Pet care experience

I’m Chelsea and my husband John & I are seasoned, insured, professional pet sitters and animal lovers. We’ve been pet sitting on Rover together for ten years and we love it. This is our full time job, so we’ll always be able to prioritize your pet’s needs. We’re passionate about pet care-whether you’re in need of walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in your home. We’ve made some of the best memories and meaningful, long lasting relationships with our clients. There is nothing more relieving than knowing that your pet is safe, getting well taken care of, lots of love- and having a great time while you are away. We are trustworthy and dependable. We truly treat our pet clients with the same love and care that we treat our own. We’re photographers so we love sending the best photos with detailed updates of your pet. We frequently hear from pet owners, “I don’t think they missed me at all.” We’d love to meet you and your pet family and see if we’re a great match. Besides pet care, we have lots of experience as house sitters. We’re both super attentive and communicative, and will treat your home with the utmost respect. We both have experience in property management and John is a long time handy repair man. Collecting mail, watering plants, and taking out trash bins are included. Feel free to let us know if you have any other requests. Please only reach out if you’re a non-smoking household, thanks. Please disclose any pet behavioral information in your message beforehand to help us gather if we’re a good fit. We do not accept new clients until we have a meet and greet. Please let us know any possible safety measures or concerns about entering your home (some pups are protectors) so we can guarantee our safety and have a successful meeting. (Treats, going around the block first to bond etc).

Chelsea and John took great care of our dog Sammy while we were away. They communicated with us every day and sent lots of photos and videos. Our dog is a very picky eater but with Chelsea and John he ate quite well; Sammy felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend Chelsea and John.

Chelsea and John were very considerate, kind, and took really great care of my pup!! Even helped me out in a bind during the snow storm. My pup was a happy camper and I was relieved to have someone watch her during the unplanned snow storm. I will definitely use their services again.
