Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs since my family adopted our first dog back in 2007. Since then, I’ve owned and worked with three different labs (yellow, chocolate, and black - the whole set!). I’ve had experience caring for them at both puppy age and into their senior years, so I am able to accommodate pups of all ages. I’m very familiar with all aspects of care - including the rough stuff. I’ll treat your dog as my own, and will gladly send many pictures/updates for you while they’re in my care.
Reviews
Chelsea was wonderful with Betsy and Lola! She was incredibly reliable, communicative and, most importantly, caring. When Lola (who's 13) wasn't interested in eating, she checked in with me and started adding some treats to make her food more exciting. I appreciated the all the pictures and detailed updates after each visit. Chelsea is great and I highly recommend her!
Chelsea was great! She communicated well with detailed and prompt messages. My pup seemed to absolutely love her. I would hire Chelsea again.
My dog absolutely loves Chelsea and she is wonderful with him! She has a special connection with all of the animals she meets and she is incredibly patient and caring.
We're very picky about who we trust with our dog and we trust Chelsea. She's really good with him and with us. She's friendly, reliable, and very easy to work with & talk to. Most importantly, our dog adores her and she clearly adores him. We don't worry about our dog at all when he's with her.
About Chelsea M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with dogs who have struggled with traumas, having volunteered at an animal shelter and pet sitting for friends. It’s very important to me to form strong trust between myself and animals, which is why I suggest a meet and greet before care begins. I also am experienced in what to do in case of emergencies, and have a lot of knowledge of the veterinary clinics nearby the Boston area, should an emergency arise. I also have experience with training, and if your dog needs help working on something (walking on a leash, crate training, etc) I am happy to help!
Information Chelsea M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is reactive, especially on walks, because I would like to meet them before hand to see if my care is a good fit for your pup. I do have some experience with walking a moderately reactive dog. Please also let me know if your dog has any special needs or traumas that I should be mindful of. Thank you!
A typical day
If your dog is more of an active pup, I’m happy to take them to the park. Near to my apartment, Amory Park is a great place for dogs who love other dogs and don’t mind being around kids. If your pup is more of an introvert, I am happy to take them on solo walks, where I can do training if needed. I can also help provide mental stimulation from lick mats, kongs, and making sure your pup gets to check out lots of new smells.

I currently am in school in Boston. During the summer, my availability is super free. I am typically around on both weekends and weekdays. During the school year, I have classes on Mon, Tues, & Thurs, but may be able to accommodate your pet on those days, depending on the exact timing.
