Safety, trust & environment

It is of the upmost importance to me that I respect my client’s homes; the best way I’ve found to do that is to listen to what your preferences are, so I make sure I have a clear understanding of the boundaries that should be respected. My baseline goal is always to leave a home better than I found it, just like my mom taught me!

Chelsea is the best! She takes care of our four pups like they were her own. I could tell from the photos that they were content and well taken care of. She gives them all her attention. When her time is up, she cleans the house and puts everything in better order than we left it.

Chelsea is incredibly responsive, reliable, and easy to communicate with. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals, and she took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!

By far the best dog and house sitter we have ever had. Our dog Coco was clearly so in love with her. She took Coco to the early morning dog walking group per her usual schedule every day and the other dog walkers said she was absolutely lovely. She sent us regular pics and updates. She left our house clean and was super respectful of our space. We are so incredibly pleased and will be requesting her services again in the future!

Chelsea was so kind and truly cared about my pup's wellbeing. She communicated when he was being difficult about his meds, immediately called me when the fire alarms went off in the complex and took my pup out, and even washed the sheets! Thank you, Chelsea!

Chelsea took amazing care of our fur baby while we were away for spring break and he had the absolute best time! From sunset walks along the Bay Trail to endless cuddles on the couch, he was spoiled just as much as he usually is. On top of the top-tier pet care, she looked after our house as if it were her own. It was wonderful to return to a home that was perfectly tidy and even more peaceful than we left it. We can’t recommend Chelsea enough, she’s a true professional and a genuine animal lover.
