometimes book me for the week, and then have a friend or family member drop-in on their pet on a Saturday/event day that I’m unavailable for the week. I’m flexible as I know my schedule is non-traditional!! My typical days off are usually Sunday & Monday, but it does depend on the event week. My calendar will be updated with my availability! When you request booking, I will be upfront with my schedule for the week of your requested dates, and you can let me know if that works for you!
