Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment to keep them happy and stress-free. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and take care of any medication needs with careful attention. I love engaging pets with playtime, walks, and plenty of affection—always respecting each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I also keep their living space tidy, clean up litter boxes or backyard areas, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return.

Information Chelsea M. would like to know about your pet

I love to get to know each pet parent and their animals. Please let me know what specific needs your animal has, and we can create a schedule that would keep a calming routine for your baby.

A typical day

When caring for your beloved cat or dog, I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and loving companionship to keep them happy and healthy while you're away. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy level—whether it’s a brisk stroll around the neighborhood, a fun game of fetch in the yard, or interactive play with toys to burn off energy. For cats, I engage in interactive play using toys like feather wands, laser pointers, or balls to satisfy their hunting instincts and provide exercise. I also ensure to spend quiet time offering affection and attention based on their comfort level. Above all, I give each pet personalized care, making sure they feel safe, loved, and never lonely. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, calm companionship, or energetic playtime, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention they’d receive from you.

Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!

Chelsea watched my two dog over the past weekend while I was away with friends. I was really happy with her sweet demeanor and attention to detail when caring for them. Will be booking again!

Chelsea is the most thoughtful and loving person I know and cares about all creatures, great and small! I've personally seen her nurse baby mice back to health and protect a mother mourning dove nesting in her backyard. She's the only person outside of my husband and I that our scaredy cat feels brave enough to spend time with. Cat and dog whisperer both, Chelsea will take the time to get to know every animal she works with and tailor every interaction to their preferences. Book Chelsea, your pets will thank you!

Chelsea took care of our cat Brody for the weekend a few weeks ago and everything went stupendously! She was cordial, responsive, and helpful. Our baby was well taken care of :)
