* City of Anaheim prohibits boarding of pets in residential areas. We are unable to offer boarding at our house. ** If you are unable to do a in-person meet & greet, Zoom meeting is required to go over our profile questionnaire and meet you and your furbabies. *** Please make sure your pet is up to date on vaccination before inquiring for a booking. We require Rabies. **** Holiday pricing in effect for all major holiday times (Valentine's Day weekend, Easter Break, Memorial Day weekend, 4th of July weekend, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas/New Year's Break). See below... We started 24 years ago sitting for friends & family. They can go on vacation and not worry about their pups. They know that they are in good hands. Back in the day, we would send cute photos of their pup via email to my friends and family. Now through Rover, we upload pics of the pups, which can be viewed using the Rover app for smartphones. Chelsea is recipe developer, competitive home cook, and part-time caregiver to her 94-years young grandma. We may have events to do media coverage on. Events range from 2-8 hours. For caregiving, she may be away from 4-8 hours once or twice a week. Richard works from home. When booking, we will let you know in advance if anything is on our calendar. If you require 24/7 care, please mention it in your inquiry to see if we can accommodate for the dates you request. House Sitting and Drop-In Requirements: - Owner and pup profiles must be complete before accepting Meet & Greets and Reservations. - Must be over 1 year old. Puppies under 1 year old are taken on a case-by-case basis. - House must have central air/heating with access to change temperature if needed. - House must be free of clutter so we can move freely without tripping or having to move things to get around. - Bathroom must be clean and counter space clear for our bathroom needs. - Bed and pillows need to be available. We will bring our own linens. Drop-In visits: 10-mile radius of 92805. We can travel to cities outside of this range, but commute time and mileage will be an extra charge. ***Holiday boarding will be in effect for the following dates: - December 23, 2025 - January 5, 2026 - February 13-17, 2026 - March 27 - April 13, 2026 - May 22-26, 2026 - July 3-6, 2026 - September 4-8, 2026 - November 25-30, 202 - December 23, 2026 - January 4, 2027 Here is Rover's refund policy: - You'll get a full refund if you cancel by 12:00 noon the day before the stay begins (12:00 noon is determined by your sitter's time zone). - If you cancel after 12:00 noon the day before the stay begins, you'll get a 50% refund for the first 7 cancelled days. Example: If you cancel a 4-week vacation after 12:00 noon the day before the stay begins, you'll only be charged 50% for the first 7 days. You'll get a full refund for the remaining 3 weeks.

Best sitter ever!! You can see from all of the amazing photos and videos that our pup is in the best hands while we are away. We appreciate all of the thoughtfulness on household questions and just the overall great care taken of our house and dog.

Chelsea and Richard always provide excellent care for my furbaby and treat my home with care. They truly go above and beyond. I know I can relax and enjoy my travels when Charlie is in such good hands.

I should say they are the worst dog sitters ever because we want them all to ourselves!!! Our dogs ABSOLUTELY LOVE their Auntie Chelsea and Uncle Richard. We recently adopted a dog who is usually a little skittish…but not with her Auntie and Uncle. They love them like their own..Cuddles and pets and lots of spoils! They should get a 10 start…5 isn’t enough!

We truly can’t recommend our pet sitter enough. They go above and beyond every single time they care for our pet while we’re out of the country. They are incredibly flexible, highly responsive, and always keep us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind. You can genuinely tell they truly care about the animals they look after. We feel extremely lucky to have found someone so reliable and compassionate. Thank you for everything!
