The designated “pet-sitting” family
Pet care experience
My husband, two daughters ages 6 and 8, and myself have been the designated “pet-sitting” family for friends, neighbors and family for the past 10 years. We’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, kittens, bunnies, chickens, ducks, etc. all like they were our own. We love animals and our children know animal safety (don’t corner animals, ask before petting, put your hand out, don’t scare with sudden movements/yelling). We’ve owned a beautiful golden retriever who passed away from old age almost two years ago now and love to pet-sit and walk dogs to get our “dog-fix”. We own the white cat in the picture, she isn’t a huge fan of dogs but is very much used to them, even the ones who desperately want to play with her! I saw that there was a need for pet-boarding in our specific area and thought we might be able to help fill that gap. Our specialty is in-home care but we can certainly provide walks or come to your home to let animals out/provide care. Both my husband and I have fairly flexible schedules and can provide frequent check-ins and potty breaks with the max alone time being 4-6 hours during the work day. We are comfortable with providing care to older and/or sick animals. Our own golden had arthritis and needed to be picked up to get up the last year (and he weighed 85lbs!). We would love to spoil, play with and love on your pet!
Reviews
What a beautiful family! Missy Mae felt right at home with them. Her breed is usually skittish around new people, but she fell in love with them the first time she met them. I am so grateful for Rover and the service they provide. It was wonderful to find such a perfect place for Missy Mae when I am away.
Chelsea and family took wonderful care of Kallie! They even sent photos. Walks, lovin's, bedtime, and so much more. We have already booked for a longer stay for Kallie in the near future. SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND NICK & CHELSEA AND FAMILY!
Perfect family for my MIssy Mae!
I left my dog with Chelsea and Nick for several days and had a great experience with them, from initial contact all the way through to picking her up. Great communication, wonderful care and TLC. So thankful for the peace of mind they gave me while leaving a dog that doesn’t get kenneled much! Thank you!

We have a fenced in yard that works great for the dogs we’ve sat in the past. My husband is an avid runner and if your pup has extra energy is always willing to take a dog with him on his runs. We live in a wonderful and walkable subdivision that is great for walking dogs. We keep a clean home with no smoking. We make sure that our pets are let outside plenty during the day, get playtime, cuddles, fed and watered and then if they want, they can even climb in bed at night with us or our daughters.
Home
Information Chelsea & Nick Y. would like to know about your pet
We would love to know what special needs your pet may have ahead of time. We would love to know if they are the type of dog who “bolts” if not on a leash outside or the type to jump a 4ft fence. We would like to know specific feeding/potty schedule. We would also like to know if their general temperament so we can know how to best interact with them.
A typical day
My husband enjoys running with the dogs we pet-sit. The girls enjoy giving cuddles, love, treats and playtime. And I make sure all basic needs are met.

Availability
My husband works flexible hours and works from home part of the day and I work an 8-4 job during the school year. I am home full time during school breaks, as I work in the schools. We frequently travel ourselves, so of course will be unavailable during those times.
