Pet care experience

Cat mom and long time dog fan!

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.

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 :)

Chelsea did a great job taking care of my shy, anxious cat. She never stopped trying to make her feel loved and secure. I will definitely use her again.

5 stars! Chelsea watched my guinea pigs while I was away for a week and was amazing. She sent me adorable pics of them every day and even made their enclosures extra cute and cozy. Super reliable and clearly put a lot of care into everything. I came home to relaxed, happy piggies! I couldn’t have asked for better!💕🐹

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 :)
