I work from home, and love to take my calls on walks. I rise early and like a night walk too, so as long as there's a little flexibility, there is plenty of time to care for and hang out with your lovely pets too!

Information Chelsea G. would like to know about your pet

Dietary restrictions, temperamental foibles, sores or no touch zones, and the routine! What route do you normally take? How do they like to walk? I can usually figure it out, but starting places are good to know!

A typical day

Slow walks for sniffing, faster paces and fetch for those who like it, a good scritch, routine followed, conversation and occasional treats are standards, but if your dog has a character like mine, you know that being able to read them is more important than a basic typical day!

Pet care experience

I joined 4H to show & train dogs as a 5th grader. My golden won so many ribbons! I started agility as a hobby in grad school, and learned there may be downsides of using target training a Leonberger how to flip light switches and open doors. Now, with my Great Pyrenees mix, we greet kids as we go to and from school, read together, and walk the neighborhood.

Chelsea has walked our two dogs as well as watched them a few times when we’ve been on vacation. Our dogs both love Chelsea! She clearly knows dogs and we trust her completely to take care of ours. She’s also easy to communicate with, sends pictures, and just a good person. Highly recommend!

Chelsea is a mom of actual kids and a mom of a 4 legged kid as well-having had dogs all her life she is a skilled pet handler along with being intelligent & emotionally equipped to handle any situation so if she is your choice to care for your fur baby you’re in luck and you won’t regret it - pets adore her! Mine does!

You can tell Chelsea is an animal lover and very expert with dogs. She has had animal all her life and knows how to gain a dog trust. My dog loves to run in her garden as it offers a beautiful outdoor space. I have full trust in her care and watchful attitude, and appreciate the peace of mind I have when she cares for my beloved dog Dante.
