Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful and clean, and I will respect your space while you are away. If you have detailed instructions on what you would like done, I promise to follow them. If you are vague in your introductions, trust that I will be respectful and leave your home the way I found it, but with a more recently cared for pet :)

Information Chelsea S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your furry friend has any special personality traits and how I can accommodate them! I have a funky cat who can be selective with who he likes and what he needs, so I am used to adjusting my behaviors to their individual needs :)

A typical day

As we are starting out and getting to know each other, I will try to walk in the vicinity of your home. That is an area I will assume your dog is familiar with, and as I’m a stranger entering their life, I find it best to get to know each other better in an area they are already comfortable in. Over time, I can take them to the Erie Canal walks or on a hike if that’s something you’re comfortable with! Or if they have a favorite place to walk, I’m open to suggestions!

Cat mom and long time dog fan!

Pet care experience

I can’t remember a time growing up where I wasn’t surrounded by pets; cats, dogs, hamsters, fish. I went to school for Zoology and have worked at multiple vet clinics, so I have a good understanding of how to handle different tempered pets, how to be patient with them, and when something might become an emergency. I am very familiar with what’s safe and unsafe for our pets, and as I have a temperamental cat myself, I am patient and understanding when it comes to some more unique personalities. I have experience with a variety of breeds and ages, and understanding of what each individual needs. From volunteering at dog shelters to working at vet clinics, I am confident in my ability to gain your furry friend’s trust. If they require special treatment, just let me know what I can do to make them feel at ease! I can crate and feed your friends, take them for long or short walks, make sure your gates and doors are locked. I’m very organized and very thorough, and would never do anything to put your loved ones in harms way.

Chelsea was amazing!!! Had she not sent me updates and photos I would have no idea anyone was there, everything was in the exact same spot I left it! I was nervous to leave my kitties with someone new however she made it so easy and a breeze! I loved the daily pictures and highly recommend!!! Thanks again!

Chelsea was great. She was very attentive to our cat and reliably was there for him.

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