Safety, trust & environment

Prior childhood influenced by military environment, my personal safety is paramount to ensuring others are safe. Security cameras in/around your homes are encouraged for enhanced safety and protection. With your animals, I will ensure that no walks out of the backyard are off leash, keep up with regular commands your pet knows, ensure food regimen is followed, let out to backyard or walks outside 2x day minimum (unless pet is not leash trained,) provide ample love, rinse and replenish water daily, clean litter box daily with a complete refresh of the litter box monthly, and ensure all home security measures are followed while away.

Information Chelsea F. would like to know about your pet

Please share these five things upon requesting to book. 1. Signs/symptoms of health issues If your pets have a history of health issues, please share their signs and symptoms with their health conditions. 2. Allergies Allergies to the great outdoors, medication, or any other allergic reactions they’ve experienced. 3. Medication I require to know if your dog is taking medication, the dose and the frequency in addition to how they take it. 4. Past medical issues If they do have a history of a health issue (even if they have not had recent issues with their health condition now) please informed me so I can best prepare I’m the event of an emergency. 5. Last vet care The last time your pet has visited a veterinary facility for a check-up or any issue.

A typical day

I’m an early riser! I’m up at 04:00 to shower to get my day started before making breakfast w/tea afterwards I begin my work day; during this time I walk/feed/scoop litter/provide morning play time with your pets. I work until 14:00 (2:00 PM) where I take lunch, I assess the days progress and if I have not hit my quota then I continue to work until 18:00 (6:00 PM.) During lunch, to ensure your pet isn’t missing out on a snack, I feed them a treat from their designated treat bags and let them outside to potty before the evening with dinner. After arriving and playing in the early evening your pet will be fed before 20:00 (8:00 PM) unless they are accustomed to eat at a specific time - please indicate if so. Tuesdays I would love bring your outdoor equipped pet for an enriching outing, dog park, long hike, car ride adventure or simply around the area! IMPORTANT, please indicate that your pet is friendly or not friendly with other animals so I can take precautionary measures in selecting the outing. I frequent coffee shops for socializing with my friends and if your pet is great in public I would happily bring them along to social events, I ask that a backpack/bag be prepared before the pet sit begins with their required care items for outings.

Chelsea was great taking care of Mesut while I was gone. She updated me with photos and videos daily of him playing and also made sure to know when she was headed in to feed and check on him.

From the moment I met her, I knew I could trust her with the well-being of my Ollie-cat. Chelsea's love for animals shines through in everything she does. She is incredibly responsible and attentive, ensuring that Ollie received the utmost care and attention. She followed all of Ollie's feeding and medication instructions diligently, ensuring his health and happiness were never compromised. What truly sets Chelsea apart is her genuine affection for animals. She formed an instant bond with Ollie and showered him with love and affection throughout her time with him. Ollie, who can be quite reserved around new people, warmed up to Chelsea right away, which spoke volumes about her ability to connect with animals. During my absence, Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure Ollie felt comfortable and safe. She spent quality time playing with him, providing companionship, and even sent me regular updates and adorable pictures to keep me reassured. I couldn't have asked for better care for my fur baby. Not only is Chelsea a reliable and loving caregiver, but she is also highly professional. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and left everything in impeccable condition. Her commitment to excellence and her genuine passion for pet care are truly remarkable. If you're looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver, I wholeheartedly recommend Chelsea. With her dedication, experience, and love for animals, she will undoubtedly provide exceptional care for your pets. I'm grateful to have found her and will continue to entrust my pet's well-being to her without hesitation. Chelsea’s devotion and commitment to Ollie’s happiness and welfare are truly commendable.

Chelsea has looked after my cat Kahlua several times whenever I have left town. She is clearly very affectionate towards my pet. She is good about keeping me updated with pictures and videos. She also keeps to a schedule well. She helped keep up with my training routine for Kahlua. Chelsea was able to use a treat reward system to train her to be backpack-carrier trained which is a skill I still use. Chelsea had also mentioned to me a strong background of being around foster dogs. I have seen her watch several dogs for friends over the years, all of which she has showen the same level of affection towrads as my cat. I would reccomend Chelsea to both dog and cat owners.
