Availability

My best friend, my pup, passed away in April 2023 after 10 awesome years together. After taking some time to heal, I’m ready to give my love to other pets! Starting on Feb 10th, 2025 I will be going into the office most weekdays (except every other Friday), so will be unavailable in the mornings and early afternoons. I will still be available in the evenings, every other Friday, weekends, and possibly some late afternoons by request.

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you so much for considering me to care for your furbaby. I know that it can be stressful to entrust your pet to someone else, and I aim to ease your worries. My goal is to make your day easier by making sure that your pet enjoys great days that include exercise and loving companionship. I am reliable and guarantee to show up on time as scheduled and give your pet my full attention while they are in my care. I have grown up with dogs since I was a baby, and my last best friend was a small, deaf pup. I have learned an extensive amount about dog behaviors, training, and caring for a special needs pet. My other personal experience comes from caring for the dogs and cats of my friends, neighbors, and family. I feel confident in caring for animals of any ability and hope that you will feel comfortable knowing that you are leaving your pet in capable, loving hands. I am committed to providing all pet parents with full peace of mind and all pets with a little extra love and attention.

Chelsey took the absolute best care of my kitties! I got pictures and updates and they had a great time relaxing and playing while I was gone!
