Your Pup’s New Favorite Walking Bud
Hi! I’m Chelsea, a Medford-area pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m very active and love getting outside for walks, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a quick check-in, or companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Because I’m active and enjoy getting outside, dog walking fits naturally into my routine and I love incorporating it into my day while helping pets get the exercise and attention they need. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. What you can expect from me: • Reliable and on-time visits • Plenty of attention and exercise • Photo and message updates during every visit • A calm, patient approach with every pet Communication is very important to me, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes so you can feel confident your pet is happy and doing well. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s the perfect fit.

Ratings and reviews
Our pup had no hesitation to make herself at home when she arrived at Chelsea's house which was fully embraced. Rainey came home happy, well-loved and can't wait to get more cuddles from Chelsea in the future!
Chelsea is the best! I had a last minute trip come up and Chelsea really stepped up to help with Kasbo. Although initially nervous leaving Kasbo with a new sitter, Chelsea quickly eased my mind with timely updates and photos. She went above and beyond to ensure Kasbo was exercised, happy and cared for. Great communication and very responsive. Highly recommend!
Chelsea was an amazing sitter for Juniper and I highly recommend her!! She sent me plenty of updates and photos :) Juniper is also leash reactive and I think Chelsea handled her well on walks, and spent plenty of time with her at home!
Chelsea did an excellent job with Charlie. I was late with instructions being on the west coast. Regardless, she was patient with that, and took care of our dog.
chelsea N. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
I can’t say enough great things about the care my dog receives from Chelsea. She is reliable, quick to respond, and clearly loves animals. My dog loves her and gets so excited every time she arrives for a walk. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in capable hands when I’m at work. She always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy, exercised, and well-cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with dogs for walks, home-visits, or anything else!

Schedule
I work a hybrid schedule in commercial insurance, which gives me flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I work from home most days so I’m available for boarding, daytime walks, drop-ins, and extra attention for your pup.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care your pet may need. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps them feel relaxed and secure while you're away. During walks or visits, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they’re happy and safe at all times. Communication is very important to me, so I always send photo updates and messages during visits so you can see how your pet is doing. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while making sure their pets feel cared for, comfortable, and loved.
A typical day
Every visit usually starts with saying hello and giving your pet some attention so they feel comfortable. For dogs, we’ll typically go out for a walk so they can get some fresh air, exercise, and time to explore. I love being outside and staying active, so walks are always fun and engaging for both of us. After that, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, are fed if needed, and get some playtime or cuddles depending on their personality. Some dogs love to play and burn off energy, while others are happiest just hanging out and getting some extra attention. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing during our time together.
