Availability
I currently work full-time, so my weekday availability is a little more limited. I’m available for drop-ins and walks Monday–Friday in the mornings from 6–9 AM and in the late afternoon/evenings from 3–10 PM. I’m not available during the midday hours while I’m at work. I’m available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays! I’m working toward paying off my student loans from earning my Master’s degree 🎓, so I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I genuinely love—caring for and hanging out with animals 🐾 Please reach out with any questions about my availability. 😊

About Chelsea H.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very detail-oriented and will happily follow your family’s routines and preferences. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up after your pet, or even washing food bowls, I’m always happy to help! Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. If they love cuddles, I’m all in! If they’re ready to play, just point me to the toys. If they prefer their space, I’m just as happy to sit quietly nearby or simply stop in to care for them and head out. Whatever makes your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy! 🩷
Information Chelsea H. would like to know about your pet
The more information you share, the better! I love learning about your pet’s routine, favorite activities, personality, and what helps them feel their best. If they have any quirks, medical needs, special instructions, or restrictions, please let me know! I’m happy to follow your guidance and keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I love going on walks, giving pets and scratches, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and, most importantly, spending quality time with your pup! Whether your dog enjoys long walks, shorter outings with play breaks, or just wants cuddles and scratches, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs and your preferences. I’m flexible, attentive, and always happy to follow your lead. On hot days, I like to make sure your pup still gets plenty of exercise and attention while staying comfortable. For a 30-minute visit, I may split the time into two shorter walks or outdoor breaks, with some time inside for play, pets, and a chance to cool down.

Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m your friendly neighborhood teacher looking to love and help care for your pets! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, both personally and professionally, and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from puppies and kittens to senior and special-needs pets. I’m comfortable administering medications and carefully following your pet’s routine. I’m detail-oriented, love spending time with furry friends, and am happy to accept last-minute bookings when I can. I’d love the opportunity to care for your baby like they’re my own. 🩷 With me, you’ll get detailed Rover cards and tons of photos showing everything we did, how your pet is doing, and anything you need or want to know. 😊 Please reach out with any questions! I am always happy to schedule a Meet & Greet before booking.

Reviews
Chelsea was fantastic! She provided me with detailed updates each day and a plethora of pictures of my fur babies! My pets seemed to take to her really quickly. I would definitely rebook with her for future needs.
Chelsea was great with communication, photos, and messages! We felt like our cat was in GREAT hands, and we could really enjoy our vacation.
Chelsea took wonderful loving care of my senior dog. She was very patient and caring with my dog who has many senior issues. She gave me detailed notes about each visit with lots of photos. She spent extra time encouraging my dog to drink lots of water and eat her food. My dog had excellent care while I was away.
Chelsea is very nice & punctual - would love to work with her again
