Safety, trust & environment

Drop-ins: I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, litter or potty breaks, and any special requests. I take time to check on your pet’s comfort, provide attention or playtime, and leave your home just as I found it. I’m comfortable crating dogs if requested. Walks: Safety is always my top priority. I stay alert to surroundings, use secure handling at all times, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace, energy level, and comfort. I regularly walk my own dog in busy downtown areas, which has made me confident handling distractions and unexpected situations.

Information Chelsea M. would like to know about your pet

I love learning what makes your pet happiest! Please share their routine, feeding schedule, quirks, likes/dislikes, and any medical or behavioral notes so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. This can include neighborhood walks, park outings (if approved), interactive play, enrichment games, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your pet loves to stay active or prefers relaxed companionship, I make sure they feel happy, engaged, and cared for.

Pet care experience

Hey there! I’m an experienced Rover sitter with over a year and a half of hands-on pet care and several wonderful repeat clients. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve built into my daily life. With a passion for furry friends and a strong background in animal care, I’ve been working with animals for years—making tails wag and hearts melt along the way. What I Offer: 🚶‍♂️ Dog Walking: Thoughtful, tailored walks to keep your pup active and happy. 🏠 Drop-In Visits: Attentive care, companionship, and routine check-ins while you’re away. Experience: 🐱 Cat Whisperer: With 6 years of feline experience, I understand how to care for cats of all personalities. 🐬 Dolphin Trainer: Yes, really! I spent 5 years training dolphins, including work connected with the U.S. Navy. This gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, communication, and safety. 🏥 Veterinary Office Experience: I’ve also worked for 2 years in a veterinary office, gaining hands-on experience with animal health, medications, and wellness care. My Own Pup: 🐶 I’m also a proud pet parent to a playful young dog. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and routine, and I bring that same care to every pet I watch. A Quick Note for Pet Parents: I’m also a stay-at-home parent to an almost 1-year-old. On occasion, if my wife is working, my child may accompany me on drop-in visits or walks. He is calm around animals and can remain securely strapped in a stroller if preferred. I always respect each pet’s comfort level and am happy to discuss what works best for you—or schedule solo visits when needed. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Why Choose Me? 🌟 Professional, reliable, and detail-oriented care 🤝 Trustworthy, communicative, and respectful of your home and routines Let’s make sure your pets receive the attentive, loving care they deserve. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a great fit!

We had Chelsea back to check on our little guy. Again great communication and photos while we were away! So comforting to have someone we trust watch our nervous kitty while we are away! We will keep asking her back so long as she’ll have us!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
