Safety, trust & environment

I love spending time with animals and don't mind spending a little extra time playing or cuddling with them! I will be very respectful of your home and may even do some light cleaning if needed.

Information Chelsea R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I want to make sure I take the absolute best care of them while you're away!

A typical day

For dogs I'm more than happy to go on long walks or take them to a nearby park. For cats, I can give them a good amount of play time and snuggles (based on what the cat prefers, of course!)

Pet care experience

I have three cats of my own and have been called the "cat whisperer" by friends at my previous animal shelter. I volunteer with Independent Animal Rescue in my free time and I absolutely love all types of animals. Please note: I am not comfortable with dogs that have a history of biting humans. Thank you for understanding.

Our fur babies LOVED hanging with Chelsea for several days. We received daily updates and photos of all pets and plants letting us know that everyone was happy. Chelsea really calmed any nerves we had going into our vacation and really helped us enjoy our time away, and I'm pretty confident the house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it!

Chelsea really went above and beyond to take care of our animals and house. She was very communicative, sent pictures and daily summaries about Lexie’s day, and even drove to pick up some anxiety meds for Lexie when she was having trouble calming down. I can’t say enough nice things about her services, so I’ll just say that my animals were very well taken care of and Chelsea’s services were worth every penny. I’d hire her again without a second thought.

Chelsea was amazing! She took great care of Tito in my place and was super communicative and gave great updates. Will definitely have her look after Tito again!

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