Hey KC!

Pet care experience

Hello All! My name is Chelsea. I am an artist and dog enthusiast. If you choose me for your midday doggie services, you can rest easy knowing your dog will be in good hands. I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember and have always enjoyed caring for animals! Thanks for considering me for you Rover services and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! I'm from GA so I don't mind the heat. Bring on the midday summer walks! 😊

Chelsea was hired to watch our dog over a weekend, being dropped off on Friday evening and picked up Tuesday morning. During the course of our dog's stay, we had received pictures of our dog with Chelsea's two dogs and other dogs that she was watching. On Tuesday morning, we went to pick up our dog. When we arrived at her house, she came outside and informed us that our dog was "playing with larger dogs" and "must have been scratched at some point". Seeing as we were in a rush, and our dog seemed to be fine, there wasn't much conversation to follow-up on. It wasn't until we got home that we saw the extent of this "altercation". For context, we have a 20 lb. beagle with seizures, that is generally uninterested in other dogs. She's eight years old and generally likes to sleep and interact with people. So the idea that she was playing with multiple larger dogs already seemed off. But once we returned home, I was petting my dog and noticed that she was actively bleeding. Upon further investigation, our dog's shoulder had a mix of fresh and dried blood, which Chelsea could not account for. When pressed on this issue, Chelsea said that she "thought she got scratched by a dog" but wasn't able to tell us more because she "didn't see which one did it". Eventually I was able to clean enough of the blood away to see a relatively large puncture wound. We subsequently had to take our dog to the vet to receive treatment for a bite wound on the shoulder. This narrative is damning because it means one of two things: 1. She had more dogs than she could properly care for, and allowed an epileptic dog to get run over by a much larger dog OR 2. She knows that a dog bit our dog, but won't admit to which dog it was. This second point, which she eventually relented and said is the most likely answer, is worth mentioning because she has two dogs of her own, one of which is a large German Shepherd. This dog was throwing itself against the front door and windows when we met Chelsea, which she clarified as "my dog doesn't like it when I'm in the front yard without her". Although there is no proof that this dog bit ours, it's worth noting that we were aware of one aggressive dog already on the premises, and now Chelsea seems to have selectively missed a dog biting another dog while under her care. Animal services were notified of this and are currently investigating the issue. Chelsea emphasized that the Rover income helps her pay the bills, so our concern is that she is negligent in her responsibilities, housing more dogs than she can properly care for, or both. Either way, this is no environment for any future dog to stay in and I cannot urge you strongly enough to seek another dog sitter. Once we tried to initially contact her regarding our dog's bite mark, her cell phone conveniently had "issues" and she took two full days to respond to our inquiries about our dog's injury. If you want peace of mind regarding your dog's safety, this is not where you want to look.

Chelsea did a great job with my little cocoa. I got pictures everyday! Cocoa got to run around and play with other dogs. She also got to play in the waterhose which she loves! I had never used the Rover service before this trip. Chelsea made the whole process smooth sailing!! I would definitely use Chelsea again! You cannot put a price on not having to worry about your pet when u are away. We were scared she wouldnt want to come home!❤❤❤
