Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional animal carer.
Hello I'm Chelsea and I'd love to make some new animal friends! I'm currently taking a sabbatical from work to study for a Masters in Conservation. Previously, I worked as a Zookeeper for 10 years working with a variety of species and I've always loved spending time with animals. In addition to Zookeeping, I have lots of experience of looking after cats (having previously been with Cat in a Flat for 7 years). I've also got experience in dog walking and used to volunteer at boarding kennels and dog training classes. I'm also able to look after small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles and birds. I have two lovely bunnies at home! As a pet sitter or dog walker, I will ensure your animals get all the care and attention they need and be sure to send you regular updates on how they're getting on. I am happy to provide enrichment or training as directed by you and I'm comfortable and experienced in administering oral and topical medication. If you have any questions about me, my experience or the services I provide then please do contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Ratings and reviews
Chelsea was fantastic with our cats—even our shy one warmed up to her! She sent daily photos, which really eased our minds. She’s punctual, attentive, and follows instructions carefully. We felt totally confident leaving our cats in her care.
My cat had his leg amputated recently and I adapted the garden to keep him contained while he's recoverng. Chelsea came round twice a day and spent time with him, let him out in the morning and brought him in late afternoon. I had great updates and pictures from her, which made me not worry whilst being away. I will definately call on her again.
Chelsea was really great interacting with my cat who can be a bit of a challenge. Highly recommend.
Chelsea was very thorough running through everything when we first met, communication was great throughout, she gave excellent photo updates, and our cat seems to have really enjoyed the time spent with her. We couldn't have asked for more.
Chelsea has done a fantastic job at taking care of Flocon and updating us with nice pictures when we were away. She has also been very easy to communicate with and flexible, and we definitely would recommend her !
Chelsea was great with our cats! She sent us photos and told us about her visit, and they were happy when we came home.
