Pet care experience

Friend to all playful creatures!

I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with three cats from the age of two through adulthood, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all personalities and needs. From feeding and refreshing water to cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they're happy and healthy, caring for cats has always been second nature to me. Over the past two years, I've also cat-sat multiple times for friends and former coworkers. Each cat has had a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, stick to their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Last year, I cared for a cat in my home for four months. The original stay was planned for three months, but the owner's travel plans changed, and I was happy to extend the stay. It was a wonderful experience, and I loved getting to know her quirks and personality over that time :) While I haven't owned a dog myself, I've always loved being around them. Many of my friends are dog owners and dog walkers, and I've joined them on walks and spent plenty of time playing with their pups. I love energetic walks just as much as quiet companionship, and I'm always excited to meet a new furry friend. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a patient companion, or someone who will carefully follow their routine, I'll treat them with the same care and affection I would my own <3

Chelsea sent many picture updates throughout the stay. My dog looked so comfortable! And upon pick up, it seemed like he wanted to stay longer

Chelsea is a wonderful pet caregiver. She is kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. She's looked after my cat for extended stays in her home and has also walked my friends dogs, and we always felt good knowing they were well taken care of. Would happily recommend her!

Chelsea has taken care of my cat several times while I've been on vacation, and my cat loves her! She's communicative, prompt, and respectful of my space. Chelsea loves animals, and it's clear in her interactions with them. I would definitely recommend Chelsea to others looking for someone to take care of their furry friends.

Chelsea took care of my 5-year old German Shepherd for two weeks while me and my family were gone for vacation. She came recommended from a family friend. Chelsea was highly communicative and sent photographs of our boy Balto everyday. I’d recommend her for any pet sitting or dog walking needs. Gracias Chelsea!

Chelsea is a great pet sitter! I've seen her take care of dogs and cats, she is very gentle and also very professional. I've seen her board a cat for several months, and she's walked plenty of dogs. She is a caring and reliable communicator who I'd happily trust with my own pets!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, depending on your pet's needs. I'm happy to work around your pet's normal routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time keeping them company. I know consistency is important for pets, so I strive to make each visit as stress-free and comforting as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I believe the best care starts with listening to each owner's instructions. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, I'll make sure they stick to their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and discussed beforehand), and plenty of love and attention. I'm attentive to each pet's behavior and will always let you know if I notice anything unusual. I also understand how important it is to respect your home, so I'll treat it with the same care I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and leaving everything just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I'm happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor our time together to their personality and energy level. I’m an active person who enjoys working out and getting outside every day, so I’d love to take energetic dogs on walks, explore the neighborhood, visit a nearby park (if that’s part of their routine), and make sure they get plenty of physical exercise and mental enrichment. For lower-energy pets, senior dogs, or independent cats, I’m just as happy spending quiet time together, giving lots of affection, and letting them relax at their own pace. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away!

Before our first visit, I’d love to learn everything that makes your pet unique. Please let me know about their daily routine, potty schedule, activity level, favorite toys or treats, medications, allergies, fears, and whether they’re comfortable around other animals or people. I want to make their experience feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Communication is really important to me, and I’ll happily send regular updates and plenty of photos throughout the visit so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
