Ratings and reviews
Our little sheltie girls had a great walk with Chelsea, we received lots of photos and they came home tired and happy.
Chelsea was amazing. Her ability to handle our large and various number for animals with ease was the perfect fit, she even made them special enrichment treats! We came home to a happy crew. Thanks again!!
Chelsea went above and beyond to take care of Winston and Miso! Not only did she check in frequently, but she shared tons of photos and videos, and even did training with our pup. Winston can be a handful, and we felt at ease knowing Chelsea was watching after him. We would happily trust her to take care of our little ones next time we are away! Thank you so much, Chelsea!
Chelsea has been a godsend for us! We have a 17-year-old Chihuahua who is high maintenance in every way possible. Chelsea brings experience, knowledge, and a huge heart which is invaluable. Her great communication and attention to detail has allowed us to live life and know our fur baby is taken care of. From carrying him up and down the stairs because of his arthritis, to how to hide his meds in his food, to what to watch for on his day-to-day medical journey, Chelsea has gone above and beyond to take care of our little Gusto.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Chelsea! She took incredible care of my two dogs while I was away on a two-week vacation. It was such a relief knowing they were in expert hands. Her professional background in animal care really shows. She brings a level of skill and understanding that’s rare. Both of my dogs can be quite reactive, but she managed to have them calm within seconds of meeting — another rarity! When we went over everything before the trip, she asked all the right questions. While I was away, she was wonderfully communicative, sending regular updates and photos. When I returned, my babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’ve used other sitters before, and none have been more capable or caring. I’ll absolutely be booking with Chelsea again. I'm so grateful to have found her. Highly, highly recommended!
Chelsea is LITERALLY THE BEST!!! She takes care of our 17 year old dog who has a lot of special needs and feeding/medication instructions. I never have to worry about my baby when Chelsea walks him and feeds him. She does it with a lot of love and attention to the detailed instructions of how to give my dog his medication (which is not an easy task)! Plus, my dog absolutely loves her! She used to work at the zoo so she knows a ton about caring for animals which puts my mind at ease. She is also a great communicator and a stellar human being. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
