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 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 most comfortable 🩷

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, and what helps them feel their best. If they have any behavioral quirks, medical needs, special instructions, or restrictions, just let me know—I’m happy to follow your guidance and provide the care they’re used to.

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. When it’s too hot, I like to spend the 30 minutes by taking your pet on two shorter walks/time outside with a break inside to play and pet them while they cool down.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m your friendly neighborhood teacher looking to love and care for your pets this summer! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life 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 oral and transdermal medications, breathing treatments, 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 detailing everything we did and anything you need or want to know 😊

Chelsea was a fantastic sitter!! She was very nice and responsive, and took great care of our cat (to include administering medication). Her notes and photos each day made us smile. Will book again!

Chelsea was wonderful! Extremely communicative and understood how to meet our dog on her level (she is shy). She was very flexible with such a sudden booking and was able to understand our instructions perfectly. Highly recommend booking her!
