Pet care experience

Loved by many! The best choice.

Hello! My name is Chelsea. As a former dog owner for over a 13 years to two well-behaved and well-trained shih tzus, I have the skills and the experience necessary to provide exceptional pet care experience. Since moving to Seattle, I am actively looking for opportunities to provide a loving, diligent and caring experience to other pet owners in need of help. What I provide is attentive detail to your dog's needs and reassurance that those needs will be met in a timely manner. I have accumulated experience walking dogs in Baltimore City (previous home!) and I will take that learning experience to provide the best care that I am able to give. More importantly, I provide amazing belly rubs! During the week, I am available during the evenings for walks. On the weekends, I have open availability for dog walks and boarding. I hope to meet your furry friend soon!

Chelsea did an amazing job with Merlin. She was very thoughtful, attentive, and understanding with a variety of situations that came her way during his visit. I would highly recommend Chelsea for overnight boarding.

Chelsea was amazing and so flexible as our travel plans changed and we had to cancel our stay. She talked to rover support and made it right for us. My puppy is an anxious girl and she warmed up quickly to hear. We are seeing this as a trial run and will definitely be using her again!!

I picked up a happy dog after Chelsea dog sat for me. She sent me pictures and followed my instructions. I will definitely be using her again!

She took great care of my dog for the weekend, was flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off, and knowledgeable and understanding about my pets specific concerns!

Schedule

I’m currently working full-time, primarily working from home and going into the office 1-2 days a week. Therefore, I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time, and whatever else is needed for your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment that is thoroughly cleaned before the arrival of your dog to make sure they don’t have access to any food or objects that could become potentially hazardous.

A typical day

I live in a very walkable neighborhood! I love dog walking because it helps me get extra exercise, so I will gladly take long sniff walks with your dog and/or play fetch. I have worked with highly energetic dogs (border collie) to less energetic dogs (Shih Tzus), so I’ve learned to accommodate a range of activity levels.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should account for. It would be helpful to know typical feeding schedule (and other dietary needs), bathroom schedule, medications, and any unique behaviors I should know about!
