WFH Dog Lover Near SF’s Best Parks!
Hi! I’m Chelsea, a reliable and detail-oriented dog lover based in Haight-Ashbury, surrounded by some of San Francisco’s best parks and walking routes (Panhandle, Buena Vista, Alamo Square, and Duboce). I work fully remote at a global tech company, so your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard, go on multiple walks daily, am comfortable administering medications, and prioritize routine, safety, and clear communication so your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for. I also have a bike and car to easily do dog walks in nearby neighborhoods!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Chelsea was great! Took fabulous care of our border collie, and was super on it with meds + sticking within the allowed physical activity while our pup recovers from a broken leg. She sent tons of photos & I could tell our dog had an amazing time and loved staying with Chelsea!
Chelsea was prompt and greeted the dogs with love and care. She took them on a long walk, sent photos along the way, and provided a detailed report on #1s and #2s upon return. The dogs were very comfortable around her, and she handled their quirks and harnesses easily. I would recommend her for dog care!
Chelsea is a very responsible dog owner. She takes great care of her dog River. River is a very fun, loving dog and matches Chelsea’s personality perfectly. She keeps her on a good healthy diet, goes for long walks and adventurous hikes. They mingle at the dog park. She trained River to be very well behaved. River has a great life thanks to Chelsea’s love and care. She grew up surrounded by dogs, including our family dogs, and her sister’s dogs. She is a wonderful dog Mom!!!

Schedule
Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I’ve been working from home for several years (I work in HR for a global tech company), which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around regular walks, playtime, and attentive care. I walk about five miles a day, so it’s easy and natural to walk a pup on my routes or welcome a dog into my home for boarding. My weekends are typically spent hiking, cooking, doing yoga, and enjoying the occasional concert - all very dog-friendly activities that allow me to stay active while making sure pets in my care get plenty of movement, enrichment, and attention!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, routine, and calm, attentive care. My home has a fully fenced yard and deck, giving dogs a secure space to go to the bathroom, relax, and enjoy outdoor time (especially squirrel and bird watching!). I love long walks and tailor activity levels to each dog’s needs. My own dog had double TPLO surgery at a young age, which gave me extensive hands on experience administering medications, monitoring recovery, and being especially attentive to physical and emotional cues. I’m naturally observant and cautious, and I’m good at reading dog body language — stepping in early if a dog feels unsure or overwhelmed and helping facilitate safe, positive interactions. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every dog with patience, respect, and thoughtful care.
A typical day
Stimulate the dogs physically and mentally with long dog walks in the Haight/Ashbury area (GGP/ Panhandle/Buena Vista) and I have tons of toys to stimulate them with balls, bones, ropes for tug of war, etc.
