Dog and Cat loving grad student

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a 29 year old law student looking for a way to make some extra income doing something I love: hanging with pups and cats! I have my own 2 year old dog, and previously owned two dogs, so I have a lot of experience with them. I also have previously owned cats. I have been a rover sitter for 3 years now. I would love to take your pup on a walk, check in on them during the day when your away, and can even do overnight sitting in your home with the right set up! Boarding is available pending a meet and greet between your dog and mine. I have experience walking strong headed dogs who need a firm hand, and also have experience with timid/nervous dogs as well. I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes; owning and watching for friends. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter. Can't wait to chat!!! Important Notes: *My schedule has changed such that I can only accept certain types of house sits at this time. Therefore, just because my calendar indicates I am available for sitting, does not guarantee I can accept the booking. Please reach out for more information! *I reserve the right to adjust my rates as needed for things like extra distance traveled, last minute requests, or additional work required due to behavior issues or medical needs, and any other extenuating circumstances.

Great dogsitter! Have contacted her repeatedly to dogsit. She’s very attentive, communicates, and takes great care of our doggo. Highly recommend!

This was Cali's first time being boarded. Chelsea was very good and Cali had a great time. Chelsea was great at communicating and sending many photos and videos of Cali. Would definitely use Chelsea again the next time Cali can not come with me and I need a sitter.

Information Chelsea R. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has a bite history (people or other dogs) please be honest about this. It's not an automatic disqualifer! Please also note if your dog is not house-trained and does not not know how ask to use the restroom or is not on a regular bathroom schedule. Particularly if your dog has accidents in common areas of your building or mine, I need to be prepared to clean it up.

A typical day

We will go on as many walks as needed for your dog to feel stimulated and happy. I am a big believer in cuddles for all pets, and so if they want we can hang out on the couch as all animals are allowed on furniture when with me. I also can play games with them!

I partially work remote (beginning in June I will be entirely WFH/remote). If your pet needs 24/7 watching (meaning you prefer someone to not leave your pet alone for any period of time), I am probably not the best fit. If your pet can hang alone for periods of time, please reach out and we can see what will work!
