Dog-loving recent grad!
Pet care experience
Hello! While I have never had a dog of my very own, I always love the chance to play with the dogs of my friends and neighbors, and making them feel loved and comfortable. I've cared for family pets on and off since I was in high school, doing both drop-ins and overnights for dogs of all ages and sizes. I enjoy taking them on long walks just as much as a rousing game of tug-o-war or snuggling with them while I read, and I'm more than happy to take some time for brushing or bathing when needed. My aim is to let your dog feel like they're with family, whether I'm just dropping in during the lunch hour or hanging out with them for an overnight stay, and I want you as the owner to feel confident leaving them in my enthusiastic and capable care.
Reviews
Chelsea is the best. My dogs love her. She is very attentive and always flexible with her schedule
Chelsea is very flexible with last minute scheduling and with my job lots of things pop up or change at the last minute. I appreciate her always being able to work with me
Bella can be very hard to deal with. She is a big puppy with a lot of energy and I have to commend Chelsea once again for taking care of her. Some of my friends are even afraid to visit just due to her size and some of her misbehaviors we are working on.
Chelsea is a very responsive sitter who is willing to work with puppies. As a Rover sitter myself, I find this to be hard to find, especially with giant breeds. As I have learned more about my dogs (Cane Corsos) and their fierce loyalty, I have found only a few dog walkers and sitters willing to take all a giant puppy has to give. Chelsea is one of these sitters :D. I have already booked her again for my next trip. Also, my 10 month old puppy had some separation anxiety issues while I was gone due to a kennel stay where I am sure she was mistreated. Chelsea communicated these to me effectively and when she realized these were not “typical puppy behaviors”, she even offered to do some walks before the next overnight, to make my baby more comfortable with her. And even showed up for that walk even though I had forgotten to confirm on my end prior to the walk. That is dedication and caring. I was really impressed with her ability to work with the issues that arose, as I expected my youngest to be her normal nondestructive self. I highly recommend booking Chelsea!

Skills
Information Chelsea H. would like to know about your pet
I'm always inclined to introduce myself to the dogs I encounter on my walks, so it's important to me to know if the dog in my care is shy or uncomfortable around new dogs so that I can be aware and carefully avoid situations that could make your pets nervous. I also like to know a little about a dog's personality when I meet them--is it better that I wait for them to come to me? Or are they excited to meet new people? I want your dog to be comfortable and confident when I'm around!
A typical day
My favorite places to walk are the Garden District and Magazine Street areas, but I am always up for exploring new dog-friendly neighborhoods. I also love to spend time running dogs around the yard or the park so I can learn their favorite games, toys, and tricks.
